Irina Ponarovskaya was a "refined icon of Soviet pop". She was exalted and adored, she skillfully combined exquisite epatage with a sense of proportion, and appearing on stage, charmed: with her amazing voice, enchanting charm, refined femininity.

At the peak of her career, the beauty of the singer was bright, one could even say, dazzling and at the same time on the semitones. The ability to take precise notes and a wide range of possibilities extended not only to vocal abilities, but also formed the basis of the soul. The creative biography of Irina Ponarovskaya is as much a role model as the masterful performance of a complex musical work without the slightest hint of falsity. But the personal life of a magnificent, stylish star - a series of meetings, unfulfilled hopes and disappointments. She, without making much effort, overshadowed those who to this day out of their skin to attract more attention. And family, children... - it's "all complicated" here..... She is one of those few singers whose popularity goes back to the times of the Soviet Union and does not fade until today.

This is how her fate turned out

Irina Ponarovskaya was born in Leningrad (date of birth - March 12, 1953). Her parents were people from the world of music. Her mother, Nina Arnoldi, worked as a concertmaster at the Leningrad Conservatory. Father Vitaly was a conductor of a jazz band and its artistic director. The family surrounded the girl with a musical atmosphere - just the case when children choose for themselves a creative biography without any coercion from adults, but simply because they live it from an early age.

Attending music school together with general education was for Irina Ponarovskaya more a pleasant entertainment than an onerous duty. During her studies, she mastered not only the piano, but also the harp, and then her grandmother pays attention to the vocal data of her granddaughter. Fifteen-year-old girl is introduced to Lina Borisovna Arkhangelskaya, a famous vocal teacher, thanks to whose efforts Irina revealed the huge potential of her voice. In 1971, she enters the Leningrad Conservatory and diligently finishes it, although at the senior courses of the talented singer already "covers" the real fame.

Star popularity

Irina Ponarovskaya becomes popular, performing with the VIA "Singing Guitars", where she was a soloist from 1971 to 1976. In 1975, an event for the entire Soviet pop music scene took place: director Mark Rozovsky staged a rock opera "Orpheus and Eurydice" - the first production of its kind in the USSR. The main creative team working on the opera was Irina Ponarovskaya's ensemble, with her playing the title role. Thanks to the image of Eurydice and her amazing vocals, she attracts attention at the international festival held in Dresden.

From Germany she returns truly famous. The status of "Soviet superstar" is finally secured after her performance in Sopot (1976). There the singer is literally carried on her hands: she is given a personal limousine, printed on magazine covers, showered with applause and flowers. The first foreign trips started a good tradition, when Irina Ponarovskaya, a beautiful woman and an extraordinary creative person, began to be associated with a variety of "titles", among them:

• "Frau Festival";
• "Miss Objective";
• "Miss Chanel of the Soviet Union";
• "Icon of Russian pop music".

Stylish images in which Irina Ponarovskaya appeared on stage and in the movies, secured her status as a trendsetter of pop fashion. Not surprisingly, with the beginning of the new millennium, her biography was supplemented by a passion for the design direction - she created her own brand of fashionable clothes and opened an atelier. But that was later, and at the junction of seventies-eighties she enjoyed the first, brightest rays of fame, not stopping at what has been achieved and expanding the horizons of available opportunities.

A rich creative life

Publications on the covers of German magazines made her a notable person, so when choosing an artist for one of the important roles in the psychological detective "It doesn't concern me" film director Herbert Rappaport approved the candidacy of Irina Ponarovskaya. So began her acting career, which enriched the cinematography of the following works:

• criminal vaudeville "Robbery at Midnight";
• the musical movie "Krakatuk Nut";
• the psychological detective "None of My Business";
• the comedy musical "The Trust That Broke."

Since 1991, the singer devotes more time to variety activities. In the nineties, Irina Ponarovskaya's discography was enriched with several albums, and a busy concert schedule allowed her to forget about her complicated personal life, where moments of happiness, perhaps, were worth suffering disappointments.

Off-stage and off-stage

Irina Ponarovskaya attracted many men, but it so happened that during a long creative biography she did not find her "one and only". Her personal life is associated with two scandals that were actively discussed by the press. Irina Ponarovskaya's former adopted daughter, being an adult, stated about the abuse that took place in the family of the famous singer. The second scandalous story is the affair with Soso Pavliashvili. It was a connection with a married man, the young performer cheated on his wife with the star and at the same time used her connections for his career.

Ponarovskaya has a son from jazzman Weyland Roddy, who, according to the statement of adopted Anastasia Kormysheva, practiced manhandling and also insisted on returning her adopted daughter back to the orphanage. The artist is often with her son's family, performs at private events, but tries to avoid communicating with journalists. Rumor has it that the celebrity plans to return to active pop activity. If she decides to declare herself again, information about this will certainly be published on the website kontramarka.de.
