One of his trademarks is his extremely high pitched falsetto, which has enchanted his audience and has contributed to his popularity. Because of the operatic use of Vitas’ voice, combined with his dance / folk like music, his style can be characterized as popera or pop opera.
Vitas has achieved much notablity through Russian television, and since 2005 his career has advanced into Asian markets. He has signed with entertainment labels such as Universal which distributes his music in Taiwan, and he has toured extensively in China and several other countries. He has performed duets with many other singers including Demis Roussos, Lucio Dalla, and Vitas’ grandfather Arkadiy Davydovich Marantsman (Аркадий Давыдович Маранцман), with whom he sings “Friendship”.
History / career
Vitas became notable in Russia in December 2000 with hit Opera No. 2, which was notable for use of Vitas’ surprisingly high-pitched and energetic use of falsetto.
His concert program Philosophy of Miracle premiered at the State Kremlin Palace on 29 March 2002, establishing a record for Vitas as the youngest artist ever to perform a solo concert at this prestigious venue. A DVD of this concert was released. He also presented his fashion collection “Autumn Dreams” on the stage of the State Kremlin Palace in 29 September 2002.
Vitas received an invitation from Lucio Dalla, the composer, who created “Caruso”, to perform this song together with the author at the concert “San Remo in Moscow” held in the State Kremlin Palace in 2003. Vitas’ voice enchanted not only the audience but Mr. Dalla himself, so the composer invited Vitas to come to Rome to take part in the rehearsals of “Toska”, the modern version of the legendary opera.
Vitas presented his second solo program “The Songs of My Mother” in the Rossia Concert Hall, Moscow in November 2003. Two albums: “The Songs of My Mother” and “Mama” of the artist were released for the premiere. The album “The Songs of My Mother” included the songs which are considered to be the gold reserves of Russian pop-music. Another album “Mama” included several new songs composed by Vitas. The two albums were a dedication to his mother who died in 2001. In 2003, he gave 264 solo concerts in places including Russia, Australia, Canada, Israel, Germany, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Georgia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Belarus.
Vitas also starred in a murder mystery television series called “Beloved Scoundrel” in English, and “Сволочь ненаглядная” in Russian in which he played (appropriately) a pop singer with an unusually high voice. He also starred in a comedy called Crazy Day.

The lyrics of Vitas's song, Lucia Di Lammermoor, are in Italian and are based on the famous opera written by Gaetano Donizetti. The lyrics describe the main character, Lucia, hearing the beautiful and soothing voice of her lover, Edgardo, which leaves an unforgettable impression on her heart. The song captures Lucia's emotional state, as she has just killed her husband during a fit of madness, and reveals her deep love for Edgardo despite her actions. The lyrics end with Lucia expressing her desire to run away from her enemies with Edgardo by her side.
The song is an emotional rollercoaster that takes listeners on a journey through Lucia's complex emotions. Vitas's interpretation of the song captures the passionate intensity of Lucia's character, drawing listeners in with his dramatic and powerful vocal abilities. The use of the Italian language adds to the song's lyrical beauty, as each word is perfectly crafted to express Lucia's deep love and sorrow.
