Tip-off: Woman rising on the Rhine
OperaLe Figaro reports that the Opéra national du Rhin in Strasbourg has chosen its next director.
Chrysoline Dupont is presently production director at the Opera Comique in Paris.
She will succeed Alain Perroux, who is off to run the Grand Théâtre de Genève.
Perroux without much money has done a decent job in Strasbourg, whereas big-budget GTG has programmed badly — Marc Minkowski in Verdi? just awful — and left hundreds of seats empty for dozens of performances.
