Iranian conductor Rahbari returns to Russia for 18th time

Iranian maestro Ali (Alexander) Rahbari will perform in Saint Petersburg, Russia, for the 18th time. Rahbari will lead the Mariinsky Opera in a concert titled ‘Transfigured Night.’
The concert, taking place on July 18, marks the conclusion of Rahbari’s third
artistic season with the Mariinsky Opera, with next year’s concerts already fully planned, ISNA wrote.
‘Transfigured Night’ will feature a program of early 20th-century masterpieces, including Arnold Schoenberg’s ‘Verklärte Nacht,’ Edward Grieg’s ‘Peer Gynt Suite,’ Claude Debussy’s ‘L’après-midi d’un faune,’ and Maurice Ravel’s ‘Daphnis et Chloé’ and ‘Boléro.’
Rahbari was appointed by the Artistic and General Director of the Mariinsky Theatre, Valery Gergiev, in July to conduct 10 performances.
In the upcoming artistic season, Rahbari will also be conducting six symphony orchestras in China, including Beijing, in addition to his various international performances.
