Yuri Simonov was born in Saratov, studied in Leningrad with Rabinovich and assisted Mravinsky at the
Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra. He made his debut at the Leningrad Conservatoire conducting The Mermaid by Dargomizhsky. In 1968 he was the first Russian conductor to win the Santa Cecilia Conductors’ Competition in Rome. He made his debut at the Bolshoi Opera (Aida) in 1969 and was immediately appointed Chief Conductor (1970 - 85). Highlights of this period included the re-introduction of Wagner to the repertoire and several memorable tours which he led to Paris, Japan, Vienna, New York, Milan and Washington. He also regularly conducted the Leningrad and Moscow Philharmonic and USSR State Orchestra.
