La Scala’s Next Music Director Is Chail- — No, Wait, It’s Luisi (Maybe)

Last week the opera house’s incoming superintendent leaked to Corriere della sera that Riccardo Chailly would become music director there when the incumbent, Daniel Bareboim, departs in 2017. Chailly then responded that nothing was settled at all. Now someone else (evidently an orchestra member) has told La Repubblica that Fabio Luisi is the preferred candidate.
