According to Antoine’s ex-girlfriend, he studied at the Manhattan School of Music from when he was a young child until he graduated from high school. During his year-long leave of absence in 2006-2007, he worked as a steward at the Boston Opera House, where he could watch music performances for free. Whenever the opportunity arose, he would buy as many music scores as possible...
...Utzon's Legacy In his milestone item on Jorn Utzon, architect Richard Meier wrote that "a disagreement with the Australian government" led Utzon to resign from the Sydney Opera House project before it was complete [Dec. 15]. The Australian government was not involved in the project. The government of the state of New South Wales was in charge.

...overture to “Oberon,” an opera by Carl Maria von Weber, was first, and HRO’s rendition was both articulate and spirited. Rebecca L. Gruskin ’11 opened the piece with a solemn, clear horn call that, in the opera, would signal the beginning of the Elf-King’s quest to save the hero, Huan. Gruskin was impeccable throughout the evening, and when the call returned, it was as clear but more optimistic, fitting the music perfectly. The strings were agile both dynamically and technically, evoking a mystical landscape...
