Childhood and adolescence

Irina Aleksandrovna Allegrova was born January 20, 1952 in the city of Rostov-on-Don in a family of creative people. Her dad is Alexander Grigoryevich Allegrov (Sarkisov) (April 15, 1915 - May 24, 1994) - actor, theater director, Honored Artist of the Azerbaijan SSR and the RSFSR. Even in his youth, he, an Armenian by nationality, officially changed his native surname Sarkisov to Allegrov, taking Italian as a basis musical term"allegro", meaning "cheerful, playful". Mother - Serafima Mikhailovna Sosnovskaya (October 26, 1923 - April 12, 2012) - actress and singer with a magnificent operatic voice.

Until she was nine years old, little Ira lived with her parents in Rostov-on-Don, and then the family moved to the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku. Parents began working at the Baku Musical Comedy Theater. Thanks to such activities, the most famous people always visited the Allegrovs’ house. creative people that era: Muslim Magomayev, Galina Vishnevskaya, Mstislav Rastropovich, Tatyana Shmyga, Aram Khachaturyan and other representatives Soviet culture. Irina Allegrova herself later called Muslim Magometovich Magomayev her first vocal teacher. In Baku, the girl studied at a comprehensive school and at the Central Music School at the Baku Conservatory, where the talented girl was accepted straight into the third grade thanks to the work she performed by Johann Sebastian Bach at the entrance exam. At the final exam, Ira played Sergei Rachmaninov’s Second Concerto and received the specialty “pianist-accompanist”.

Along with general education and music schools, Ira managed to study in a ballet club and draw. Sketches of clothes were her favorite subject for her drawings. The girl also demonstrated her singing talents by participating in the Transcaucasian jazz festival, held in Baku, and took second place there thanks to a perfectly performed composition in the jazz style.

In 1969, Irina graduated from secondary school and intended to enter the performing arts department of the Baku Conservatory. However, it was during this period that the girl fell ill, and her admission had to be postponed. But thanks to her pop voice, the future Crazy Empress does not go unnoticed even then: she is invited to voice Indian films at the Indian Film Festival. Immediately after this, also in 1969, the first tour of the future star took place - together with the Rashid Behbudov Song Theater.

Carier start

In 1970, Irina Allegrova began her permanent career. The first place of work was the Yerevan Orchestra, which was then directed by Konstantin Orbelyan. From the 1970s to the 1980s, there was a period in the artist’s life that can be called “searching for oneself.” She changes several musical groups and travels with them throughout the Soviet Union. In 1975, she got the idea to continue her education, and the girl tried to enter GITIS. The attempt ends in failure: Irina “failed” in the third round of entrance exams. Allegrova decides to focus on work and combines the activities of an accompanist at a choreographic school with private music lessons.

In 1976, Allegrova was accepted into the Leonid Utyosov orchestra, then took the position of soloist of the Inspiration ensemble at the Mosconcert. But the young singer, still in search of herself, does not stay anywhere for long. Only in 1979 did she “settle” in one place for three whole years: she worked in VIA "Fakel". She got there after the Tambov philharmonic ensemble “Young Voices”, with which she won the second All-Union song competition “Sochi-78”. Immediately after the competition, “Young Voices” split into VIA “Cruise” and “Fakel”. The latter then employs pianist-accompanist Igor Krutoy, then a beginner and unknown to anyone.

1982 - Irina Allegrova leaves her job as a singer for nine months. It was a kind of creative stagnation for the artist, during which she even thought about giving up her musical and singing career. The period spent outside of concert activities was spent baking cakes and other sweets at home and selling them. To this day, cooking remains one of Allegrova’s favorite pastimes. Nine months later, the young woman was again drawn to the stage.

Also in 1982, the singer went on tour with the musical theater of Margarita Terekhova, Lyudmila Senchina and Igor Talkov. A little later, Irina and Igor will take part in another project of the Terekhova Theater - the musical and poetic composition-musical “Sister Carrie” based on the novel by Theodore Dreiser, the music for which was written by Raymond Pauls.

1983-1984 - the time of work of the future Crazy Empress in the variety show of restaurants " starry sky" and "Arbat" and the National Hotel. All her performances there lasted only a few minutes, that is, there was no need to talk about much success, but as compensation for this, she met the musician and producer Vladimir Dubovitsky. This man noticed the young performer and brought her to an audition with the then famous composer Oscar Feltsman, author of the hit “Lilies of the Valley.” The eminent composer noted Allegrova’s vocal abilities and wrote the song “Voice of a Child” especially for her, with which the singer first performed at Feltsman’s recital and then at the “Song of the Year” festival in 1985 and was a success. Immediately after this, Oscar Borisovich takes her into his ensemble “Moscow Lights”, where Irina sings as a backing vocalist and solos between sections. Feltsman also helped Allegrova record her first disc with songs performed by her. The most famous works from there - “Voice of a Child”, “I Am Love” and “Hourglass”. Soon, Oscar Feltsman, due to his age, could no longer accompany his ensemble on tour and handed over his brainchild to another composer, David Tukhmanov.

