While he has just published a book of interviews with Antoine Boulay (Marc Minkowski – Chef d’orchestre ou centaure, Séguier edition), while he is coming out of a triumphant tour of Handel’s Alcina and while he is expected to conduct Massenet’s Manon in April 2023 at the Liceu, Marc Minkowski has had a fall, not like the one of Tár/Cate Blanchett at the movie, but a nasty one that caused a fracture. The performances of Le Bourgeois gentilhomme by Molière and Lully (directed by Jérôme Deschamps) that he was due to conduct on 16, 17, 18 and 25 March 2023 at the Opéra Comique have fortunately not been cancelled. He is replaced by Théotime Langlois de Swarte, a brilliant violinist and conductor who will make his debut at the Opéra Comique conducting the Musiciens du Louvre.
