The General Music Director of the opera and symphony orchestra in Wuppertal, Julia Jones, has given her last performance at the end of a five-year contract.

Jones, 60, has been a trailblazer for women conductors in Germany, earning widespread respect for, as the city mayor put it, her precise beat and direct language.
