Yevgeniya Konstantinova Mravina (February 16, 1864 -October 24 1914) was a Russian soprano and the aunt of conductor Yevgeny Mravinsky. Mravina was noted particularly for roles which required virtuoso singing and conveyed a good deal of her characters' ardent natures. Concerned with the stage presence of her roles, she frequently consulted with N.F. Sazamov, the Alexandrinsky Theater's star actor, on issues of dramatic creativity, and took rhythm and dancing lessons from ballet dancer A.D. Chistayakov. Her best-known parts included Antonida in Mikhail Glinka's opera A Life for the Tsar, Lyudmila in Glinka's Ruslan and Lyudmila, Tatyana in Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin and Oxana in Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Christmas Eve; the last named role was considered expecially suited for Marvina's acting ability, tonal purity and musical intelligence.
