Kekhman Protector: The Ministry of Culture did not find the real director of the Novosibirsk Opera

The name of the new director of the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theater remains unknown three weeks before the start of the season. The Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation does not discuss candidacy. Regional managers, artists and officials suggest that Vyacheslav Starodubtsev under Kekhman’s protectorate will continue to manage the theater. An alternative to the appointed acting Carefully call the ex-director of the Philharmonic Tatyana Lyudmilina.

Candidates for the post of director of the Novosibirsk Opera Theater are not discussed publicly, despite the fast start of the season.

“I instructed our profile department and our personnel service, in contact with the theater community, the leadership of the Novosibirsk Region, to choose and submit candidates itself. While the main director is working, it enjoys authority. We are addressing the artists of the theater to his support, this is certainly a plus, but the decision will be made integrated, ”said the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky after Vladimir Kekhman’s statement about his resignation in connection with the case of his bankruptcy.

Accordingto Taiga.info, the Ministry of Culture considers four candidates. Among them there is no deputy director Novat Snezhana Lyubar, who previously replaced Kekhman during his short maternity leave, but there is an acting acting Theater director Director Vyacheslav Starodubtsev. The ex-director of the Novosibirsk Philharmonic Tatyana Lyudmilina is also called in the near-theater circles.

The Ministry of Culture of the Novosibirsk region Taiga.info could not answer whether the ministry takes part in the discussion of the candidates and which ones: Minister Igor Reshetnikov is on vacation, and the spokeswoman does not have information.

The head of the Department of Sports, Culture and Youth Policy of the Novosibirsk City Hall, Anna Tereshkova, told Taiga.info that she was not attracted to the discussion of the candidates, but “according to the sensations, nothing will change: the next season, the acting The director will be Starodubtsev, and Kekhman will steer everyone. ”

At the request to evaluate the probability of appointing Lyudmilina or any other cultural manager, director Novat Tereshkova, director: “No one really heard anything, but I, for example, believe that Lyudmilina is not the worst candidate. She made management in the Philharmonic, and although she has a double attitude to her, I think she is very good. And if the manager is a good artistic director, everything turns out. ”

It was not possible to get the comments of Tatyana Lyudmilina.

The chief opponent of Kekhman in the City Council, deputy Natalia Pinus does not have information.

“Maybe by the end of the week something will be known, but yet not. We tried to think about who could be the director, but I did not have any special ideas. It seems to me that this could be one of the Moscow or St. Petersburg strong leaders who are, but I am not ready to talk about specific surnames, ”said Taiga.info's interlocutor. “And there is information that Kekhman is highly likely to remain in the theater not in a senior position, and will influence his policy.”

Former Director of the Opera Boris Mezdrich told Taiga.info that it is useless to guess about the candidates if "Kekhman intends to attend some form, as he said at the collection of the team."

“I spoke about this in an interview with Medusa: it loses all meaning to be interested in surnames, because anyone is meaningless in the presence of Kekhman, shadow or half -leisure,” Madzricch believes. - The person who will come to this, agreeing to the presence of Kekhman, loses its meaning, and the minister is indirectly about this, but talked. The theater will continue to fall asleep in intellectual and moral terms. It is necessary to solve the main issue: a bankrupt person should not be present in any capacity, as the law requires. ”

The federal Ministry of Culture has not yet decided who would be the director, suggested Madzrich, because he was waiting for Kekhman's statement. “They must receive a firm statement from Kekhman that he leaves, and he sits on vacation, he has accumulated a lot, as is usually the case with directors,” the interlocutor of the editorial office explained. “So he runs away, and then at some point he must say his own.”

Recall that the “new” “impossible” was “impossible” without Kekhman said the current acting The head of the theater of Starodubtsev: “Vladimir Abramovich remains the artistic director of the Mikhailovsky Theater, who all these years provided“ new ”creative and administrative support. Without this organizational and creative alliance, there would be no such advance. I am sure that the managerial qualities of Kekhman will be in demand. ”

The acting I would like to bring "the theater to the world level, so that they know about it not by scandals, but by artists, orchestra and performances."

The new season will open on September 7 by the opera “Love drink” Gaetano Donitnitti, and in May 2018 the premiere “Norms” will be held, where Veronika Gioev will perform in the title party.
