A New & Improved Course for the Kirov

OK, so does this mean that Mr. Gergiev does not really call the shots at the Mariinsky? If even he has to use "personal intervention" to see that some of these artists are being showcased? One would think if the administration were making the wrong choices about which artistes were benched, the director would be part of that administration.
