Ann Williams Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Not surprisingly, this http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/may/11/antonio-pappano-interview-elitist-label-tiresome-opera-visceral fairly lengthy Observer Q & A yesterday with Sir Antonio Pappano, the ROH’s musical director, didn’t make it into today’s links - it doesn’t contain a single reference to ballet, or even, indeed, mention the word at all. To be fair, Sir A probably had no editorial control over the piece and, true, it’s purpose was to support an upcoming concert by the Orchestra & Chorus of Santa Cecilia in Symphony Hall Birmingham. Still, it gives the unfortunate impression that the Opera House is for opera only and that opera is SirAnthony’s only interest, and that, as we know, is far from the truth.
