- Dmitry, since the beginning of October you live in non-stop mode: 20 performances per month plus shooting. How is this possible?
"I can say that much worse when this is not." Can you imagine how much in our country the unemployed and none of the necessary actors? When we have work - 20 performances or 10, 15 shooting days or 25 is happiness. And if you are busy "from" and "to", then you are not thinking about how to stand it. The road is asset going. Of course, I can say for a long time that I am watching health. I have no right to root, because at the music theater you will not get to the scene. I follow the physical exertion and try not once again not to raise my voice, because in the "Ghost Opera" I have not only a serious dramatic role - this is also the most appropriate vocal material. Even in the physical plane it is not easy: my ghost is constantly moving in space - it appears under the ceiling, then falls under the scene ...
- But many do not imagine their life without days off. When did you resist for the last time?
- The Twelfth February. Due to a wonderful event: Wife (Natalia Bystrov. - Ed.) The premiere took place - after maternity leave, she returned to the musical "Beauty and the Beast". In general, I do not live in the traditional chart: 5 business days and 2 days off. Sometimes it turns out to break every month. In a difficult period - October, November, December and January - the day off every two months. But you do not need to forget that I play performances in the evening. And up to 4 days I am free: I can go to samples or filmed into a movie. Such a regime is not as terrible as many represent.
- You and your spouse besides the fact that the demanded actors are still young parents. How do you cope?
- Absolutely the same as the rest. There is a sore situation in life. A single mother needs to ask how it copes. How do you have time to do and work, and cook, and follow the house? And on our part, it is difficult to say that it is hard, coquetry. In addition, Mom Natasha, my beloved mother-in-law, while she moved to us on permanent residence. (Laughs.) It would be difficult without her help, because I work very tightly, and Natasha should not sit at home, sacrificing acting. In our profession you need to use every chance - especially when it is given to you. We will not be able to do not be without a musical, without the theater of this level, which offers the company "Stage Enterteint". I think the actor can consider himself implemented if he received at least one role in a similar project.

- They say your son Elisha was born a few days after the premiere of the "Ghost Opera"?
- It's true: three days later.
- How did you withstand the colossal moral tension: daily rehearsals and preparation for the premiere, pregnant wife, and also repairs in the apartment?
- I could not stand ... Exactly a week before the premiere lost his voice. And, unfortunately, she was not playing. I confess: it was hurt. Of course, I was worried about the premiere, I understood what level and what scale this performance, what role I got. Maybe nerves, maybe a cold - in general, I completely refused my voice. Accident. The disease came not on time.
- How did your hands fall after what happened?
- I thought a lot about it: "Why?!" You know, the actor is easy to hurt, bite, criticize ... We are all susceptible, we have a constancy. But at that moment I realized how many people love me, appreciate and respected. My phone and social networks simply exploded from the words of support. And it was not only fans. The director, and producer, and troupe helped me. Artist playing this role with me very correctly. And I set up myself: the premiere is not the most important thing in life. It was not a loss.
- When did you sit at the premiere in the auditorium, the tears got tired?
- No, absolutely, believe me! I supported me a lot of people on this day. In fact, I did not deprive me. The only thing at that moment I only prayed for one thing: to return my voice. Let I go on stage after 10 days or a month, but that this happens.

- And when first took the son of the Son - did not cry either?
- I was so tired ... I was present in childbirth. The contractions began at eleven in the evening, and the Son was born without five days. Births were long, all this time I was in the ward and was concentrated only on the help of my wife, listened to the heartbeat, prayed. So calm, as in childbirth, I have never been.
- Maybe your calm and helped his wife ...
- Quite possible. I am a very impulsive, hot-tempered and emotional man. And here I hid all emotions and gave my hand to Natasha. And when I took my son in my arms, I began to consider who he looked at. He was a copy of my testing. I was even a little shocked: I seem to keep my son, but in my hands there is a father-in-law. (Laughs.) Four and a half months have passed, and now friends say that the son is poured. But I believe that Elisha has Natasha features.
- You got married with Natalia in 2013. How did you decide in the first year of marriage and give birth, and buy an apartment, and equip it?
- We just lived. I will reveal the secret: Even before the marriage, each of us bought yourself around the apartment. But I led the family to my corner. And we are glad to have what we have.
- They say to avoid scandals during repairs, you taught everything yourself?
- Absolutely right. My friend Andrei Frolov (he starred in the TV shows) I said: "You know, my friend, I almost did not divorce while repairing." And after the first selection of wallpaper, I decided that I take everything on myself. Honestly, I scrupulously approached the question and did everything myself - from the design to the choice of materials.
- Spouse appreciated your efforts?
- Sure. She trusts my taste. Natasha tells everyone that her husband is both the director, and the agent, and the stylist, and the lawyer, and so on. While I do with the task. (Laughs.)
- With Natalia, you played several musicals. Would you like to go to the scene together?
- And I think it is inevitable. We just started, for 30 years to us. We still have a lot of long and creative, and personal life.
