Svetlana Mizeri was born in Moscow in September 1933 in a family far from the acting profession. As a child, she dreamed about the profession of an artist. One day, the parents took the girl to the drama circle, from which it all began.
After graduation, the girl entered the Moscow Art Theater Studio on the course of M. Karev. Immediately after graduating in 1955, she was hired by the Art Theater, on the stage of which she first appeared in the play based on Gorky's "Enemies" in the role of Nadia. However, a year later, Svetlana moved to the Sovremennik Theater. She was remembered by the viewer for the role of Veronica, played in V. Rozov's play "Forever Alive". For several years, Svetlana was the permanent actress of Sovremennik.
Later, she worked for about 20 years at the Mayakovsky Theater: she played in the performances "Irkutsk History", "Children of Vanyushin", "A Streetcar Named Desire." Participation". With her participation, "Pig Knock" and "Provincial Girl" were staged. Misery plays diverse roles, but all her heroines are real women, revealed thanks tolove, faith, trust and high spirituality.
Creative career
Currently, Svetlana Nikolaevna works at the "Complicity" theater and claims that she has been working towards this all her life. She was interested in the search itself, the expression of herself. Working at the Moscow Art Theater, Sovremennik, the Mayakovsky Theater, she gained considerable experience, revealed herself as a character actress, met an impressive number of talented and interesting people. However, she truly felt open, free and easy only here. "Complicity" for her is the standard of the theater, where performances are staged, similar to those that were once: about heroes, their destinies, about real life, real experiences in the absence of vulgarity, pretentiousness and "plasticity" - today you practically don’t see this in other theater productions.
During the existence of Svetlana Mizeri as an actress, she has played more than 50 roles. This is not a lot and not a little - this is as much as the actress herself wanted to play. Misery adheres to the rule: if you have something to say to the viewer, you need to speak. And being guided by other goals is unacceptable for a real artist.
Unplayed roles
Despite her advanced age, the actress believes that there are more roles that she has not played and that lie ahead. She is very impressed by Chekhov. There was a period at the Mayakovsky Theater when Misery was supposed to play the role of Arkadina from The Seagull, but due to the unflattering actions of her colleaguesand some intrigue, the role went to another actress. Since then, Svetlana Nikolaevna has not had a chance to play in Chekhov's plays.
Life Philosophy
Svetlana Mizeri is a believer. Repeatedly she caught herself thinking that all the meanness that a person can commit in life will definitely return to him a hundredfold. Once in her distant youth, she dishonestly acted with her parents and still complains that all the troubles in her life are from short-sighted decisions made in her youth.
The well-known directors with whom Svetlana Nikolaevna worked, repeated to her more than once: "You were born under the red banner." In terms of strength of mind, optimism, faith in justice and goodness, which must necessarily defeat evil, the actress has practically no equal. Especially in the acting environment. A woman believes that if a person has purity in his soul, and tolerance for others in his character, self-esteem - no evil is scary, no damage will take.
Working with young talents
For a long time Svetlana Mizeri has been working with young people at the "Complicity" theater: she gives acting lessons, helps in productions. Young people inspire her to achieve, to great deeds, give strength, energize, admire the stamina, vitality and vigor of the actress. There is a kind of interchange: everyone gets what they aspire to. Svetlana Nikolaevna admits that young people today are spoiled, they don’t want to think, they watch such films in mass distribution, in which there is no philosophy,semantic load. And the theater is a completely different dimension: by attracting young people here, you can bring up a worthy future generation with meaningful views.
In moments of sadness, depression and despair, young colleagues help out their mentor, remind her of herself in her youth, do not let her forget that a person must find happiness in life on his own - primarily thanks to his positive thoughts.
Personal life of Svetlana Nikolaevna Mizeri
The first husband of Svetlana Nikolaevna was Igor Kvasha. Relations with him began from the school bench: they attended a theater group together and entered the Moscow Art Theater together. They got married in their first year and divorced in their second year.
The second husband of the actress was Mikhail Zimin, in marriage with whom the daughter Maria was born - now she is an actress herself. Not so long ago, Maria gave Svetlana Nikolaevna a grandson, whom she named after her father - Mikhail.
Marriage with Zimin also did not become a union for life. For more than 30 years, Misery has been happy with director Igor Mikhailovich Sirenko. Svetlana Mizeri tries to hide her personal life from the public.
