选出左膀右臂首先,我必须选出自己的左膀右臂。最艰难的选择当然是大都会的艺术总监。前任的艺术总监是弗兰克·莱格,他是指挥家,对歌剧同样很在行,对大都会也了如指掌。我获得了很多相左的建议。公司有几个人私下告诉我,莱格非常招人恨。在我看来,凭这一点就意味着他干这个活儿再合适不过——优秀的艺术总监肯定是不招人待见的,就像我在柏林那样。他必须一再告诫人们不能做想做的事,还要逼他们做不愿意做 First of all, I have to choose my own right arm. The toughest choice of course is the Metropolitan’s artistic director. Frank Legg, the former artistic director, is a conductor who is also good at opera and well known at the metropolis. I got a lot of different suggestions. A few people in the company told me in private, Legg very hate. From my point of view, this alone means that it is right for him to do the job - a good art director is definitely not to be seen, just like I was in Berlin. He must repeatedly warn people not to want to do, but also to force them to do not want to do
