Opera San Jose will begin a run of Cinderella next week, featuring the opera's composer-turned-conductor, 17-year-old musical prodigy Alma Deutscher.
It was inevitable Deutscher would find her way to the conductor's chair, giving her complete control over the execution of her musical visions.
"The orchestra is so committed, it’s incredible," she laughed."It even played when all the lights went off, cause we had a power cut, that didn’t stop us -- we still continued." "It just really struck me how she’s timeless and ageless," said the orchestra's concertmaster Cynthia Baehr-Williams who played Deutscher's Cinderella five years ago with the company."I mean, she was twelve before -- but she wasn’t -- and now she’s seventeen and she’s not."
But years, experience and the force of her vision have erased any questions about her ability to lead into new musical terrains.
