Reports from the pit at the Metropolitan Opera suggest that their music director is putting his own wardrobe ahead of more important musical considerations.

In The Champion, we are told, he’s wearing a boxer’s satin warm-up jacket and pants every night, taking his bow with the hood up or down.

In Bohème he seems to be wearing satin pyjamas (pictured).

The maestro’s costume is more eye-catching than ones on stage.

Does he need to tone it down?
