Teona Dolnikova

Teona Dolnikova is familiar to Russian TV viewers from the series "Gypsy with an exit" and "The Last Janissary". But the girl gained particular popularity on stage, playing various roles in musicals.

Teona Valentinovna Dolnikova, Russian theater and film actress and singer, was born on July 24, 1984 in the capital of Russia. Teona and the girl's sister Ketevan grew up in Moscow in a family of humanitarians: her father was the head of the editorial board of the peoples of Russia literature at the Sovremennik publishing house, and her mother worked as a French language teacher at school.

Parents paid great attention to the development of their daughters. Teona began studying ballet at the age of three, and at the age of five she already went to a music school. The actress notes that such a rich program was the child's personal choice, and the parents only followed the daughter's wishes.

As one of the brightest episodes of Theon's life, he recalls the story of the appearance of his first own instrument: on the night before his birthday, his mother asked what her daughter wanted as a gift. The girl wanted a violin, which she found when she woke up on a festive morning.

At the age of 12, Teona entered the Gnessin College of Music, combining her studies with a regular school. There the girl played the violin, piano and sang. Since childhood, Dolnikova had good vocal skills, which she consolidated in school productions. But, wanting to get out on the big stage, the girl rightly judged that working with teachers would not be superfluous.

She studied at Theona College for two years, and then studied at the jazz school at its base. According to the actress, there the future celebrity received knowledge that allowed the girl to maximize her own talent.

Theona got on the big stage thanks to a coincidence of circumstances and her own courage. In 1999 it was decided to stage the Polish musical Metro on the Russian stage. The authors of the original musical sought not to use well-known names, but to give a chance to new talents to break through, which is why in the Russian version the selection for the musical turned out to be open, for the first time in the history of Russian-language productions of this kind.

Having heard on the radio that there was a casting for roles in a new musical, Dolnikova was not afraid to come and compete with several thousand other ambitious young people. Teona at that time was 15 years old, and Ketevan discouraged her younger sister from participating in the selection, appealing to the need to have at least minimal popularity or connections in order to interest the director. And the producers, as it turned out later, initially saw a famous actress in the lead role, so that the musical was easier to promote. But it turned out differently.

After the initial selection of talents, the casting itself began. For several months, the actors learned the right parts, so that at the audition, the director decided whether he wants to see this person on stage, and if so, in what role. Hearing Teona performing one of the most difficult arias of the musical, Janusz Yuzefovich insisted that the girl be entrusted with the main role.

The musical "Metro" was unexpectedly an overwhelming success. Everybody tried to see the production - from ordinary people to show business stars. There the troupe met Alla Borisovna Pugacheva, who spoke approvingly about the musical. Separately, the Prima Donna noted Teona's talent, and in the future, when Alla Borisovna invited the actors of the musical to participate in the Christmas Meetings program in 2001, only Dolnikova from the whole troupe performed a solo number. For the role of Anna in Metro, Teona was nominated for the State Prize of the Russian Federation.

In 2002, thanks again to her own tenacity, Theona got the role of Esmeralda in the musical Notre Dame de Paris, in which she played until 2004. To make this happen, the girl recorded a disc with a demo version of the song "Live" from this production and sent it to composer Richard Cochante. The maestro was shocked by the performance of the composition so much that he immediately invited Dolnikova to the casting, where it was not difficult for a talented girl to charm the rest of the project leaders.

Subsequently, for the role of Esmeralda Theona she received the Triumph Youth Theater Prize, the highest non-state award in the arts, and the Golden Mask Prize.

In 2004, Dolnikova was invited to the production of "Warriors of the Spirit" and approved for the main female role. In this musical, Teona played with Dmitry Dyuzhev and Pavel Maikov, but the girl was by no means lost against the background of eminent colleagues.

In subsequent years, Teona played in several more musicals: "Viva, Perfume", "The Prophet", "Mata Hari", after which in 2009 she left for the USA to study theatrical art at the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute. In the production of "The Prophet" Teona in a duet with Alexander Postolenko performed the sensual song "Passion".

After two years of study, Teona Dolnikova returned to Moscow to play the main role in the Russian musical "You Can't Choose Times". The production has garnered a lot of rave reviews as a performance that can easily compete with the famous Broadway musicals.

In the same year, the girl played in another successful production called "Count Orlov". In an interview, the actress said that she was seriously carried away by the history of the time in which the action took place. Dolnikova won the Musical Heart of the Theater National Prize for her role as Elizaveta Tarakanova.

Another major work in the field of musicals is the 3D production of Paul Negri, which has been running in Moscow and St. Petersburg from 2013 to the present day. Teona Dolnikova plays the main role in the play.

Then in 2015 she played Juliet in the 3D musical “Romeo and Juliet”. Dolnikova is also involved in the role of Sonechka Marmeladova in the rock opera Crime and Punishment. Since 2016, the girl can be seen in the role of Kitty Shtcherbatskaya in the musical of the Operetta Theater "Anna Karenina".

In addition to musicals, since the beginning of the 2000s, Theona has been actively involved in cinema, although, mainly, either in voice acting or in secondary roles. In particular, as part of the "SLOT" group, the actress participated in the creation of the soundtrack for the film "Boomer".

