Prague rehires ex-music director
NewsUnlike murderers, conductors seldom return to a blood-soaked scene.
Prague might be an exception.
The National Theatre has just reappointed Rbert Jindra as its next music director. Jindra, 44, first took the job in 2013, only to fall out with the administration the following year.
He has now been reinstated, older and wiser, by an experienced artistic director, the Norwegian Per Boye Hansen.
“Peter Grimes” is one of the greatest operas of the century. Not only is there. Great opportunity for the title character to put his stamp on the title role, but the ensemble that ends act I is remarkable. Then, there are the sea interludes, a brilliant innovation.
Miss a chance to see this masterpiece, and with Jonas? These people need to have their heads examined!
