    Conducting relationships is obviously another art.

    At least not under-age!

    BTW – no splurge here about Mme. Netrebko’s Salzburg/Met Aida!
    Of course, if the the “United States of the Offended” (as one American commentator recently stated) continues its’ Mccarthy orgy of “political correctness”, surely Aida (featuring Ethiopian slaves who aren’t even salvaged) – and even Otello (a gullible Moor) – must surely disappear from public eye before the next Met. season comes around – irrespective of black or white face!

    The question is, how do gay conductors manage to have a fulfilling romantic life, if at all? How does constant travel allow for it, not to mention hiding one’s sexuality to appease funders or audiences? (Assuming that the death was the unfortunate result of an assignation.)
