Due to the impact of the covid-19 virus the 2020 Gergiev Festival has been postponed until September 2021. The festival program is subject to change.

Program

conductor Valery Gergiev | soloists Mariinsky Theater | orchestra Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest

Momotenko Madame en Noir (world premiere) |  Sjostakovitsj Suite from ‘The Nose’ for tenor, baritone and orchestra | Sjostakovitsj Symfonie nr.7 Leningrad

It was undoubtedly the greatest crisis in the history of St Petersburg: the siege of Leningrad, which lasted almost two and a half years and claimed the lives of over a million citizens. With his Leningrad Symphony, Shostakovich erected a monument to his beloved and threatened city. That same city forms the ironic backdrop to Gogol’s short story The Nose, on which Shostakovich based his eponymous avant-garde opera.
