Interview with Alexander Petrov, Stage Director of the opera Le nozze di Figaro
Mozart and de Beaumarchais… Now, this is some kind of almost mystical contemporaneousness. The farther from us the date of 1 May 1786, when Le nozze di Figaro was premiered in Vienna, the more vividly we see the whole range of problems written about by de Beaumarchais and reproduced by Mozart in his musical dramaturgy. The opera becomes, quite simply, our own time…

Interview with Carlus Padrissa, Stage Director of the opera Les Troyens
I think that the opera is a space where the concept of time disappears if the production is able to touch the depths of our souls. It is something that we are duty bound to attempt to do.

Interview with Vladimir Feltsman
The Russian piano school was and remains the best, and I always feel
lucky to have been exposed to it and to have experienced first hand
what it had to offer. Needless to say, I owe an eternal debt to my
teachers – Yevgeny Timakin and Yakov Flier. Russian culture, including
its music and traditions, is vibrant and very dear to me, full of life
and highly charged with emotions and feelings.

Interview with Vladimir Galuzin. “I am happy to be coming to the Mariinsky Theatre, and I will be here yet again in the future”
I sing at the Mariinsky not just because I am contracted to do so.
I believe that it is my main theatre, my base in a creative, musical
and moral sense. I love to meet Petersburg audiences because they are
extremely competent in both drama and musical theatres.
