ENO’s new music director takes second job in New Zealand

ENO’s new music director takes second job in New Zealand

This ought to be an easy commute, right?

And if something goes wrong in London or Auckland, Ridder will be right there to put it right.

ENO should terminate his contract before they look like a total shambles.

And good Ridder.
