Opera boss is fired after letting gamers in
mainBolot Osmonov, head of the Kyrgyzstan Opera Ballet Theatre, must have thought he was being really cool when he rented the house for a day to a convention of gamers.
But Boris was unware how violent some of these games are. The gamers wrecked the house and Boris got the sack.
Read all about it here.
The gamers wrecked the house? There is nothing about it in the linked article.
Nor in another article I found
https://northcoastcourier.co.za/afp/566772/kyrgyz-opera-director-sacked-over-cybersports-event/
I infer that the “destruction” was the outrage over the hall having been used for an event of this type. People were upset over the violent nature of the game, because of course no opera has one jot of violence, blood, mayhem, etc. Except Salome. Carmen. Butterfly. Carmelites. Elektra. Lucia. etc. etc.
The linked article doesn’t mention any physical damage to the property — is there another news report that covers that aspect of the story?
You must be new here.
No, there wasn’t any physical damage + what “Wide-Eyed” said. This article here – http://www.tazabek.kg/news:1491531 – has pictures of the actual event.
In all honesty, whatever ones opinion on the matter, the gamers’ event looks like less logistical drudgery than this… https://squashmad.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Squash@Symphony.jpg
That’s Symphony Hall Boston!! You can’t post a pic of people playing racquetball there. Sacrilege!
Actually I can and I did 😉
In all seriousness however, while I too prefer the Boston Symphony Hall in its intended configuration and fulfilling its intended purpose, your indignation is ~5.600km off of target. I suggest you redirect it to Boston, specifically the BSO & Symphony Hall’s management.
Some problems with sarcasm detection here it seems…?
And have the string players (see the first gallery picture in the tazabek.kg article) also been appropriately punished for participating in such an event?
The gamers wrecked the house by just being there. The place is sacred ground! Uncouth gamers don’t belong!!! They probably can’t tell the difference between Puccini and Verdi.
The linked article’s title mentions a “trail of destruction” but then doesn’t give any examples of physical damage. It seems that what exists, though, is a lot of what the young people these days call “butthurt.”
