Abdalova was born on 19 June 1941 in the Soviet Union.
She graduated from GITIS, where she was a student of Maria Maksakova Sr., Abdalova's mezzo-soprano is distinguished by a low, warm, rich timbre.[2]
After an unsuccessful attempt to enter the Bolshoi Theater, she was accepted into the Operetta Theater.
For a long time she sang in the orchestra with Leonid Utesov and worked in the Moscow Concert.[2][3]
Personal life[edit]
From 1966 to 1976, she was married to Lev Leshchenko.[4] The marriage lasted 10 years, and ended in divorce, initiated by Abdalova.
After the divorce from Leshchenko, she did not get remarried, and had no children. Her quality of life rapidly declined due to loneliness and bad habits. Despite this, she refused assistance from Leshenko.[4]
As of 2015, Abdalova retired, left her Moscow apartment, and lives with her relatives in the village.[4][5]
