Bad news for the Met: big donors in marriage bust-up
mainWhen the Metropolitan Opera wants to know what’s going on in the world, it does not read the New York Times, which functions part-time as its press department, but tears open the nasty, blue-collar New York Post.
Today the Post reports a looming divorce between Texas oil heir Sid Bass and his formerly dearly beloved Mercedes after 23 years of inseparable opera going. Mercedes has given the Met gifts of $25 million. Any future donations will depend on the size of her divorce settlement.

I’ll be sure to let the Met know when Alberto Vilar gets out of jail. He could be their saviour yet again.
