Valery Meladze

Georgian-Russian vocalist Valery Meladze performs at the Mahaffey Theater as part of a highly anticipated return to the United States. Singing entirely in Russian, the established pop and romantic ballad artist delivers material drawn from his decades-long career, which is heavily characterized by sweeping vocal melodies and emotionally charged delivery. Operating without the spectacle of a modern pop arena, Meladze relies on his distinctive timbre and intense stage presence, drawing a deeply devoted international audience that views his catalog as a staple of contemporary Eastern European pop music.
