About Opus

The singer's musical career began in the construction battalion in Riga. There the local commander selected the most talented in the musical plan of the conscripts. Imant Vazovich was one of them. The first collective, with whom he began to perform, was "Zvaygznite". It was during this period that the musician gets acquainted with Sigmar Liepins, who in the future will play an important role in his musical career.

Popularity to Imanta came after service in the army. He began performing in the Opus group, where he was soloed by Mirdza Zivere. The head of this ensemble was Zigmar Liepins. In 1984, the song "We Need to Think" received an all-Union prize at the festival "Song of the Year". This hit was sung absolutely by all the inhabitants of the USSR. Tickets for the concert of the band were sold out in a matter of minutes.

The first Latvians studying at GITIS were Mirdza Zivere and Imant Vazovich. Biography of the singer after the 80's changed. After a few years after the foundation of the VIA Opus disintegrated. The group disappeared from TV screens and radio stations forever. What is the reason?

The artists said that they were just very tired of wandering around the cities and hotels. In fact from all calendar year they managed to stay at home from force of 1-2 months. But each of them had his own private life. In addition, the group toured for pennies. They did not have connections to give "left" concerts. And over time, both Mirdza and Imant realized that singing songs is not their thing. Directing - this is what both former students of GITIS are doing now. In this university they studied at the directing department, not for nothing!

What after Opus?

Already in the 90 years Imant Vanzovich tried to return to the world scene. He even performed several songs with Ugis Praulinsh. But these songs were too philosophical, full of thoughts and ideas. At that time, the people did not need it. Therefore, the singer decides to finally put a cross on his career as a singer.

Beginning in the 2000s, Vazovic successfully put on water-music shows. And it's not bad at all. Today he officially represents the French firm Aquqtique show, which has long since reached the world level.

A little bit about personal

Imant Vazovich was married several times. His first wife is a musicologist. Today she works as a radio director in Latvia. The second, Inguna, together with Imant put water-music shows. They have a joint child.
