Berlin wobbles over next baton
OperaSubscribers of the Berlin State Opera are being kept waiting for a glimpse of Daniel Barenboim’s successor.
There were no clues at yesterday’s seasonn rollout. The favoured candidate, Christian Thielemann, will conduct just once – a Bruckner concert. Barenboim himself is still down to conduct a Brahms cycle on a November US tour. Seven women conductors are listed, led by Joana Mallwitz, Elim Chan, Marie Jacquot and Simone Young.
The ultimate decision will rest in the hands of a new intendant, Elisabeth Sobotka (pic).
