Two Hundred Scores, Twelve Nights: Portfolio Management

0:00 / 10:44

The Story

Two hundred scores on the general director's desk. Twelve nights in the calendar. The math doesn't work — and it never will. That's not a problem to be solved; that's the job. This episode is about the desk that matters more than the stage: why a house can produce every opera flawlessly and still fail, what separates a project from a program from a portfolio, and why the most important list in the building is the list of what does not get played.
