Valery Gergiev builds concert hall in his home town
NewsIt has emerged that the all-poweful chief of the Bolshoi and the Mariinsky has ordered a 500-seat concert hall in his home town of Vladikavkaz, in northern Ossetia. The hall was constructed in an abandoned cinema building in less than a year, paid for by the Valery Gergiev Foundation (a new entity) and two Kremlin-friendly banks.
The Marrinsky soloist Ildar Abdrazakov flew in for the opening concert.
