On Wednesday 17 July the Mariinsky Opera, Chorus and Orchestra will be performing in Riga under the baton of Valery Gergiev.
The Latvian National Opera will be hosting a performance of Rodion Shchedrin’s opera The Enchanted Wanderer for three soloists, chorus and orchestra after the eponymous story by Nikolai Leskov, staged by Alexei Stepanyuk. Riga will be the eighth city where the Mariinsky Theatre has mounted this production on tour; the opera has previously been performed in Moscow, Vilnius, Helsinki, Rotterdam, Paris, Stockholm and Kazan. Over the last six years, the opera has been performed in St Petersburg more than twenty times. In 2010 the Mariinsky label released an audio recording of the opera, which received the Choc award from respected French music magazine Classica and which was named “Opera Choice of the Month” by major British classical music publication BBC Music Magazine.
