Title: Mortier Pulling Out of City Opera
Post by: bhodges on November 07, 2008, 01:50:11 PM
I guess we should have seen it coming.  The New York Times story is here (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/08/arts/music/08oper.html?_r=1&ref=arts&oref=slogin).

Too bad...the opening season would have been a stunner.

It was simply too good to last, or become reality. A genius like Mortier does not happen too often in the world of opera; NYCO dropped the ball.  :(
