Just in: Burchuladze to head St Petersburg theatre
mainWe hear that the great Georgian bass Paata Burchuladze has been appointed artistic director of the Mikhailovsky Theatre in St Petersburg.
He will also sing in some productions.
Burchuladze was recently a presidential candidate in Georgia.
This is not exactly correct – Paata Burchuladze will assume the post of artistic director of the opera company of the Mikhailovsky Theatre in July. The artistic director of the Mikhailovsky Theatre remains Vladimir Kekhman.
