Shortly after the dismissal of the former manager Boris Mezdrich, Novosibirsk Opera got a new director, Vladimir Kehman. Mezdrich was fired after the Russian Orthodox Church and some activists reacted negatively to the staging of Wagner’s Tannhäuser directed by Timothy Kulyabin. Now, Kehman himself came under criticism. A group of employees wrote a petition to dismiss the newly appointed manager as they are not satisfied both with the costly renovation of the theatre and the repertoire. The protesters reproach Kehman with a lack of coherent artistic ideas and they are worried because of the absence of any serious planning for the next season.
