Opera Chic has long been a fan of the wonderful Nancy Kovack: today's Los Angeles Times interviews her conductor husband, Zubin Mehta. Nancy's husband (our favorite Yiddish-speaking Zoroastrian) has great anecdotes about his 46 years of work with the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, and -- from the patio of his Brentwood mansion -- gives an interesting insight into a world-travelling condcutor's life:
"I arrived yesterday from Tokyo, I'm going tomorrow to Florence, and I thought Los Angeles is on the way. Two days in my home is my rejuvenation process."
Holy First Class Lounge, Batman!
