So it seems that the GM of the Opéra de Lyon, Serge Dorny, is the lead contender for the Unter den Linden director job in Berlin.
It's obvious he's trying to leave town after his failed attempt at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées director job last June. For once, it seems we agree on something: get him out of Lyon.
Thanks to the fellow Lyonnais who alerted me of this news. German sources here and there.

Several of the Berlin papers did report Serge Dorny to be the lead contender for the job before Christmas, but it didn´t work out that way as Jürgen Flimm has been appointed to the post at Unter den Linden.
However, there is still the open question of who will succeed Kirsten Harms at the Deutsche Oper Berlin in a couple of seasons...
Please check out this blog http://futureroyaloperahouse.blogspot.com/ That one and others for Opera National de Paris, La Scala, the Wiener Staastoper and the Met have been set up to see what's ahead at the major houses. And to make everybody's future travel plans somewhat more enlightened! There's a lot to see and hear, so somehow you have to balance against a budget! We will try to continually update, but commments with further info will make it even more useful!
Thanks for an excellent opera blog!
