Cuomo allows limited April 2 reopening in NY
mainMessage from New York’s musicians’ union:
Local 802 applauds today’s decision by Governor Cuomo to allow a limited reopening of live performances in New York starting on April 2. This landmark announcement has been a long time coming and we need it now more than ever. All along, we’ve urged the state to open the arts as safely and as expeditiously as possible in order to give audiences and tourists what they crave: the world’s best live music and art, presented in a safe and responsible format, to make our city’s recovery a reality. New York’s labor movement, including Local 802, will act as partners to ensure that producers and employers protect our audiences, musicians and arts workers. We urge all producers of live music to take advantage of today’s announcement and begin hiring musicians again as soon as possible, while following all safety protocols and honoring all pre-existing collective bargaining agreements. We are ready, willing and able to do our part to re-open New York and welcome our return as the live music capital of the world.
Carnegie Hall. A line for last minute tickets
and returns, and for standing room! I am probably
on that line!
Cuomo is accused in sexual harassment by 2 women. Is that ok if NY governor is women harasser?
I really can’t understand. They fired Domingo based on non proof statements of 2 women, but they are fine with Cuomo.
Where is Metoo? Metoo was told to shut up about Cuomo and about Baiden?
It was 3 women and it all happened recently, there will indeed be an investigation.
Methinks sexual harassment is the least of
“Baby Doc” Cuomo’s problems…
lol — Who have you heard say that “it’s OK if NY governor is women harasser” and “they are fine with Cuomo”?
Hillary did.
She’s laughing at all those girls right now. 3 ‘feminists’ as of today…lol!
This strong woman is behind these victims 100%!

We’re up to FOUR women as of this weekend however we understand you ‘The View from America’.
…they’re just feminists bitchin’ as usual.
“Where is Metoo?”
Did (up to now) three women come forward with allegations? Yes, they did. There’s your metoo.
“I really can’t understand.”
Part of the problem.
Where is investigation regarding Baiden? He was accused in harassment also. He is a democrat like metoo women. I guess this is the reason why metoo don’t push this case.
Metoo is not about women protection anymore, it is an instrument to get ride of powerful men.
You don’t really expect these people to care about a little sexual harassment, do you? I urge you to keep in mind that these are the same people who willfully and laughingly (I witnessed that for myself) overlooked the “open secret” of James Levine’s sexual abuse of students and subordinates. Let’s be really honest here: Without double standards, these people wouldn’t have any standards at all. All that matters is that their egos get stroked and the paychecks clear… unless, of course, there’s some virtue signalling to be done then, they become the most morally-puckered people on the planet.
What you will end up seeing is productions and theaters close permanently on Broadway because the ticket sales will not support the salaries for the shows. Until it is safe enough for tourists, who by and large support the Broadway ticket sales to return, there is no great fix and possibly a worse financial outcome than keeping the theaters dark. The classical music ticket sales conversely has both a tourist issue and the 65 and over issue; as seniors largely buy the tickets for the events at the larger halls. Even with vaccines, with all the covid variants flying around NYC you won’t see seniors waiting on line to purchase tickets to classical music events in any great numbers. I would love to go to live performances again, but reality tells me April is way too early.
Agree April is probably a little early. But it is with very distanced audience and thus probably safe. More important, it sends signal we are genuinely on the cusp of being able to re-start live indoor performances. I believe we will be seeing full capacity venues by late summer/early autumn.
late summer/early autumn 2022 or 2023?
Unfortunately I agree. I thought that the major halls and Broadway were not planning to open until September
It’s a start, but the guidelines allow a maximum of 100 people indoors and 200 outdoors. By the way, the photograph above appears to be in front of a Broadway house, and NOT Carnegie Hall.
Sounds like Cuomo is not only harassing women but is also in bed with the Variants. This deadly philandering will surely cause an explosive exponential spike in cases in 2-4 weeks, and we are NOT ready.
Buy your tickets now!
Let the COVID cases increase!
Forget what the doctors and scientists say!
AF of M Local 802 knows what’s best for you!
