James Conlon quits LA Opera
OperaThe music director has declared he’s had enough after two decades in which the company has stumbled from Placido Domingo sex-pest charges to its present cancellation of new work. No-one can fault Conlon for resigning now.
Conlon, 74, also conducts the RAI National Sympphony Orchestra in Rome. He was once a contender for the Met.
Two women take up the slack in his final LA season – Lina González-Granados and Dalia Stasevska. Either could be the next music director, of they think it’s a job worth having.
