He has been to Boston, Houston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Santa Fe, and the White House twice, once for a memorable concert featuring the American debut of a long-lost Mozart symphony. Last week found Walsh in Paris to review Peter Brook's idiosyncratic new production of Bizet's opera Carmen. "I don't mind the travel at all," says Walsh.
