A long-time member of the CNT Opera, the famous Croatian bass-baritone Boris Vajda died in Zagreb on March 9, 2015. Boris Vajda was born on February 2, 1933 in Novska, but completed his entire education in Zagreb, having graduated from the Music Academy in the class of the famous singing pedagogue Lav Vrbanic. Already during his studies he won recognition in the school productions, student manifestations May Festivities, as well as in the music programmes of the Zagreb radio. As a young singer he was engaged in TV and screen versions of opera works such as Wolf-Ferrari’s Susanna’s Secret (where he interpreted the role of Count Gil), Nicolai’s The Merry Wives of Windsor (Husband Fluth), Tchaikovsky’s Queen of Spades (Count Tomsky), Ravel’s opera The Spanish Hour (Ramiro), etc. His first engagement was in the Zagreb Comedy Theatre where he sang in operettas, comic operas and musical plays acquiring valuable stage experience, immediately proving himself as an exceptional interpreter in numerous performances of the Zagreb theatre during the 1950s and 1960s: Parisian Life and The Beautiful Helen by Offenbach, Moscow, Cheryomushki by Shostakovich, The Moon by Orff, Le Compte Ory by Rossini, The Secret Marriage by Cimarosa, Baron Trenk by Albini, Mala Floramy and Spli’ski akvarel by Tijardovic, The Lads on the Ship by Zajc, Đerdan by Gotovac, Zeller’s The Bird-seller and many others. In both smaller and larger roles, Boris Vajda always showed full involvement and every role was enriched with the beauty of his voice that had an unusual, individual recognisable timbre of very balanced registers. Having become prominent due to his vocal abilities of high-quality and having shown musicality and good singing techniques, he was offered a place at the Zagreb Opera, so in 1969 he became a member of the Opera of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb where he takes over the baritone and bass-baritone character and especially comic roles. He sang the role of Figaro in Mozart’a The Marriage of Figaro, Consul in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, Krushina in Smetana’s The Bartered Bride, Levi in Zajc’s Nikola Subic Zrinjski, Bartolo in Rossini’s The Barber of Seville and most of all the role of Stanac in Gotovac’s opera carrying the same name. He retired in 1991. His creations in these operas were exceptional: Sulek’s Storm, Borodin’s Prince Igor, Prokofiev’s The Love for Three Oranges, Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Verdi’s La Traviata, Rigoletto and Othello, Puccini’s Tosca, Gotovac’s Morana and Mila Gojsalic, Bizet’ s Carmen, Offenbach’s The Tales of Hoffmann, Giordano’s Andrea Chčnier and many others. The roles his sang always confirmed his exceptional voice, a baritone of immense beauty and resonance, balanced registers and good vocal technique. A well-built posture and his very pleasant and easy-going manner of appearance made Vajda a singer who was well-accepted on stage and for this he received numerous compliments: Stanac of Boris Vajda has a voluminous sound and a very playful interpretation /in Tosca Boris Vajda‘s sacristan for years has been the top-level stage-vocal miniature/ in the role of Fra Melitone in La Forza del Destino – the discreet Boris Vajda, of fine stage and singing persuasiveness. It was with the role of Verdi’s Fra Melitone that he celebrated his 45thanniversary of artistic work and in 2001, on the same stage he was awarded the acknowledgment Golden Bell of the Croatian Society of Music Artists. With the CNT he performed at large world opera centres such as: Tokio, Osaka, Salzburg, Prague, Venice, Trieste, Moscow, Geneva, Athens, Luxemburg, Vienna, etc. Vajda created around fifty roles at the Zagreb Opera and had a rich concert career. He will remain a part of the history of the Croatian opera. The Zagreb audience will remember him for his many opera interpretations. His colleagues and artists and theatre workers will remember him as a man who was always merry and who approached work in a highly professional manner and with collegiality, emanating positive energy and good spirit. His funeral is on Thursday, March 12, 2015 at 11.40 am at the Zagreb Mirogoj.

