Abstract. The article is dedicated to the world famous Russian bass singer Nikolai Petrovich
Okhotnikov. The singer performed leading roles in more than thirty works by Russian,
Italian, French and German classics of world opera. Okhotnikov’s repertoire is largely
marked by an original interpretation of dramatic images, through which he was able to
achieve signifi cant heights in the art of opera. Based on the traditions of the Russian
vocal school, instilled in Okhotnikov by his teacher Ivan Ivanovich Pleshakov, the singer
became famous for the rich timbre of his voice, the highest skill in acting, and the depth
of psychological penetration into the role. Okhotnikov was also widely known as a vocal
teacher who trained many talented singers that continued the direction of their teacher.
