How much presence will that new position require? Could be tricky to combine the two as he’s very present in Santiago.
He does not live in Chile. He lives in Vienna. It shouldn’t a problem because during the summer in Chile he can be in the winter season in Russia.
I know he doesn’t live in Chile but he’s very heavily involved in the whole season.
They have a very good resident conductor, Pedro Pablo Prudencio, who rehearse for Chudovsky a lot, not to mention Prudencio does the job better. The production of Berg’s Lulu with Prudencio this year was a great success.
I know, PPP is absolutely superb. Lulu was a stunning success.
Chudovsky left Chile in early 2019. Personally, I will miss him. His conduction of Russian Operas and, Schostakovich made me love even more Russian music. I wish him the best in his home country.
