Heine announced his resignation on April 16. As a result, he greatly surprised the leader, but he did not persuade him to stay.

American conductor Gavriel Heine has submitted a letter of resignation from his position as conductor of the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg. Petersburg, where he worked for nearly 15 years. This was reported by the New York Times.

Referring to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Heine said it was “impossible to deny what was happening.” According to him, “Russia is not the place where I want my child to grow up, it is not the place where I want to be”

For the first time on the stage of one of the greatest opera and ballet theaters in St. Petersburg, he performed in 2007. Heine was invited to Russia by the artistic director of the Mariinsky Theater Valery Gergiev, who was a close friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Shortly afterwards, in 2009, the leader’s protégé received an official position on the theater staff.

It was noted that Heine informed Gergiev of his resignation on April 16. As a result, he greatly surprised the leader, but he did not persuade him to stay.

“He shook my hand, hugged me and he greeted me all. And, of course, I thanked him for everything,” the American musician said.

Recall that Metallica is raising money to support Ukrainians affected by the Russian war. The team has already allocated half a million dollars to refugees. The goal is to raise a million dollars.
