We performed Mozarts "Serail" as a reprise but with a new conductor, who got several rehearsals.
The critic wrote: ".... the strange production & the brave conductor Harry Bicket could not irritate the audience even the conductor showed a strong inclination to Tohuwabohu (Finale) " Sorry, friends, I never read such a review, which perfectly reflects our feelings. He also conducted "Giulio Caesare" & did not even dare a check look if I were on my position for the famous mezzosoprano - solohorn aria, smashed the down beat somewhere else & looked into his score at the applaus. We are used to have world class conductors here in Munich, but that seems to be history already.
