Rumors that new Dallas Opera general director George Steel has been talking with New York City Opera about the general director's post there are confirmed in an item on Bloomberg.com. But Steel is quoted as saying, "I'm aware of the speculation that I'm a candidate. I'm not interested in the job at New York City Opera." He adds that he's "extremely happy" with the Dallas appointment. The City Opera post is wide open after director-designate Gerard Mortier quit before even taking the job. Steel, who arrived in Dallas only in October, is well-known in New York for his 11 years at the helm of Columbia University's Miller Theatre in New York. And he has said he wants to be the Gerard Mortier of Dallas -- presumably referring to the Belgian impresario's penchant for innovative, even controversial programming, not for leaving a company in the lurch. Whether Steel's talk about highly innovative programming in Dallas makes sense in the current economy is another matter. Comments (1) Leave comment