David Tukhmanov brings to the traditional Soviet team new, modern paints. He changes not only the repertoire, but also the name. Now this is not VIA “Moscow Lights”, but the rock group “Electroclub”. The soloists in it are Irina Allegrova, Igor Talkov and Raisa Saed-Shah. The group’s debut was a performance at “Song-86” with the work “Old Mirror”. And the song “ Chistye Prudy" Irina tried so hard performing in the new band that she tore her vocal cords at one of its concerts. The consequences of that injury remained with the woman for the rest of her life - now there was always a very obvious hoarseness in her voice, which, however, did not stop her singing career, but on the contrary, added zest to her image.

1987 - " Electroclub" participates in the “Golden Tuning Fork” competition, where Allegrova and Talkov perform the song “Three Letters” and win, thereby bringing the first professional success to their group. Then the band released their first disc, which contained eight songs. In the same year, Irina performed songs for several films: “Cloud Boy” for the film “Time to Fly” and the romance “Vain Words” for the television series “The Investigation is Conducted by Experts” (this romance was later covered).

At the end of 1987, Igor Talkov left the Electroclub and was replaced by Viktor Saltykov and his team from the Forum group. The brainchild of David Tukhmanov changes its name to “Electroclub-2”. The new rock band is gaining great popularity among Soviet listeners. Irina Allegrova, being a member of this group, also sang several songs in it, written especially for her by Igor Nikolaev: “My affectionate and gentle beast", "Toy".

Solo career

In 1990, Irina Allegrova left the Electroclub-2 group. She decided to start a solo career. As the future Crazy Empress herself admitted, at that moment she went nowhere, having only one song - “The Wanderer” by . This work turned out to be the singer’s trump card: less than a month later, she was recognized as the best singer of the year according to audience voting. The young star’s repertoire is expanding, including the songs “There Was No Sorrow,” “Don’t Fly Away, Love!”, “Photography,” and “Believe in Love, Girls.” Also in 1990 In addition to constant tours with a solo program, Allegrova is mastering television, appearing on screens with enviable regularity.

At first, the artist was her own producer, but a little later she took on Khizri Baytaziev as an assistant director. She has one hit after another: “Womanizer”, “Transit”. Everyone's favorite "Wanderer" reaches the finals of "Song-91". In 1992, Allegrova set a kind of record by giving five solo concerts in three days, and not just anywhere, but in one of the largest halls in the country - the Olimpiysky Sports Complex. At the same time, the singer released a video for the song “My Betrothed,” in which the main role was played by actor Alexander Domogarov. In addition, a giant disc and magnetic album called “My Wanderer” are being released.

1995 becomes a triumphant year for Allegrova. she releases the CD "The Hijacker" and holds several concerts in Kremlin Palace with a full house and resounding success. Concert program was called "Empress" and consisted of two sections. In the first, the artist sang her old hits: “Wedding Flowers,” Happy Birthday,” and in the second, she presented her new songs to the audience.

1996 - the beginning of the collaboration between the Crazy Empress and the composer and the associated radical change in image. Now, instead of the broken young lady, an elegant society lady appeared. Singer and composer create a program lyrical songs “I will part the clouds with my hands”, albums “An Unfinished Novel” and “Table for Two”. Also during that period, the star shot two videos in the USA - “Monologue” and “Don’t Be Late”, in which the actor Oleg Vidov, who was once popular in the USSR and fled to America, participated.

Since then, almost every year the Crazy Empress has delighted fans with new hits and unusual ideas. For example, she sang a duet with, Mikhail,. In the fall of 2011, the star announced that she was leaving the stage and began a farewell tour of Russia, Europe and America.

According to Irina, she now has a new creative team, and together they will find something to surprise their listeners. It was a kind of second wind for the singer-actress.

Personal life

Irina Allegrova got married for the first time at only nineteen years old. And she did it to spite her first love. The first husband was basketball player Georgy Tairov. From him, the singer gave birth to a daughter, Lala, in 1972, and divorced six months later. Subsequently, the artist would call that marriage a mistake. Lala Allegrova works as a director of variety and mass shows, and is now married to sambo wrestler and judoka, Russian judo champion and world sambo champion Artyom Sergeevich Artemyev. Before that, she was married to Ernest Georgievich Bargesyan and has a son with him, Alexander, born in 1995. Georgy Tairov is no longer alive.

