Just in: Gergiev is a no-show in Vienna

The conductor was 15 minutes late for the opening night of Lohengrin at the Vienna State Opera.

Today, he didn’t turn up at all, claiming a flight delay.

 

Mostly, he takes private jets.

This is an insult to the audience, the intelligence and to music itself.

 

UPDATE: ‘Everyone knows Gergiev is late’