Another soundtrack was recorded by Theona for Doomed to Become a Star. The main character of the serial film Zhenya Azarina sings in Dolnikova's voice.

In addition, the girl sang songs for the films "The Fourth Wish", "Happy Birthday, Lola", "Kazus Kukotsky", "Palmist".

In 2003-2004, the actress played the role of the gypsy Rada in the popular TV series Poor Nastya. In the same 2003 she participated in the Fort Boyard program. In the team of stars of the musical "Notre Dame de Paris" won 72 210 rubles. The actress also appeared as a cameo in the TV series "Club".

Until 2008, Teona was filmed exclusively in episodes, after which she played one of the main roles in the TV series "Gypsy Girl with a Release." In 2009, the girl voiced Pocahontas in the Russian dub of the cartoon of the same name.

The further development of the Russian film career of the actress is hindered by her departure to America. In 2012-2014, Theona played in three more series, preferring to pay more attention to theatrical performances.

Dolnikova appeared in the role of Lyudochka in the series "The Secret City" and in the sequel to this serial fantasy tape. Pavel Priluchny, Igor Zhizhikin, Elena Tashaeva and others became the artist's colleagues on the site.

Teona also won several awards as a singer. In 2001, the girl took part in the Slavianski Bazaar festival, where she performed The Swan Song. This composition brought her the Grand Prix, which was personally presented by Alla Pugacheva. The prima donna noted that she performed the classical composition of Theon fresh and interesting.

Dolnikova received her second vocal award in Los Angeles, it was the Grand Prix of the Golden Voices competition for young singers in 2010.

In addition to festivals, the girl showed talent in several Russian vocal shows: "Universal Artist" in 2013, "One to One" - in 2014. She did not become a winner, but, of course, was an adornment of both shows.

The following year, Teona Dolnikova played one of the main roles in the television series The Last Janissary. The girl's heroine was named Zuleika.

The heart affairs of the beautiful actress have long been a secret behind seven locks. In one interview, she mentioned her ex-husband, but who the actress had in mind is unknown. She herself admitted that she was very amorous, but in dealing with the press she preferred to change the subject.

The only relationship of Teona, which she stopped hiding, is an affair with actor Nikita Bychenkov. The couple's relationship became known at the very end of 2013, and already in June 2014 the actress faced a terrible blow: her lover died on tour of the Et Cétéra theater. Dolnikova, as she herself admitted, for a long time could not recover from what had happened, trying to moderate the pain by investing in work.

Colleague Gosha Kutsenko helped the girl cope with grief. The artist has been singing for a long time and in the fall of 2014 presented a new album "Music". The songs for the collection were written by Gosha himself. One of the compositions, "Heart", Kutsenko dedicated to Teona Dolnikova. The actor wanted the artist to throw out the accumulated pain through this song. And the girl agreed. She accepted Gosha's gift. On the day of the premiere of the new album, Teona's name was on the guest list. But Dolnikova never came. I just couldn't.

In September 2017, the artist posted a photo of Nikita on Instagram, thus honoring the memory of the deceased boyfriend. Teona said that she would always remember Bychenkov. In the same post, the girl thanked her new lover for her understanding.

At the end of 2016, it became known about the romance of Teona Dolnikova and actor Maxim Schegolev. As familiar couples told reporters, the young have been dating for about a year, they have been hiding their relationship for a long time. In December, the media reported that in March 2017 Teona Dolnikova and Maxim Shchegolev are preparing to become parents. If in Teona's case it turned out to be the long-awaited first pregnancy, then Maxim is already raising three children from the previous darlings.

Contrary to the expectations of doctors, the baby was born in February 2017. Teona Dolnikova gave her beloved son. According to other information, Theona gave birth on January 16. The couple named the baby Luca. Parents feared for the newborn, but the baby was born healthy and quickly gained the missing weight.

Dolnikova gets along well with Nikita Bychenkov's mother. The woman happily took the news of the girl's pregnancy and treated Luka like a grandson.

In the summer of the same year, Teona and Maxim baptized their son in Tbilisi. Shchegolev promised that he would become for Luka such a dad as his own father was for him. The actor himself reported about the mystery by posting the corresponding photo on Instagram.

After Luka was born, the couple gave a candid interview. From it it became clear who Theona called "ex-husband". It turns out that the girl is married to an American named Josh. But this relationship is a thing of the past. However, the marriage has not yet been officially dissolved. To complete this process, many formalities need to be overcome.

The couple got married in Kansas, which complicates the divorce case. The artist admitted that she did not care, like Max. But at the first opportunity, the girl will officially divorce. At the same time, Theona is on excellent terms with Josh's “husband” and parents. And the man has a different woman for a long time.

Today the young artist lives in two cities - in Moscow and New York.

After the birth of the baby, Theona did not drop out of the workflow. Already on February 25, 2017, the girl performed at a concert dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the SLOT group.

Then a project called "Workshop" appeared in Dolnikova's career. According to the plot, five years after leaving the walls of the acting academy, the graduates organize a meeting. In the course of the event, unknown cases that occurred during their studies surface. But, despite the dramatic twists and turns, in the lives of the guys there is something that unites the artists - the love of art.

The film was directed by Vladimir Alenikov. The interesting thing is that the film was shot in one shot.
