Neef, 50. is a protege of the late Gerard Mortier, a truly transformative head of the Opéra de Paris.
Official statement here.
Need is far superior to his mentor.
Neef. I hate autocarrot.
Good news for Paris, terrific opera man.
Poor Paris. Six years and – just as his dull time in Toronto – not a single hit. Just lots of stealing others productions. Yawn. Paris, you deserve better.
Not only not a single hit, but also picking wrong music directors.
so far it’s been very poor so nothing to celebrate but the inheritance of disastrous and useless Lissner needs to be considered also
Just imagine the class of Monsieur Gall or Rolf Liebermann – Mortier was also totally overrated
