I had the chance to sit down with maestro Patrick Lange, currently in town to conduct Madama Butterfly at the Canadian Opera Company. The Berlin-based conductor is in the middle of the twelve-show run featuring two different casts, and he still found time to do things like run in the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon and answer some of my questions. Madama Butterfly runs until October 31st at the Four Seasons Centre. For more info and tickets, click here.
