Vladimir Urin is now confirmed as the new Director of the Bolshoi Theatre. No finer choice could have been made - he has transformed the Bolshoi's close rival, the Stanislavsky-Danchenko Opera and Ballet theatre, into a world-class operation in every sense. The clear-out at the Bolshoi has already begun. Let's hope that Doven and Fechtengolz resign soon - before it becomes necessary to fire them? Urin's first job as Director will clearly need to be finding a full-time, competent music director, and end the string of second-raters and stand-ins who have held the post since Rozhdestvensky was wrongly removed from the post. Someone who has a world-class reputation as a conductor, who has a mastery of the entire range of opera (and not only the Russian repertoire), and who will program brave and exciting repertoire is clearly needed. There is no need for the new Music Director to be Russian, of course. Kent Nagano is free at the moment? And has established an enviable reputation in Moscow after his guest appearances with the Russian National Orchestra. Of course, there is also Vladimir Jurowsky in contention - half-Russian, half-German, and respected all over the world. Just please let it not be some unknown nitwit from the Russian provinces with the conducting style of a military bandmaster

A boy at my School bore the surname "Uren" - I wonder where it originated?
