“It’s the last major project of my life,” he said of his job with the Opéra Comique.

All this, as he settles into his new job as the leader — not the conductor — of the Opéra Comique in Paris.

Langrée moved to Paris once he started at the Opéra Comique, and when he is working in the United States, his day begins early, with about three hours of meetings before rehearsal starts.

That year, he was hired by President Emmanuel Macron of France to run the Opéra Comique; it was, Langrée said, the first job he had ever applied for.
