The head of the State Duma Committee on Culture, Elena Yampolskaya, following the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation, supported the appointment of Valery Gergiev to the post of general director of the Bolshoi Theater. On her Telegram page, Yampolskaya decided to clarify her position on BT after she was massively “attacked” by journalists.
“(I’m writing) for everyone at once, because the phone is ringing off the hook. I supported the idea of the general management of the Bolshoi and Mariinsky theaters back in March 2022. Valery Gergiev is famous for his energy, there is no doubt that he is capable of additional powers,” the deputy wrote.
“We will watch with interest the artistic course of the Bolshoi under the new leadership,” Yampolskaya emphasized, which is generally consistent with yesterday’s statement by Olga Lyubimova, who promised Gergiev support from the Ministry of Culture.
