Munich nails ballet chief til 2026
mainMunich Ballet Director Igor Zelensky today signed a five-year extension of his contract until summer 2026 in the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts.
With Gergiev at the Philharmonic that’s two Mariinsky men in control of Munich’s performing arts.
Was he responsible for desecrating Verdi by replacing (or at least aiding and abetting the producer by choreographing) the ballet music with techno music in their recent Regietrash production of “Les vĂªpres siciliennes”?
Nonsense! Responesible for the choreography was a dancer named Dustin Klein.
