On some characters of the show business, the so-called new generation of stars that can be quite sure when and where they appear. Others have legendary status, represent a whole era and have long ceased to be in need of show business - they do is show business. And there is a category of stars, about the time of the stage where no one thinks just seems that they were always as a matter of course. Irina Allegrova is not meant to be a legend like Alla Borisovna and Joseph Davidovich. But all it seems that she was always on the scene.

Childhood in the operetta wings

Irina Allegrova was born January 20, 1952 in Rostov-on-Don, where he worked while her parents: Operetta Theater director Alexander G. Allegra and opera singer M. Sosnovskaya Seraphim. I must say that from the birth of the father of the future singer wore an Armenian surname Sarkisov, but the result is an interesting coincidence became Allegrova. The fact is that since childhood Alexander G. was in love with the circus, where, and ran away from home at the age of 12 years. He, however, a few days later found and returned home, but after graduation he still came to work in a circus, where for a live restless temper has earned the nickname Allegrov colleagues (from the Italian allegro - quick, quick). Subsequently, he took that name as a surname, so that his daughter Irina at birth was Allegrovoj.

Life Irina Allegrova was a child associated with creativity .  Directly to the music Irina adjoined already in Baku, where her family moved in 1961 .  There Allegrova not only continued her education in high school, but also entered the music - the central musical school at the Baku Conservatory in piano .  Initially, everyone thought that the voice Irina there, but then it turned out that she had a well-developed so-called inner ear, and she has the vocal, which was manifested in one of the local singing competitions .  After school is the vocal department of the Baku Conservatory Irina supposed to do, but because of the serious illness has not managed to do it .  When she came to do a year later, she was denied entry, saying that she had no operatic voice .  In a couple of years, Irina had to work for their immediate profession (pianist) in Yerevan Orchestra .  In 1971 Irina married, but shortly after the birth of her daughter Lala (1972) realized that was a mistake, and divorced her first husband, who never saw .

From the hotel to "Electroclub"

Three years later, Allegrova knew I had to realize myself as a singer, left a daughter in the care of his parents and went to Moscow .  Attempting to enter the GITIS was unsuccessful, so a decade from the mid-1970s to mid-1980s for Allegrova passed under the sign of patient and painstaking work in the vocal variety of different hotels in Moscow, in all sorts of little-known musical theaters and collectives .  But in 1984, she met with Vladimir Dubovickii, her future husband and those who are in post-Soviet times called producer .  It Dubovitsky introduced Irina to Soviet music maestro Oscar Feltsman, who soon invited singer of the musical group "Moscow Lights" .  The team soon came under the control of David and was named Tukhmanov "Electroclub" .  Irina herself finally got a chance for a serious vocal career: she performed at the song festival "Song of the Year" (1985), the song "The Voice of the Child", and then became one of the singers of "Electroclub" along with Igor Talc .  This part of the team has achieved a certain notoriety, but the peak of his fame "Electroclub" reached in the 1988-1989 year, after the departure of Talc and coming to his place Victor Saltykov .  However, for the most Allegrovoj group gave her, in fact, a trip to the big stage, gradually came to mean certain limits, because of which the singer could not sing exactly those songs that were closer to her so she could not express themselves fully .

Solo career: successful nowhere

Therefore, in 1990, Irina Allegrova left the group "Electroclub" and began a solo career .  It is difficult to say how it had formed, if available at Allegrovoj was not such a strong smash hit what turned out to be the song of Igor Nikolaev, "The Wanderer" .  It was this song to ensure the successful launch of a single voyage on the waves of show business, that this song has asked the melodramatic tone of his solo work Allegrovoj .  The singer even boasts an amazing flair, even among professionals, what song would be a hit and what is not .  Very quickly, her track record were such unconditional hits of the early 1990s as the "Photo", "Womanizer" and others .  Already in 1991 Allegrova gathered with their performances full houses, and in 1992 gave a sold-out concert in the "Olympic" .  And since 1996, begins a new chapter in her career, related to cooperation with Igor Krutoy .  By the way, Igor Krutoy and Irina Allegrova were old acquaintances: from 1979 to 1981, they worked together in the band "Torch" where Allegrova was on vocals and steep worked accompanist .  Cooperation with steep been fruitful, but the image of the "classical Allegrovoj" has already been formed such songs as "Ugonschitsa", "Empress" .  Although, of course, and the tandem Allegrova - Steep created many hits, such as "Unfinished Novel" and "Baba-bitch" .  Since the end of the joint cooperation, which is about 2000, Irina Allegrova mostly recycles his already accumulated artistic baggage .
