After the new opera “Madama Butterfly” written by Puccini, who was the favourite composer of the audience, was booed, Krushelnytska agreed to sing in its new edition. Her voice and acting made the opera one of the best operas in the world.<\/p>\n She confidently drove a car and refused to marry for the sake of a career, challenging the world’s gender canons.<\/p>\n She proved that being Ukrainian is cool, proudly emphasizing her nationality every time and everywhere.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n
