A 16 year-old suspect has been arrested.

    The Vienna Staatsoper and La Bastille seem to be historically musically unrulable. Vienna for its notorious gossip-tradition, and Paris for its notorious French bureaucracy.

    • Margaret Koscielny says:

      What does this to do with the tragedy reported?

      • MWnyc says:

        Almost certainly, Novagerio had another tab open in his browser with the “Dudamel’s real reasons for quitting Paris?” and he/she/ze posted the comment in the wrong tab by mistake.

        Unfortunate, but likely accidental and likely not malicious.

      What has that post to do with the desperately sad murder of the young musician? Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

  • Zarathusa says:

    Very, very sad! A beautiful life sacrificed over a parking spot! This sounds so positively AMERICAN!

  • Margaret Koscielny says:

    Such a waste of a musician’s life for such petty reasons. Too much violence by too many young men. What is wrong with them?
