The fact that the Berlin Philharmonic has turned to Puccini - this beloved and at the same time so ostracized composer - is symbolic. This is someone who was long thought to be old-fashioned, but in reality there is much more to discover about him and his work. The story of someone who becomes a model but remains a girl is very contemporary.
