About

Viktoriya Dodoka began her musical training in her home city of Krasnodar near the Black Sea, later graduating in singing from the Tchaikovsky State Conservatoire in Moscow. She performed lead roles in a number of productions for Moscow Opera, among them Susanna in 'The Marriage of Figaro', Violetta in 'La Traviata', Zerlina in 'Don Giovanni' and Marfa in Rimsky-Korsakov’s 'The Tsar’s Bride'. She sang solo soprano with the Stuttgart Bach Academy Choir in concert performances of Bach’s 'Magnificat', Hendel’s 'Nelson Mass' and Mozart’s 'Requiem'.

Viktoriya emigrated to New Zealand in 2001. She made her New Zealand debut soon after, singing the roles of Olympia /Antonia in Canterbury Opera’s production of 'The Tales of Hoffman'.

"Some Aucklanders had a preview of Viktoriya Dodoka's new album this month when the Russian soprano gave a recital in the Town Hall Concert Chamber. On that occasion, a bracket of Rachmaninov songs, with the supremely unruffled Iola Shelley on piano, was the highlight of the evening. The two women's Rachmaninov Songs offers about a third of the composer's output and includes some of his most lyrical outpourings.”

This CD is a rare treat, recorded by Wayne Laird with his accustomed flair, and one hopes that a second volume is being considered.” - William Dart, New Zealand Herald
