Vladimir Putin bestows Order of Alexander Nevsky on Dmitri Hvorostovsky

Dmitri Hvorostovsky
Russian President Vladimir Putin has bestowed the Order of Alexander Nevsky on über-barihunk Dmitri Hvorostovsky. The award is given for exceptional artistry over a period of 20 years or more.

Hvorostovsky has received an outpouring of worldwide love since he revealed earlier this year that he was receiving treatment in London for a brain tumor.

He will next appear on Ocotber 29th with mezzo Elīna Garanča in a concert at the Kremlin Palace, which will be repeated on November 2. On November 18th, he joins fellow barihunk Ildar Abdrazakov at the Bashkir Opera. He returns to the stage on December 19, when he appears in the title role of Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin at the Royal Opera House in London.

He returns to the US stage on February 3rd as Count di Luna in Verdi's Il trovatore at the Metropolitan Opera. This is a reprise of the role he first performed after cancer treatment at The Met on September 25, 29 and October 3 of this year. 

DISCLOSURE: Barihunks deliberately stays out of political issues. We are well aware of the fact the Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad are meeting today. This post is solely intended to honor Dmitri Hvorostovsky.
