Maestro move: New music director at La Monnaie
mainThe Frenchman Alain Altinoglu has been named chief of the turbulent Brussels opera house.
This has become a game of musical chairs. The last music director, Ludovic Morlot, quit a year ago, since when the post has stood vacant.
Lucky Brussels!
Couldn’t agree more. Excellent conductor and wonderful person.
This is the same company who appointed Mark Wigglesworth and then sacked him before he took up the post after a revolt from the orchestra. I know Wigglesworth has also had form, but it sounds like it might have been six of one and half a dozen of the other.
One more french conductor out of France : mais c’est une véritable manie !!
