ISSUE No.1

Maria performing in Puccini’s La Boheme in Sofia,Bulgaria ~ December 2010

One of Europe’s hottest Opera Sopranos, Maria is competing in the BBC’s ‘Singer Of The World’ Competition in June. She talks about performing, being a mum and what she does to keep fit

OPERA SOPRANO, MUM and AMBASSADOR

Maria Radoeva has wanted to be an opera singer since she was 12 years old. After years of hard training, countless master classes and working her way through the competition, Maria has quickly emerged as one of the leading young opera stars of Europe.

To prove it, she is competing in the BBC’s ‘Singer of the World competition in Cardiff this coming June. Established in 1983, this biennial competition has become known throughout the classical world as the premier showcase for opera and concert singers at the start of their careers. Hundreds of talented young singers from all around the world apply to take part in the competition, hoping to be among the 20 who come to the capital of Wales to represent their country.

Speaking with Maria, she says ‘It’s of course a great honour to be able to represent my country in Cardiff for this world competition. I have only ever wanted to be an opera singer since I was 12 … so my dreams are really starting to come true’.

OPERA SOPRANO, MUM and HOTPANTS AMBASSADOR

‘The best thing about being an opera singer is that the scenery is always changing, a different opera, a new place, all the time, I love it’

Maria isn’t exactly new to world class competitions. She has already won prizes at the Georgi Zlatev-Cherkin competition and the Golden Prize at the 2005 Spring Festival of Arts, Korea. After her operatic debut in Ruse as Zerlina Don Giovanni, she focused on Mozart roles. In December last year she performed as ‘Musseta’ in La Boheme in Sofia, Bulgaria.

After moving to Milan, Italy in 2008, Maria has settled with a family of her own, marrying celebrated conductor Tito Ceccherini with whom she has a son. ‘The best thing about being an opera singer is that the scenery is always changing, a different opera, a new place, all the time, I love it’ she says.

LOSE 2 JEAN SIZES IN 2 WEEKS

Short on time & want to maximiseresults? .. You’re not alone

HotPants help you achieve your goals by giving you more for less

THE EASY WAY

Monday-Sunday for

2 weeks

30 minute run (x3)

60 minute walk (x3)

to work and back

It seems that time is never on our side. Between work, play, friends and family, there is hardly ever a minute to spare. Naturally, we all want to get the most of the time we have for exercise – to get the most out of our workouts. From this desire, HotPants were born.

Needless to say, we were amazed after developing HotPants that when it came to testing with 10 women, they all lost an average of 2 jean sizes in just 2 weeks. Whilst this sounds incredible, the routine to achieve this was not.

10 women exercised three times a week by going for a 30 minute run (whilst wearing HotPants). This was supplemented by 3 x 60 minute walks a week (often to work and back).

At the same time, they ate really what they wanted, including burgers, pastas and carbs – of course this was in moderation. We have included one sample diet below.
