Mariinsky at Tide Opera House Inaugural Season

The Tide Opera House located in the Tide and Music Resort of Yanguan county of Jiaxing of Zhejiang province of China presented an all Tchaikovsky programme performed by the Mariinsky Orchestra under the baton of Valery Gergiev on the evening of May 19th.Formerlly Théâtre Éphémère and then Opéra des Nations in Geneva, the wooden structure of the theatre was purchased by Wu Promotion and now sits at its permanent base in Yanguan overlooking the Qiantang River. Though the opera house opened on May 1st with Lang Lang performing with the resident Tide Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Yu Lu, the Mariinsky concert has been viewed as a high profile visit that has put to test the well-acclaimed acoustic of the hall.Future plans of the inangural season are yet to be announced that might include independently produced opera productions.
