Appeal: Please help Met chief who is now destitute
NewsWe have been asked to publicise an appeal for Craig Rutenberg, Director of Music Administration at the Metropolitan Opera from 2006-2015 and one of the best voice coaches anywhere.
Craig has fallen suddenly on very hard times. You’d think the big Met donors might rally round, but they haven’t.
Here’s what Craig writes:
Life changes in a minute. My landlord evicted me in February while I was in the hospital for surgery, my second surgery in a year. Since then, I’ve been living in a physical rehabilitation facility in the Bronx. But Medicare says my time there is expiring momentarily.
I need some help getting back on my feet. Literally. I need help to pay for big uncovered medical expenses and a small place to live. I’ve run out of other options until I can work again – but I hope to “get by with a little help from my friends.”
