The Ukrainian will be the first woman to become the theatre's chief conductor in Italy. The theatre has been looking for a chief conductor and chief artistic director for 3 years.
Once again, I have the honour and responsibility to become the first woman in Italy to be invited to become the musical director of one of the most important state theatres - a country where classical music has an extraordinary history that is felt in every corner and is an integral part of national culture.
