The music director of the Metropolitan Opera has been talking to CBC Radio.

‘J’ai un petit secret au Met : en haut de la scène, il y a une magnifique décoration, toute en feuilles d’or, qui est un symbole de la maison. À chaque représentation, j’essaie toujours de trouver une seconde où je peux lever les yeux et la regarder, juste pour bien me pincer et dire “Oui, je suis ici.” Là, je me pince encore plus en me disant “Oui, je suis ici et c’est ma maison.’

‘I have a little secret at the Met: at the top of the stage, there is a magnificent decoration, all in gold leaf, which is a symbol of the house. At each performance, I always try to find a second where I can look up and look at it, just to pinch myself and say, “Yes, I’m here.” There, I pinch myself even more and say, “Yes, I am here and it is my house.’
