Aivis Greters appointed Principal Guest Conductor at the Göteborg Opera

The young Latvian conductor Aivis Greters has been appointed as Principal Guest Conductor for the Göteborg Opera from Season 2024/25 until 26/27.

”Aivis Greters is exceptionally gifted and we have already immensely enjoyed his multi-faceted musicality. Therefore it will be fantastic to continue to develop artistically together and to create exciting new experiences with this bright talent,” says Henning Ruhe, Artistic Director, Opera/Drama.

The Göteborg Opera supports the new generation of conductors in several ways. In spring a unique masterclass and concert introduced three up-and-coming student conductors, and in 2022 Aivis Greters was appointed as Assistant Conductor. Besides conducting several different opera and musical performances he conducted the orchestral concert From the New World, featuring works by Bernstein, Dvořák and Copland.

And now he has been appointed as the house’s Principal Guest Conductor, a position which will stretch over the 24/25 and 26/27 seasons.

During the current season Aivis is conducting a broad repertoire at the Göteborg Opera, including the operas Nabucco, Don Giovanni, Der fliegende Holländer and Tosca. During the same period he will debut at the Norwegian Radio Orchestra, Bamberger Symphoniker and Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and will revisit the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra as well as the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
