Young Conductor Watch

Philippe Jordan (IMG Artists), whom I have heard at the Met twice, most recently conducting Le Nozze di Figaro, and whose conducting I disliked quite vehemently, is the latest young conductor (and IMG artist) to get a big post, as music director of the Paris Opera. Please tell me this means he won't appear as much at the Met.
