A new artistic director has been presented to the collective. After the death of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan on November 14, the question of his successor arose. The theater staff themselves decided on the candidacy they would like to see as their artistic director and wrote a letter to the Ministry of Culture with a request to appoint Sergei Gazarov. The troupe's wish was heard. On the website of the city hall of the capital, a message appeared today that the Minister of the Moscow Government, the head of the Department of Culture of the city of Moscow, Alexander Vladimirovich Kibovsky, introduced the new head of the theater.

We have a lot of work to do. And we will do it,”the new artistic director promised. At the same time, Gazarov admitted that it was a shock for him that the theater staff turned to the Ministry of Culture with a proposal for their candidacy. He knows very well that many colleagues consider him too tough a leader. In addition, he never hid the fact that he did not like the performances that he had seen in the theater directed by Armen Borisovich. This means that big changes are coming in the team. The question is whether everyone is ready for them. Photo: instagram.com/vitalinaromanovskaya/