Irina Allegrova’s second marriage lasted from 1974 to 1979. Her chosen one was the artistic director of the “Jolly Fellows” ensemble, in which the artist worked, Vladimir Blekher. He wrote the song “Flood” for his wife, which was presented to the public only thirty years later, at “Song of the Year 2013”. The marriage broke up due to the fact that Blecher was sent to prison for currency fraud. However, Vladimir and Irina maintained a very good relationship, they are friends to this day.

For the third time, Allegrova married musician and producer Vladimir Dubovitsky. At that time she worked as a soloist in the Moscow Lights ensemble, and Vladimir worked there as a bass guitarist. As Irina herself admitted, she fell head over heels in love with Dubovitsky, and this is not surprising, given his courage, desperation and some resemblance to a White Guard officer. Despite such a storm of feelings, their marriage lasted from 1984 to 1990 and broke up with Irina’s departure from the Electroclub group. Dubovitsky then married the singer.

The fourth husband of the Crazy Empress was a dancer from her group, Igor Kapusta, nine years younger than her. They lived together from 1994 to 2001, and Irina literally stole Igor in her car from his then girlfriend. The next day Allegrova wrote her famous song The “hijacker”, impressed by what happened. Kapusta and Allegrova never officially got married, although, as they themselves and their friends claimed, they were very happy together. The couple only decided to church marriage, and this had to be done under other people’s names, since the church does not marry those who are not officially married.

The reasons for the separation from Igor Kapusta are not known for certain. According to the most common version, Allegrova could not stand just one betrayal by Igor; according to another version, the man’s betrayals were frequent. Kapusta himself said that Irina’s daughter Lala always opposed him and eventually convinced her mother to leave him. After parting with Allegrova, Cabbage began entrepreneurial activity. He was engaged in the sale of sausages and pates, and mobile payment terminals. I tried to improve my personal life - I got married, new family a girl was born. In 2012, two kilograms of hashish were found in Igor Kapusta’s car and he was sent to prison for drug trafficking. The man was sentenced to six years; he was released after five years in a maximum security colony. In places of imprisonment, he seriously undermined his health: he survived chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in a severe stage, pancreatitis and a heart attack. While he was in prison, his wife divorced him. In May 2018, Igor Kapusta underwent a routine examination in one of the hospitals in the Northern capital and died there from infectious pneumonia.

Irina Allegrova became a pioneer in the genre of explicit videos for her songs. They joked that they should only be shown with the note “Not recommended for children under 16.” We are talking about videos for the songs “Transit Passenger” and “Enter Me.” In the last composition, even the name itself was too bold for the show business of the early 90s.

Sergei Sokolkin used the image of the star in his novel “Russian Chock”. There Allegrova is depicted as the forever young, charming singer Irene Allegrovyan.

The Crazy Empress holds the record for the number of solo concerts at the Olimpiysky Sports Complex. On this moment She had ten commercial concerts there.

Personal life

Irina Allegrova’s first husband was Georgy Tairov. Allegrova lived with the handsome basketball player for only a year and later called this marriage a mistake. But it was in this fleeting union that the only daughter Lala appeared.

The second marriage with the artistic director of the VIA “Jolly Fellows” Vladimir Bleher turned out to be equally short-lived. It was he who wrote the song “Flood” for Allegrova, performed 30 years later on “Song of the Year”. Blecher received a criminal record for currency fraud.

Irina Allegrova met producer and musician Vladimir Dubovitsky during her short work in the Lights of Moscow ensemble, where Vladimir was a bass player. She later said that she was “head over heels” in love with Dubovitsky. He was the kind of man women adore: not afraid to take risks, desperate and somewhat reminiscent of a White Guard officer. But this love also melted. In 1990, lead singer Allegrova left the group and divorced Vladimir Dubovitsky.

The star did not remain alone for long. Desperate love knocked on her door again. Irina’s new chosen one turned out to be the charming dancer of her group, Igor Kapusta. The fact that the man had a girlfriend at that time did not become an obstacle to their happiness. The singer took her lover away, as in her hit about the Nine car.

The couple lived for some time in Irina Allegrova’s country house and even got married. The initiator of the consecration of marriage in the church was Cabbage. But no stamps appeared in the couple’s passports.

During the period the couple lived together, Irina Alexandrovna was overtaken by grief: her beloved father died. The singer interrupted her tour. She returned to the stage with the heartfelt song “I will win you back,” which she dedicated to her father.

Allegrova lived with Igor Kapusta for six years. But the singer’s happiness again turned out to be illusory and short-lived. One day she unexpectedly returned to her Vacation home and saw that my beloved man was not alone. A painful separation followed.

In 2012, Igor Kapusta was accused of trafficking in narcotic substances and placed in a pre-trial detention center. That same year, in April, the singer’s mother, Serafima Mikhailovna, passed away.

Now Irina Allegrova’s favorite people are her daughter Lala and grandson Sasha.
