Alright, let’s read a few media examples of people having a head start and what they do with it:
1. Seiji Ozawa will relinquish his position as music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra at the close of the 2001-02 Tanglewood season in order to assume the music directorship of the Vienna State Opera. The formal announcement is expected this morning at a press conference by Austria's secretary of state for culture, Peter Whittmann, along with the director of the Vienna State Opera, Ioan Holender.
Ozawa, 63, has served as music director of the BSO since 1973, the longest tenure of any conductor who has held the post. News of his decision reached Symphony Hall late Monday, and it came as a surprise to even his closest associates.
Ozawa is currently touring with the Vienna Philharmonic, which serves as the orchestra for the Vienna State Opera. Last night he was conducting the Philharmonic in Bruckner’s Second Symphony in Baden-Baden, Germany. After the concert he said by telephone: “After all the celebrations of my 25th anniversary in Boston, I knew that the time must one day come to make the decision to leave, but this was not a subject I could discuss with anyone but my wife. I thought that either this September or a year from now I would need to make a decision and an announcement, and then Vienna came out with this very surprising offer. I thought that once I left the Boston Symphony, I would keep only the Saito Kinen Orchestra and Festival in Japan, and guest-conduct elsewhere. I did not want to be a music director again, and would not leave the Boston Symphony for another orchestra. But before I die, I do want to conduct more operas. I am in Boston for three more years and in Vienna for three years beyond that. At my age six years of commitment represents a lot.”
