New Stars of the Mariinsky Opera Company
A Unique Mariinsky Theatre Programme

The Mariinsky Theatre will be hosting a gala evening of the company's new opera stars. These young artistes, already internationally acclaimed, will be demonstrating their vibrant skills.

Participants in the gala programme include: baritone Alexei Markov, whose deep, velvety timbre enchanted American audiences as Bolkonsky in Sergei Prokofiev's War and Peace, as well as Russian audiences in Alexander Smelkov's The Brothers Karamazov, Giuseppe Verdi's Don Carlo, and Gaetano Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor; commanding bass Alexei Tanovitsky, who is a true master at interpreting extremely complex Wagnerian roles in addition to such colourful roles from the Russian repertoire as Ivan the Terrible in Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's The Maid of Pskov; tenor Sergei Semishkur with his magnificent renditions of the French and Italian repertoires; and sopranos Zhanna Dombrovskaya and Oksana Shilova who dazzled in this season's premiere of Gaetano Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor.
