Peter Gelb Center Quotations

I've told Jim that our commitment to him is for as long as he was alive, which I hope is a long time. We want Jimmy to conduct as much as he is able and willing to do so here. I think the Met is the luckiest opera house in the world to have him as its music director and I hope that he will be at the center of its artistic life for the foreseeable future. It would be a terrible blow for me and my plans if he was not here.
