Kristjan Jarvi to Make Cincinnati Opera Debut in 2007 Season!
Now this is exciting! Paavo's younger brother, Kristjan Jarvi, founder and director of New York's adventurous contemporary chamber group, The Absolute Ensemble, will make his Cincinnati Opera conducting debut in July 2007. He will conduct Nixon in China by the highly respected American composer John Adams, a frequent guest conductor with the Cincinnati Symphony. Nixon in China, which premiered in 1987, is recognized as one of America's greatest 20th-century operas. Kristjan Järvi will conduct the new St. Louis production by James Robinson. Robert Orth and Maureen O'Flynn star as President and Mrs. Nixon, who make a historic 1972 visit to China to meet Chairman Mao Zedong.
