Provodņiks
Provodņiks in Riga brings you into the musical life surrounding the Latvian National Opera and Ballet. Conductors lead orchestras, singers and productions through operas, ballets, symphonic concerts and gala performances. Their gestures set the tempo, coordinate performers and shape each interpretation. Riga connects this work with classical music and opera.
Mārtiņš Ozoliņš has led Nabucco, Swan Lake, Carmen, The Nutcracker and works by Puccini and Mozart. He has also conducted the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and ensembles in Italy, Georgia and Hong Kong. Aivis Greters has conducted Carmen and Iolanta, worked with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and led the Latvian youth choir Kamēr. Together, these careers extend from Riga to theatres and orchestras across Europe, Asia and beyond. One striking detail is the range of settings, from a grand opera production to a choral symphony directed by a single musical leader.
