And uh-oh about Dyka, since I'm thinking of seeing the Met run in late October....<br /><br />When this <i>Jenufa</i> was done in LA, Conlon conducted - it might be that there are schedule conflicts, but who knows? I can't find anything about Belohlavek's schedule past August. :(Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-75997898665848522782016-06-30T04:48:25.028-07:002016-06-30T04:48:25.028-07:00I don't know if I'd call Bělohlávek the gr...I don't know if I'd call Bělohlávek the greatest conductor in the world, but he's certainly the greatest conductor of this music. I'm fairly surprised he isn't conducting the fall run at the Met. He seems to be Mattila's preferred conductor, and has conducted of her previous Janacek assignments at the Met (as well as the 2009 ONEGIN, where his conducting was the best part of the evening). Of course, David Robertson is great in his own right. I was just surprised.<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughtful comments. I kind of wish Bystrom was singing Jenufa on our coast instead of Dyka, whom I find maddeningly dull onstage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723713850097885124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-48133143970118245192016-06-29T08:13:09.271-07:002016-06-29T08:13:09.271-07:00Oh, yay!

You were quite right about seeing Jenufa for the first time. <br /><br />And lastly, thanks for the Jenufa family tree you posted earlier. That was quite helpful. I've shared with friends who are going to the July 1st performance.
