The Great Conductor Switch!
Tonight was a very exciting performance of Faust. At intermission, as some of us were hanging out in the performer's lounge, Sandy Gavinchuk came to annnounce that Yannick Nezet-Seguin was going to leave the performance to go conduct the TSO... Valery Gergiev's plane was delayed so much that even with the TSO having held the start of their ( Read more... ) -
