The 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!

    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.
