The heroine of the program is the famous composer Lyudmila Alekseyevna Lyadova, People's Artist of Russia.

Lyadova Lyudmila Alekseyevna was born in Sverdlovsk in a musical artistic family.

As a child, as she herself admits, she was more like a boy and always wanted to be first.

Her artistic career began early, during the war she gave concerts in hospitals, performed for soldiers leaving for the front.

The first real success came to her in 1946, when a new duet came to Moscow: Lyudmila Lyadova and Nina Panteleeva, their performances were highly appreciated then by Leonid Utesov and Isaak Dunaevsky, who even gave the duet his song "Puti-dorogi".

It so happened that after some time the duet broke up and Lyudmila Alekseyevna began to perform alone.

Her personal life was also not easy.

She got married three times and three times was left alone again, each time new music appeared. "I always suffered a lot when I parted.

It seemed to me that my whole life was over.

And at the same time...

I wrote all the best things when I was suffering," says Lyudmila Alekseyevna.

She wrote a large number of romances, classical ballet music, serious piano concertos and many songs precisely when she was sad.

Well, she couldn't be a submissive husband's wife.

She couldn't sit within four walls - endless tours, trips, performances...

She even composed music not at home, sitting at the piano, but on the road or in short hours of rest - while fishing.

Lyudmila Alekseyevna was no longer a young woman, when fate suddenly smiled at her again.

At a rehearsal in the Green Theater, she met a man who was 17 years younger than her.

But it's not about age, but about understanding.

She fell in love, and as it turned out, for life.

They have been together for 30 years.

Where does Lyudmila Lyadova get the strength not only to live a full life, but also to infect others with her energy and optimism?

The secret of her love of life is simple - "the main thing is not to whine, not to think about the bad, to meet only good people and always smile, no matter what happens," as her mother taught her in childhood.
