Witty, urbane and indefatigable to the last, Chéreau was one of the great directors of the past 40 years, a man whose creative integrity was his professional hallmark
The last time I met the French director Patrice Chéreau, who died on Monday at the age of 68, he had already been diagnosed with cancer. It was in Berlin last April; he looked tired and his hair was thinning. But he refused to stint, either on rehearsals for a production of Elektra at the Aix-en-Provence festival on which he was engaged, or on his mentoring of the young Polish director Michał Borczuch for a programme run by the Rolex Mentors Initiative.
At the end of the week in Berlin, he attended a dinner for eight people, where he was the centre of attention. He was witty and nostalgic – reminiscing about trips he made to the seaside with his parents as a boy – and full of life and plans.

Two star tenors, Roberto Alagna and Jos? Cura, take on the challenge of singing the lead roles in both Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana and Leoncavallo's Pagliacci when the classic double-bill returns to the Met's repertory. At the season premiere on March 19, Alagna sings Turiddu in Cavalleria Rusticana for the first time on any stage and Canio in Pagliacci in his Met role debut. Waltraud Meier joins him in the Mascagni work as Santuzza, along with Charles Taylor as Alfio. Leoncavallo's opera also features Nuccia Focile as Nedda, Alberto Mastromarino in his Met debut as Tonio, and Christopher Maltman in his company role debut as Silvio.
