Valentin Uryupin steps into the role of chief conductor of Moscow’s Novaya Opera Theatre at the start of the 2021/22 season.
Founded in 1991 by Yevgeny Kolobov, the Kolobov Novaya Opera Theatre of Moscow is a beloved opera house in the heart of Moscow featuring innovative performances of classical opera repertoire, as well as, increasingly, works from the 20th and 21st centuries.
In appointing the Novaya (“new”) Opera’s new chief conductor, artistic director Anton Getman intends to continue pursuing an ambitious goal of reaching the highest international level. Under the direction of Valentin Uryupin, opera premieres and sophisticated symphonic programs are planned for upcoming seasons.
"I am thrilled to be joining an opera house that has an outstanding reputation as well as its own philosophy, founded by a great conductor, and I eagerly look forward to the creativity and hard work that awaits," Valentin Uryupin shared. "I am fortunate to be able to rely on a very strong team – of conductors, the orchestra, the chorus and soloists. The embers of this theatre are already burning brightly. The task is to raise the temperature even higher. I believe we will do so very soon."
