The chief conductor and musical director of the State Academic Bolshoi Theater Tugan Sokhiev has decided to leave his post, which he has held since 2014. It is reported by Interfax.

Tugan Sokhiev himself wrote an appeal in which he stated that he was also leaving the post of musical director of the National Orchestra of the Capitole of Toulouse.

“Having been forced to face an impossible choice between my favorite Russians and my favorite French musicians, I have decided to step down as Musical Director and Principal Conductor of the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow and step down as Musical Director of the National Orchestra of the Capitole of Toulouse,” he said in a statement published by ClassicalMusicNews. .Ru.

Speaking about his work in the Bolshoi Theater and the musical orchestra of the Capitole of Toulouse, Sokhiev noted that “it was and always will be a great honor for me to know, work together and play music with the artists and musicians of these two amazing groups.”
