Gelena Gaskarova is very familar with the Russian and Italian repertoires. Her many appearances at the Mariinsky Theatre led her to sing parts such as Tatiana (Eugene Onegin), Volchov (Sadko), Oxana (The Night before Christmas). She has performed the role of Iolanta under the baton of Valery Gergiev at the Mariinsky in 2009 and in 2010 at the Capitole de Toulouse with Tugan Sokhiev.
