Yeah, Pappano and Castellucci were household names when their careers were launched in/by Brussels.
Familiarity sometimes makes one aware of the virtues of someone that might otherwise be overlooked. Ono is very good and I doubt Brussels would hire a de la Parra simply because she were familiar.
Ono has been chief conductor at Barcelona Symphony for many years, not leaving a particular trace. But it is more fault of disastrous management team of L’Auditori, the actual even worse than the precedent.
