Word is going round that the Royal Opera House will name Antonio Pappano’s successor in the next few days.

The frontrunner is the Italian Daniele Rustioni, 39, presently music director at Opéra de Lyon. This weekend, Rustioni upgraded his commitment to the Ulster Orchestra from chief conductor to music director – but only until 2024, which is when the ROH falls vacant.

Other contenders for the post are the Italian Antonello Manacorda and the Englishman Ed Gardner.
