Kirill Petrenko
Berlin Philharmonic - Mahler 9
You can't maintain world renown by resting on your laurels because you think you know how music works. Kirill Petrenko and the Berlin Philharmonic will showcase the orchestra's top class with Schumann and Brahms at the season opener.
FAZ (January 09, 2025)Festspielhaus Baden Baden - Madama Butterfly
A stunning interpretation from the orchestra pit. With meticulous attention to detail, the orchestra captured the emotional depth of the score in all its extremes. Exotic timbres, with which Puccini captured the Japanese atmosphere, blended harmoniously with the Western musical language.

Biography
Kirill Petrenko has been chief conductor and artistic director of the Berliner Philharmoniker since the 2019/20 season. Born in Omsk in Siberia, he received his training first in his home town and later in Austria. He established his conducting career in opera with positions at the Meininger Theater and the Komische Oper Berlin. From 2013 to 2020, Kirill Petrenko was general music director of Bayerische Staatsoper. He has also made guest appearances at the world’s leading opera houses, including Wiener Staatsoper, Covent Garden in London, the Opéra national in Paris, the Metropolitan Opera in New York and at the Bayreuth Festival.

Moreover, he has conducted the major international symphony orchestras – in Vienna, Munich, Dresden, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Rome, Chicago, Cleveland and Israel. Since his debut in 2006, a variety of programmatic themes have emerged in his work together with the Berliner Philharmoniker. These include work on the orchestra’s core Classical-Romantic repertoire, most notably with Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony when he took up his post. Unjustly forgotten composers such as Josef Suk and Erich Wolfgang Korngold are another of Kirill Petrenko’s interests. In opera performances with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Richard Strauss’ Die Frau ohne Schatten and Elektra have recently attracted attention.
