Furman says the new offices might not provide enough room for both production and conferencing. "What I'm worried about right now is the year and a half of lag time between the time we move and the time we can meet at Mem Hall," he says...

He hopes to avoid being a "jet-lag conductor" by settling professionally in Los Angeles. Next season will be his last in Stockholm. "Being music director of one orchestra is enough," he says. But an added attraction in California is the enterprising Music Center Opera company; he's talking about leading a Boris Godunov there...
