Vereshchagin took these productions on tour to Estonia at the Brigitta Festival, to Moldova’s Maria Biesu Opera and Ballet Festival, and to the Brucknerfest in Austria.
His repertoire includes operas of many epochs, from Baroque to modern: Telemann’s Pimpinone; Albert Lortzing’s Zar und Zimmermann; Tchaikovsky’s The Empress's Slippers (Cherevichki); Vladimir Rebikov’s The Gentry’s Nest; Alexander Tchaikovsky’s The Violist Danilov; Grigori Fried’s The Diary of Anne Frank, and others.
More recently, Vereshchagin’s repertoire has expanded to include: Benjamin Britten’s The Little Sweep; Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos; Rimsky-Korsakov’s Servilia; the Mozart operas Don Giovanni, Der Schauspieldirektor (The Impresario); and The Magic Flute; and Puccini’s Il tabarro (The Cloak).
In 2014, he conducted a performance of Sergei Taneyev’s Cantata Saint John of Damascus by the Moscow Philharmonic Academic Symphony Orchestra and the Sveshnikov Russian State Academic Choir. In the same year, he conducted a gala-concert performance of Stravinsky’s Mavra as part of the «December Evenings» Music Festival in connection with his award at the First All-Russian Music Competition.
Starting from September 2018 Alexey Vereshchagin became the conductor of the Bolshoi Theatre. Also he will be conductor-restoration of the opera «The Fair at Sorochyntsi» by M. Mussorgsky. The premier will be on the 22nd of September on the Chamber stage of the Bolshoi Theatre.
