The star composition of the Russian troupe was decorated by the guest star of Covent Garden Royal Opera House, Willard White, astana.kz reports. Willard White was born in a poor but supportive Jamaican family in Kingston. He studied at the Jamaica School of Music and continued his studies at the Juilliard School of Music in New York. Having debuted in the New York City Opera, he now performs regularly at the Royal Opera House "Covent Garden", "Metropolitan Opera", "The English National Opera", "San Francisco Opera", as well as in the opera houses of Munich, Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Geneva, Hamburg, Los Angeles, Madrid and Paris. It is worth noting that the partnership of the two theaters has being built very closely. Thus, the leadership of the Mariinsky Theatre has invited the troupe of "Astana Opera" on tour in St. Petersburg in April of the next year.
