Können Operndirektoren eigentlich nur Opernhäuser dirigieren oder auch mal das Orchester?

Not bad, but Toulouse’s recent Carmen tops it: eight performances in ten days with sometimes up to seven replacements on stage, bussed or flown in from all over France including even a certain Michael Fabiano hauled over from Florida.

The biggest shout out and respect to Tobias Hasan and his team, that is really amazing! Bravi tutti!
