Primorsky Opera, Vladivostok
With the Primorsky Opera in Vladivostok now being part of the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, it is among General Director Valery Gergiev’s countless duties to engage the responsible people. So he now announced the name of the musical leaders; the post of Principal Conductor has been given to Mariinsky Theatre conductor Pavel Smelkov. The Principal Guest Conductor of the Primorsky Stage is Mariinsky Theatre guest conductor Vladislav Karklin. In other words: total control.
