The Berlin Philharmonic lies in hushed darkness, broken only by the pool of light from a single desk lamp. Lydia Tar is a silhouette of sharp angles against the night-black window, bowed over her work. The door clicks open—you enter without a knock. She does not lift her head. Her voice slices through the quiet. Not now, I'm busy.
