On March 25, 2018, Giuseppe Verdi's opera "The Masquerade Ball" staged by director Vyacheslav Starodubtsev marked the long-awaited debut of brilliant Veronika Dzhioeva Veronica Dzhioeva: "...Verdi is absolutely my music. In Verdi's works I feel easy and free, this music harmonizes both with my voice and my state of mind. I really like Amelia as a character - she has so much feminine tenderness, so much warmth and charm - it's impossible not to love her. And what marvelous melodies, how much emotion there is in all her arias - it's just a gift for any soprano singer"
