The Governor's Symphony Orchestra of St. Petersburg will open the season with a large-scale program of Russian opera classics. The orchestra and five soloists will perform arias, duets, and symphonic fragments by well-known composers. The new season will begin with a grand panorama of the domestic operatic tradition. Under the direction of artistic director and conductor Anton Lubchenko, the Governor's Symphony Orchestra of St. Petersburg will turn to music from different eras - from the founders of Russian opera to 20th-century composers. The program will include arias, duets, and symphonic fragments from the works of Mikhail Glinka, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Dmitri Shostakovich, Rodion Shchedrin, and other authors. Familiar melodies and works that are rarely heard on stage will be featured. Alongside the orchestra, international competition winners will perform: mezzo-soprano Olesya Petrova, sopranos Svetlana Moskalenko and Olga Cheremykh, tenor Simeon Aseev, and bass-baritone Marat Mukhametzyanov. The change of voices and genres will make the program diverse in timbre and emotional tension. We know what to see in St. Petersburg.
