Opera star declares for Putin
OperaA partial list was issued yesterday of the 700 supporters Vladimir Putin needs to launch his election campaign. Prominent among them were the usual music suspects Valery Gergiev, Yuri Bashmet and Hibla Herzmava.
An unexpected addition at the head of the list, alphabetically at least, is the international operatic bass Ildar Abdrazakov. He’s due to sing with Muti in Ravenna this Thursday and at the Paris Bastille in February.
He may just have burned his boats.
