After causing the cancellation of a Valentina Lisitsa concert at La Fenice and Sergej Polunin’s Rasputin in Milan, anti-Putin activists are turning their attention to the pianist Denis Matsuev.

After his friend Valery Gergiev, Matsuev is the musician closest to the Russian President.

Activists in Genoa have issued a petition to have his next concert banned.

Despite these isolated successes, Italian activists have made no impact at all against Anna Netrebko and other singers who continue to bask in limelight at La Scala, Verona, Arezzo and elsewhere.
