Florence Illi

Florence Illy is the muse and widow of Russian folk artist Dmitri Hvorostovsky. For many years, the woman inspired the talented husband and supported his endeavors, forgetting about his own career.

Florence was born in Geneva on July 24, 1970. Illy was born in Switzerland, but her parents were natives of other countries. The girl mixed the blood of a temperamental Italian and a sophisticated Frenchman. Already in adulthood in an interview Florence noted that, judging by the character, she inherited more from her mother.

As a child, Illy received an excellent education and took her first steps in the field of art, studying music. By the time she met Dmitri Hvorostovsky, she was an aspiring opera actress and pianist.

Florence and Dmitri met in 1999 on the stage of the Geneva Opera due to a production in which both artists were involved. Performers fell in love at first sight. The mighty baritone Hvorostovsky led Florence to amazement, and Dmitry was amazed by the beauty of the girl.

Dmitri Hvorostovsky was married to ballerina Svetlana Ivanova at the time. Marriage did not become happy, and the singer went through a difficult period, as he caught his wife in treason. Divorce was protracted: his wife did not want to let Dmitry go, especially since they had three children together. The official separation of the couple took place in 2001.

Florence inspired Hvorostovsky, changing his personal life for the better and motivating him to make new creative achievements. The novel developed rapidly. The lovers were always together. Illy regularly accompanied Dmitri on tour and forgot about her own creative realization.

At first, relatives of the singer did not accept his chosen one, but eventually she gained the trust of her beloved grandmother, and then other close people. Florence learned Russian. In 2003, the couple had their first child Maxim, and four years later the daughter Nina was born. The family lived in a private apartment in London.

In 2015, when the famous opera performer was diagnosed with a malignant tumor of the hypothalamus, Florence was there. Treating the disease was pointless, as the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Hvorostovsky's condition deteriorated rapidly, but he did not interrupt the performances. Illy supported her husband and gave hope. She tried to protect her husband from the attention of obsessive journalists.

When the fake news about the artist's death appeared in the media, Florence was beside herself and cursed the representatives of all publications who speculated on this topic.

In her youth, Florence was a member of the troupe of the Grand Theatre of Geneva, one of the largest cultural centers in Switzerland. She met her future husband while working on the production of Don Giovanni. Dmitri played the main role, while Illy embodied on stage the image of one of the passions of the legendary Loelas. The couple's first kiss occurred during the performance.

The creative biography of Florence Illy did not develop fully. Forgetting about the career of the singer, the woman devoted herself to her husband, maintaining the family hearth and participating in Hvorostovsky's projects. Periodically they found themselves on the same stage, and then the audience had the opportunity to discover the wife of a famous artist in a new capacity.

In 2008, Florence was invited to cooperate representatives of Russian cinema. The artist played a supporting role in the TV series "Heavy Sand". The heroine turned out to be a copy of the singer. On the screen, Illy appeared as the Italian prima donna Isabel Benedetti, the wife of a Russian musician.

At this film career the singer ended. Being married to Hvorostovsky, she did not think about its renewal. After the death of her husband, the woman believed that time was irretrievably lost and at her age it was too late to start from scratch.

Before his death, Dmitri Hvorostovsky bequeathed to his wife to live for himself and children. Florence fulfills this promise. She continues the projects created by her husband, and pays attention not only to children, but also to the singer's family. Illy often comes with the children to the house of Hvorostovsky's parents, so that they communicate with their grandchildren. Because of old age, it is difficult to get out abroad on their own.

Florence participates in concerts, charity events and remembrance evenings dedicated to her husband. Stars like Ildar Abdrazakov, Anna Netrebko, Yusif Eyvazov and other performers take part in them. The money received for this is transferred to Rusfund in favor of Russian children in need of urgent treatment. In 2018, Illy participated in the program "Direct Air" by Andrei Malakhov, giving an interview about his late wife.

In 2020, Florence lives in two countries, often coming to Russia. She travels a lot with friends and family. Illy keeps fit by playing sports, but the height and weight of women remain unknown. She manages to be a noble woman after the death of her husband, worthy of the memory of her husband. Florence does not plan to seek attention from the stronger sex, leaving it to the will of fate.

Illy has personal social media accounts on Instagram and Facebook. Publishing photos in profiles, she lovingly and in awe remembers her husband, communicates with fans of his work.
