OrchestrasThe international singer Ildar Abdrazakov who withdrew recently from western opera engagements was yesterday granted 15.5 million rubles by the Russian Ministry of Culture to sustain his domestic festival.
Ildar has three US concert dates left in his diary:
May 4-6: Boston Symphony Orchestra (conductor Andris Nelsons)
June 23-25: Chicago Symphony Orchestra (conductor Riccardo Muti)
January 30, 2024: Boston Symphony Orchestra concert performance of Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk at Carnegie Hall.
He is also supposed to open La Scala’s next season.
