23!!!
The orchestra is the “Orquesta de Barcelona y Nacional de Cataluña”. The orchestra is known for making some terrible choices in the last years and only hiring women (some of them clearly underprepared) for its associated positions (inc. assistant conductors). Part of their woke politics.
By the way, that is the same reason that made Liceu engage Alondra de la Parra for Turandot, who was booed by part of the patrons at the end of the opera.
Is it the same orchestra that Pablo Casals used to conduct?
