Legendary Russian Bass Nikita Storojev Joins Price Rubin
Legendary Russian Bass Singer Nikita Storojev has signed with Price Rubin & Partners for Worldwide representation. Mr. Storojev who won the Tchaikovsky International Competition in 1978 (a prize shared with Valentin Pivovarov) went on to serve as principle soloist with the Bolshoi Theater and Moscow Philharmonic Society.

Mr. Storojev has sung more than 50 operatic roles and is perhaps best known for his astute portrayal of Mussorsky's Boris Godunov. Miclos Fay, noted operatic critic writes:
"The greatest enjoyment for the public were the soloists, especially the principal soloist, Nikita Storojev. Every time he starts to sing, we hear the same quality of sound as the greatest Boris’: Christov, Gyaurov, Nesterenko... Storojev’s performance alone already makes the production exceptional..."
