Peter Gelb calls out the dictators

The Metropolitan Opera’s general manager has been giving some pre-curtain thoughts on Fidelio.

‘It’s a mesage to dictators that rings true today… My personal heroine is my wife, the conductor Kerri-Lynn Wilson, who, as I speak, is crossing the Ukrainian border for the sixth or seventh time since the invasion to perform for the liberty of that heroic and embattled nation.’

The post Peter Gelb calls out the dictators appeared first on Slippedisc.
