Petrenko is of Jewish decent.〔(Kirill Petrenko the surprise successor to Simon Rattle at Berlin Philharmonic ), The Times (22 June 2015)〕 His father was born in Lviv (now in Ukraine). Petrenko studied piano as a youth, and made his public debut as a pianist at age 11. At age 18, he and his family emigrated to Austria, where his father played in the Vorarlberg Symphony. Petrenko formally studied music at the 'Vorarlberger Landeskonservatorium in Feldkirch, Vorarlberg, graduating with honours in piano studies. He continued his musical studies in Vienna at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna, where his teachers included Uroš Lajovic. His other conducting teachers and mentors have included Myung-Whun Chung, Edward Downes, Péter Eötvös and Semyon Bychkov. Petrenko made his conducting debut in opera in 1995 in Vorarlberg with a production of Benjamin Britten's ''Let's Make an Opera''. He was a Kapellmeister at the Vienna Volksoper from 1997 to 1999. From 1999 to 2002, he was Generalmusikdirektor of the Südthüringisches Staatstheater, Das Meininger Theater (Meiningen, Germany), where his work included conducting the four operas of Richard Wagner's ''Der Ring des Nibelungen'' in 2001 on four consecutive days, his first professional conducting engagement with the operas of Wagner. Petrenko was Generalmusikdirektor of the Komische Oper Berlin from 2002 to 2007. During this period he made his (2003) debut with the Bavarian State Opera, and he returned to the Munich company in 2009 for a production of ''Jenůfa''. In October 2010, the Bavarian State Opera announced the appointment of Petrenko as its next ''Generalmusikdirektor'' (GMD), starting in 2013. In October 2015, his contract as GMD of the Bavarian State Opera, previously set through 2018, was extended through the 2020-2021 season, although for the final year of his contract, he is scheduled to appear as a guest conductor. Petrenko first guest-conducted the Berlin Philharmonic in 2006, and returned for guest engagements in 2009 and 2012. He had been scheduled for a December 2014 guest appearance with the orchestra, but withdrew at short notice because of injury. In June 2015, the Berlin Philharmonic announced the election of Petrenko as its next chief conductor.〔 This appointment marks Petrenko's first chief conductorship of a symphony orchestra which is not affiliated with an opera company. The official start of his Berlin Philharmonic tenure was not indicated at the time of the election, except for a comment by Berlin Philharmonic ''Intendant'' Martin Hoffmann that "We are assuming that it will happen soon after 2018".〔 In October 2015, the orchestra announced that Petrenko is formally to commence his contract as chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic in the 2019-2020 season, with scheduled guest appearances in the seasons prior to 2019-2020.〔 During the 2014 Crimean crisis, Petrenko called for a solution that would respect Ukraine's sovereignty.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kirill Petrenko」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
