At the Met, Netrebko’s other shoe drops
OperaUnder the smokescreen of Anna Netrebko’s $200k arbitration award for cancelled performances, Peter Gelb the Met’s general manager said he had also fired her Azeri husband, Yusif Eyvazov.
The reason given – oddly – was some abusive remarks made by Eyvazov nine months ago about the US soprano Angel Blue, who refused to appear opposite a blacked-up Netrebko in an Italian Aida prodution at Verona.
He’s bit late waking up to that. Yusif is probably next in line for Met compensation.
