Herald of Love

That's how, with a capital letter, the singer and actor Yuri Okhochinsky proclaims love. Raising this feeling to the absolute, as the basis of existence, the singer is convincing. Each number of his performance is a colorful novel that wins with the beauty of a velvety voice, an expressive gesture, acting combined with brief passionate remarks. The lines are smart and romantic. It is not by chance that this time the stage was decorated with a picturesque portrait of a young Yuri Okhochinsky in a romantic halo, where the artist depicted him looking like Byron. Petersburg, Paris and Rome – the world stories of these capitals are close to our singer as a citizen of the world; we do not want to lose these cities in these difficult times. And we won't lose it! Everything will be fine, sings our humanist and romantic. And we believe that it will be so. It is wonderful that this time the singer introduced us to his daughter, singer Natalia Okhochinskaya. A tall, slender beauty in a white dress appeared on the stage, so similar to Juliet, who had appeared on the screen before (the screen always accompanies the performances of our singer as a messenger of peace, herald of universal love and beauty) Natasha appeared as a wonderful, absolutely professional singer with a strong voice. It was a joy to see this couple – father and daughter, great singers. And Yuri also confided to the audience (frankness is his unique handwriting) that his son had chosen the path of a priest. This is so consistent with the appearance and life's work of Yuri Okhochinsky himself on the path of service – and a kind of battle! – for Love in its highest, meaning-forming, sacred sense.
