President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has signed a decree awarding People's Artist of the USSR Tamara Sinyavskaya with the Honorary Diploma of Azerbaijan.

Tamara Sinyavskaya was awarded with the Honorary Diploma of Azerbaijan for her fruitful activity in the field of promotion of Azerbaijani culture, Azernews reports.

The Russian opera singer has performed many solo concerts in the largest concert halls around the world, including the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall in Russia, and the Royal Concertgebouw in the Netherlands.

The singer's concert repertoire includes opera arias, romances, and the most complex works by Sergei Prokofyev, and Pyotr Tchaikovsky.

Tamara Sinyavskaya also performed in a duet with Muslim Magomayev. Their heart-touching love story inspired filmmakers to produce a TV series about one of the most popular celebrity couples of the past.

Sinyavskaya is a laureate of the Lenin Komsomol Prize (1980), People's Artist of the USSR (1982), and People's Artist of Azerbaijan (2002).

On July 5, 2018, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev decreed awarding People's Artist of the USSR and prominent opera singer Tamara Sinyavskaya the Sharaf Order for her long-term and fruitful activities aimed at strengthening the Russian-Azerbaijani cultural ties.
