Abstract
The paper is dedicated to the Russian pop singer, operetta artist Anastasia Dmitrievna Vyaltseva (1871–1913) and is timed to coincide with a significant date — the 150th anniversary of her birth. The name of A.D. Vyaltseva is especially dear to her compatriots — residents of Bryansk and Orlov, who cherish the documents associated with her in museum expositions and archival funds. Remarkable is her very path — the “Russian Cinderella”, who came out of the lower classes, literally out of nowhere, and achieved all-Russian fame and extraordinary popularity among different strata of society. At that time, the enlightened public had a demand for acquaintance with folk culture, which, it seems, no one really knew about. This explains the demand not only for A.D. Vyaltseva, but also the Itinerant artists, writers M. Gorky, N.A. Klyuev and others. Having become a fashion legislator in Russian and gypsy romances, she never managed to become a «serious» opera singer, was not accepted by the official musical circles of both capitals, which she had always dreamed of. As quickly as she appeared, she unexpectedly and tragically passed away without having said her last word.
