Theatre and opera director Timofey Kulyabin is one of the most talented Russian directors of the last decade. He is a winner of many international awards, including two Golden Mask Awards for "Production of the Year" (Onegin and Three Sisters) and two nominations (Macbeth and KILL). In his home theater Red Torch in Novosibirsk (principal director since 2015) he has created a number of productions representing a bold interpretation of classical texts by Chekhov, Ibsen, Gogol, Pushkin, Lermontov and others. He regularly collaborates with drama theaters in Munich, Zurich, Berlin, Riga, St. Petersburg, Moscow and now Prague. He made his debut as an opera director in 2009 with the production of Prince Igor at the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theater, where in 2014 he also staged Wagner's Tannhäuser. The production resulted in a political scandal sparked by local Russian Orthodox church officials, and had to be withdrawn from the repertoire after four performances. Nevertheless, the production won the Audience Award. He staged Don Pasquale (2016) and Rusalka (2019) at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, Rigoletto at Wuppertal´s Opera ((2017) and the double title Wedding / Oedipus Rex (2019). Franz Schreker's opera The Distant Sound will be his directorial debut at the National Theater. This year he is also preparing a performance of Macbeth at the Schauspiel Frankfurt, the premiere of Chekhov's Platonov at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin and a project with Ingeborg Dapkunaite and John Malkovich at the Daile Theater in Riga.
