    It’s not a selfie if someone else takes the photo. See their arms? Not a selfie. Just a photo.

  • Player says:

    God save us all… what would RW have made of this?

  • Gwin says:

    About fricken time!

  • Sammy says:

    Stutzman needs to go. She does not deserve to work with orchestras. She’s rude, unprepared, unprofessional and terrible collaborator with singers. I feel bad for the orchestra, singers and audience.

    • Clem says:

      Other musicians have told other stories in the comments on earlier articles about Stutzmann (not Stutzman, as you write). If you have any information or examples to back up your bashing, then share it. Preferably giving us an idea of who you are and how you got that information. Otherwise, you’re just slandering.

  • Jan Kaznowski says:

    both so stylishly dressed

    • Anon says:

      They’re working conductors. It’s what conductors wear in rehearsal. Just be glad they’re not stripped down showing off tatoos, wearing dark nail polish or bleached blonde hair like Yannick.
