Abolishing repetuarnogo theater, inviting foreign soloists - and the operas of manual work Such a statement Currentzis conductor Theodore began the press conference set the tone for a conversation with reporters - In Culture in Russia has the potential to not always sit because of the wrong people in the wrong places can be realized. "Russia -. A magical place where miracles can happen I do not live here because of the conditions of life, as you know, but because of cultural reason only -. Working in Novosibirsk", - said the head. A press conference was dedicated to the purpose Currentzis artistic director of the Perm Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre. Tchaikovsky wrote gazeta.ru. The fact that moving the principal conductor of the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theater, decided to Perm, was announced in early December. Signed a formal agreement with the head last week in Baden-Baden, where Currentzis represented Mozart "tutte" at a local festival. And the first concert of the new artistic director for the 10th Planned February - again Mozart symphony "№" be 40. Choosing a new job Currentzis Theodore explains the presence of like-minded people in Perm, their own dreams with his. "(- Culture Park." Now a great team of BL Boris Milgram, Deputy Prime edge) led collected Perm ". They have a very ambitious plan, if the cultural capital of Perm will be - this should not remain on paper, it must be true, "- said the director Currentzis sure Perm is not behind Moscow and St. Petersburg on the cultural life of metropolis .. in the genre of opera offer a "supermarket" products for people who developed the art, want to consume without thinking, because "many have already purchased a similar product." "It's like a big factory, and they, I think everyone is sick ... But there are people who are interested in "Swan Lake", - he said with a smile. New born artistic director of the Perm Opera hopes to show people a different approach. As planned, the conductor, you must get away from the repertoire theater and show new series. This method, the number of viewers. Moreover, this approach will help to relieve the orchestra. "A normal player can not have a repertoire of 40 operas and 30 ballets" - said the director. It is also planned to every year a few firsts. His entire program is for 4 years: the plan for a shorter time, according Currentzis makes no sense, and in Russia, because nowhere else does. Speaking of musicians. Together with the conductor moved to Perm, and he created in Novosibirsk chamber orchestra Musica Aeterna Ensemble, but the musicians Perm Theater is ready for some kind of re-certification. The conductor will look to May just to them, the selection of those who "know how to play," and then they go to teach, to play with him. Ideally, he wants to get in Perm two orchestras: the theater plans to open the second scene in five years. After Currentzis, fire it was not, all the musicians are ensured high-quality services. "I work for everyone", - he said. But the plans invited conductors, many talented artists Perm. He did not mention specific names, but will mention that. Negotiations are underway with the musicians and soloists from Russia and other countries "You leave Paris and come to Perm, because that's what we do, is the world's first" - shared Currentzis. He said, and their dreams. He expects to do "by hand" - in contrast to the conventional opera houses - and waiting for the moment when the audience is targeted to come from other cities to Perm to look for a new opera. Answering journalists' questions, said Currentzis the situation around the Taganka Theatre and its leader Yuri Lyubimov (he was going because of disagreement with the status of the theater retired), the changes in the artistic fabric - it is good. And his work in Perm he sees it as a continuous change. "We must always be a few steps ahead," - said Currentzis. The arrival of such a large number of stars - not only Currentzis Theodore and his orchestra, but the future invitation directors, musicians and soloists - Perm pay from its budget. However, as I said, was at the press conference, Boris Milgram, they lose hope, to talk to the Federal Ministry of Culture, not only on the guest artists, but also on the construction of the conservatory in Perm. The lack of talent pool in the field of music in place for future work in his speech and Currentzis - as the most important "red", which was waiting for him Perm.
