BLO Artistic Advisor John Conklin follows up his post from yesterday regarding the continually unfolding story of the Met/Opera News relationship...
Well, that didn't take long. The mighty Metblinked, retreated, gave in with what appears to be a humiliating defeat. Youcan check out the veritable (and almost instantaneous) avalanche of criticism,reproach, anger, scorn, bitterness, ridicule directed at Peter Gelb whenthe story hit. …and this just on the New York Times website. Is there more fall-out coming?
Interesting... the Gelb "censorship" newswas on the front page of The New YorkTimes yesterday but the story of today's retraction was on page 3 of the ArtsSection. It's getting to be like trying to interpret news from theKremlin or psyching out the meaning of where the Russianleaders are standing for the May Day parade. Incidentally, there were many blogcomments on the Soviet-Stalinist tone of the Met pronouncements... as well ascalls for the overthrow/deposition of Comrade Gelb. Occupy the Met?Audiences of the World Unite?
