An exclusive "year in the life" look at one of the leading conductors of our time on the go: rehearsal excerpts and performance sequences are interspersed with the Maestro's myriad activities in London, New York, and St. Petersburg. In cinema verité style, the camera captures his process and interactions with musicians to illuminate his rehearsal strategy and technique.
Valery Gergiev is widely acclaimed as one of the leading conductors of our time. Currently director of the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg, he also holds posts at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Rotterdam Orchestra, among others.
Proceeding on several levels simultaneously, this performance-documentary allows viewers to know and understand Gergiev the man in order to better appreciate the brilliance of Gergiev the conductor.
