On January 14, the Mariinsky Theatre dedicates the performance of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades staged by Alexei Stepanyuk to the outstanding conductor Maris Jansons (1943–2019). He would have turned 80 that day. To pay tribute to the legendary maestro, Valery Gergiev has brought together an outstanding cast. To see Nazhmiddin Mavlyanov, Ekaterina Semenchuk, Yulia Matochkina, Anna Kiknadze, Edem Umerov, Ariunbaatar Ganbaatar one one stage is quite extraordinary, so the performance will definitely attract opera music connoisseurs from around the world.
That is why it will be possible to watch the performance both in the auditorium of the Mariinsky-2 and online. On January 14, 6 p.m. (UTC+3), the Mariinsky will live broadcast the opera on its official page on VKontakte social media and on Mariinsky.TV. The recording of the performance will also be available for later viewing.
“With this performance, the Mariinsky Theatre would like to honor the memory of Mariss Jansons, an outstanding musician, a brilliant conductor, a great friend of the Mariinsky Theatre, and a citizen of St Petersburg. A man who made a huge contribution to the prosperity of the Russian conducting school. He also conducted with us, at the Mariinsky Theatre, and worked with many of our soloists. His family, his daughter and granddaughters, work at the Mariinsky. I hope such tributes to this outstanding artist and brilliant conductor will become a tradition for the Mariinsky”, said Valery Gergiev.
