Russian lyrical-dramatic tenor (b. 9/21 February 1857 in Nikiforovka, near [[Kazan]]; d. 13 December 1918 in [[Kiev]]), born '''''Nikolay Nikolayevich Figner''''' (Николай Николаевич Фигнер).

After studying in [[Saint Petersburg]] and [[Naples]], he toured widely in Europe and Latin America, before becoming lead tenor at the Mariinsky Theatre in [[Saint Petersburg]] from 1887 to 1907. Here he performed at the premieres of Tchaikovsky's operas ''[[The Queen of Spades]]'' and ''[[Iolanta]]'', in the roles of Herman and Vaudemont respectively. In both cases Tchaikovsky wrote additional numbers at the tenor's request. Figner also gave notable performances as Lensky in '' [[Yevgeny Onegin]]'' and Andrey in ''[[The Oprichnik]]''.

From 1910 to 1915 Figner directed and sang with the ''Narodny Dom'' (Народний дом) opera company in [[Saint Petersburg]].
