Pinchas Steinberg’s baton obtains from the orchestra its best virtues: ductility, commitment, sense of ensemble, all in a joyful interpretation that shows, once again, how the pit reacts to the spirit and expertise of a director who really has something to say.
The public received this novelty with what soon changed from mere attention to respect, then appreciation, to end in an enthusiasm awarding those responsible for such an unexpected gift.
The outstanding musical version fits like a glove to the scenic conception by Willy Decker.
