    No substitute, concert cancelled, which shows little respect to people travelling to Regensburg, who have paid accommodation and travel. There are other great(er) tenors out there

    Wow!! This should really stick it to Mainland China! I wouldn’t be surprised if they declare war on the USA are a result of this “deliberatively provocative act of aggression”. Hooray for Hong Kongian democracy!

    He has been a candidate for a number of US music directorships. Congratulations to him.

    Intelligent, musical, creative, engaging, Perry So is a wonderful choice. Any orchestra would be blessed to have him.
