"If, to use a mathematical analogy, instrumental music is "pure music" then opera is "applied music". The collaboration between voices, instruments, text and the theatre is a complex and exhilerating one and requires close co-operation between Conductor and Stage Director. The exact balance of power in this relationship is, in itself, an endlessly contentious subject giving rise to hours of delicate discussion, usually, but not always, managing to stop short of violence!"
