Afraid of Gerry dumping NYCO?
See if this helps. ``Part of the Wagner family insisted that I assist Nike
Wagner in her possible leadership of the Bayreuth Festival,''
Mortier said in an e-mailed response to a query. ``With their six-
week season (plus rehearsals period), Bayreuth should not affect
my work for the New York City Opera. On the contrary, it could
reinforce the international stature of City Opera.''
Really afraid of Cambreling taking Bayreuth?
Can't help you with that.
