The soft-soap arts section of the newspaper today posts an interview with Michael Haefliger, who is stepping down next year after 25 years at the head of the hyper-elite Lucerne Festival.

Haefliger, 63, has one more job left in his career.

The second sentence of the puff-piece mentions that he studied violin at Juilliard.

So it’s New York he’s looking at. No secret which job.

    They could surely do worse. But why would he want the job?

  • Save the MET says:

    Plenty of Americans who can take that job. In order to hire him, they legally have to make the case that he has special abilities that no American has.

  • Nick2 says:

    He might consider what happened with Gerard Mortier and his disaster at the City Opera.

  • Roland says:

    maybe he’s made too many enemies this side of the Atlantic?
