The upcoming television program My Melody is set to debut in Russia on March 17, with the Rossiya channel broadcasting the premiere at 21:30 Moscow time. A distinguished figure in Russian performing arts, People’s Artist of the Russian Federation Nikolai Baskov, will serve as the host for the premiere, adding a layer of prestige to the launch. This information comes from the channel’s official statements as reported by TASS.
According to the Rossiya TV channel, the new music show will feature a unique premise: contestants must listen for their own secret song, a melody that holds significant personal meaning. Each participant will discover only during the moment of performance whether this musical gift has been prepared for them by relatives, friends, or colleagues, creating an emotional and suspenseful reveal for the audience.
Among the lineup of participants are prominent figures from the Russian music and film industries. Composer Alexander Zatsepin, opera singer Ildar Abdrazakov, film director Karen Shakhnazarov, actor Gennady Khazanov, TV presenter Angelina Vovk, and well-known artists Dmitry Malikov, Philip Kirkorov, Igor Nikolaev, as well as Larisa Dolina, are noted as confirmed guests. Their involvement underscores the show’s aim to blend celebrity performance with deeply personal moments, offering viewers both star power and intimate storytelling in each episode.
In related programming news, a separate report indicated that there is no plan for new episodes of the show Let’s Get Married! to air on Channel One in the near future. The production team has signaled that the program will not be returning in the upcoming season, and there are no immediate plans for a new installment of the film project Marriage to be released within the current TV season. These updates were conveyed by a Channel One source with remarks on the network’s current scheduling and slate adjustments. [Citation: TASS]
