HYPNOTIC by Kseniia Nikolaieva

Darkness that embraces. Slow velvet time. A space between dreams and reality. Red Events ＆ Distribution Ltd is proud to present HYPNOTIC opera experience European Tour, a new immersive project by internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Kseniia Nikolaieva, a frequent guest and resident artist at the Royal Opera House in London, performed together with renowned French pianist Florent Mourier. Conceived as a deeply atmospheric and emotionally charged vocal experience, HYPNOTIC moves beyond the format of a traditional recital, offering audiences a rare opportunity to enter a space of heightened listening, introspection, and sensory immersion. This is not a conventional concert, but a concert-trance, where the voice becomes a living, breathing presence in space, time slows down, and the audience is guided into a state of deep emotional and sensory awareness. Moving between the dreamlike worlds of Debussy, the dark romanticism of Wagner, the introspective lyricism of Brahms and the haunting emotional landscapes of Britten, HYPNOTIC transforms classical vocal music into a deeply immersive sensory experience — where opera, atmosphere, silence and space merge into a single hypnotic flow. Kseniia Nikolaieva has received outstanding critical acclaim for her performances: “There are so few voices like yours in the world that the fingers of one hand are enough for me to count them." – Montserrat Caballe “(…) with a voice that loses precisely zero tone as it goes higher, she is a force of nature.” – Classical Explorer More reviews: https://www.kseniianikolaieva.com/reviews