Preminuo Boris Vajda Dugogodišnji član Opere Hrvatskoga narodnog kazališta, poznati hrvatski bas- bariton Boris Vajda preminuo je u Zagrebu 9. ožujka 2015. Boris Vajda rodio se 2. veljače 1933. u Novskoj, a cijelokupno školovanje završio je u Zagrebu, diplomiravši solo pjevanje na Muzičkoj akademiji u klasi čuvenoga pedagoga Lava Vrbanića. Još u vrijeme studija istaknuo se u akademskim produkcijama, na studentskim manifestacijama Svibanjske svečanosti, kao i nastupima u glazbenim programima zagrebačkog radija. Kao mlad pjevač bio je angažiran u televizijskim snimkama opernih djela, ekranizacijama opera Suzanina tajna Wolf-Ferrarija, gdje interpretira ulogu grofa Gila, supruga Flutha u Veselim ženama windsorskim Nicolaija, oficira Tomskoga u Pikovoj dami Čajkovskoga, Ramira u Satu Španjolske Ravela i dr. Prvi stalni angažman dobio je u ZGK Komedija, nastupajući u operetama, komičnim operama i glazbenim igrokazima, stječući dragocjena scenska iskustva i odmah se potvrdivši kao izniman interpret u nizu izvrsnih predstava toga zagrebačkog kazališta pedesetih i šezdesetih godina; Pariški život i Lijepa Helena Offenbacha, Moskva Trešnjevka Šostakoviča, Mjesec Orffa, Grof Ory Rossinija, Tajni brak Cimarose, Barun Trenk Albinija, Mala Floramy i Spli'ski akvarel Tijardovića, Momci na brod Zajca, Đerdan Gotovca, Ptičar Zellera i mnogim drugim. U nizu većih i manjih uloga tog repertoara Boris Vajda je uvijek pokazivao krajnji angažman, a svaki je ostvareni lik obogaćivao ljepotom svojega glasa neobične, individualne, prepoznatljive boje, ujednačen u registrima. Istaknuvši se glasovnim sposobnostima iznimne kvalitete te pokazavši i muzikalnost i dobru tehniku pjevanja, dobio je ponudu od zagrebačke Opere, pa je 1969. godine prešao u ansambl Opere Hrvatskoga narodnog kazališta u Zagrebu, gdje preuzima baritonske i bas-baritonske uloge karakternoga, a osobito komičnoga faha te je, s obzirom na širinu svojih glasovnih mogućnosti, interpretirao Figara u Mozartovu Figarovu piru, Konzula u Puccinijevoj Madame Buteterfly, Krušinu u Smetaninoj Prodanoj nevjesti, istakavši se osobito kao Levi u Zajčevu Nikoli Šubiću Zrinjskom, Bartolo u Rossinijevu Seviljskom brijaču, a ponajviše kao Gotovčev Stanac u istoimenoj operi, sve do odlaska u mirovinu 1991. godine. Iznimne su bile njegove kreacije u operama Oluja Šuleka, Knez Igor Borodina, Zaljubljen u tri naranče Prokofljeva, Čarobna frula Mozarta, Traviata, Rigoletto i Otello Verdija, Tosca Puccinija, Morana i Mila Gojsalića Gotovca, Carmen Bizeta, Hoffmannove priče Offenbacha, Andrea Chènier Giordana i mnoge druge. Uloge koje je interpretirao uvijek su potvrđivale njegov izniman glas, bariton neobične ljepote i zvučnosti, izjednačenih registara te solidnu pjevačku tehniku. Stasitom pojavom, veoma ležernim i simpatičnim nastupom, Vajda se predstavljao kao pjevač kojega se rado gleda na sceni, što uvijek bilježi i kritika laskavim priznanjima: Stanac Borisa Vajde glasovno voluminozan, a glumački upravo zaigran / u Tosci Crkvenjak Borisa Vajde postao je već godinama vrhunska scensko-vokalna minijatura/ u ulozi fra Melitonea u Moći sudbine – nenametljivi Boris Vajda, fine pjevačko-scenske uvjerljivost. Upravo je ulogom Verdijeva fra Melitonea proslavio svoj jubilej, 45. obljetnicu umjetničkog rada, 2001. godine na sceni matičnoga kazališta, a iste je godine dobio je i priznanje Zlatno zvono Hrvatskoga društva glazbenih umjetnika. S matičnom je zagrebačkom Operom nastupao u velikim svjetskim opernim središtima: Tokiju, Osaki, Salzburgu, Pragu, Veneziji, Trstu, Moskvi, Genevi, Ateni, Luxemburgu, Beču, itd. Ostvarivši pedesetak zapaženih uloga u zagrebačkoj Operi te bogatu koncertnu karijeru, Boris Vajda ostat će upisan kao dio povijesti hrvatskoga operno-glazbenog stvaralaštva. Zagrebačka će operna publika sa simpatijama pamtiti mnoge od njegovih opernih kreacija, a njegove kolege umjetnici i kazališni djelatnici sjećat će se Vajde kao čovjeka koji je uvijek s veseljem, velikom profesionalnošću i kolegijalnošću sudjelovao u radu svojega kazališta, emanirajući oko sebe pozitivnu energiju i dobri duh. Posljednji ispraćaj Borisa Vajde bit će u četvrtak, 12. ožujka 2015. u 11,40 sati na zagrebačkom Mirogoju.Tweet
