Becoming an artist

Valeriy Rozhdestvensky is a Ukrainian theater and film actor, whose childhood was spent in Kyiv. Valeriy’s father, Vsevolod Petrovich, is a composer by profession and vocation and worked as the head of the music department at the Ivan Franko Theater. His mother, Lyudmila, sang in the choir of the Kyiv National Opera for a long time. Valeriy himself was a soloist of the Dzvinochok children’s choir for some time and was even fond of boxing. The future star of the big stage graduated from a music school in the capital with honors, majoring in piano. Therefore, naturally, he made a choice in favor of a creative profession.

Rozhdestvensky dreamed of a career as an actor since he was six years old. Paving the way to popularity and recognition, Valery attended the theater studio at the Ivan Franko Theater. After returning from military service in 1988, he entered the institute. He conquered the profession of an actor at the Karpenko-Kary Kyiv State Institute of Theater Arts (Mykhailo Reznikovich's workshop). He graduated with honors in 1992. Thus, his youthful interest in creativity and the world of culture grew into a life's work.

He played in performances of various genres, demonstrating a talent for reincarnation in a variety of images and roles.
