On the eve of her recital at La Scala, Angela Gheorghiu told the Corriere della Sera what she thinks of Alexander Pereira.
I can’t imagine why he’s done something so bizarre, naive, frankly incomprehensible. On the other hand all opera singers know him as a businessman, nothing more… certainly not an artistic director.
As usual, La Gheorghiu pulls no punches.
For me he’s always been strange. After more than twenty years in this business he is the only artistic director who walks past me without saying hello.
She gave the interview before yesterday’s announcement that Pereira would only be offered a contract for one season.
It’s a pity, with Lissner I could have done something during the coming years, but I don’t think [Pereira] will be much good for the theatre, even if La Scala needs something of a revolution.
