I used to support the Met but haven’t in a long time for a few reasons. In this instance they cut ties with her, Gergiev and and finally Levine. Yet, they can’t afford to do it completely. They still play their music on SeriusXM all the time, especially Levine. Ditto on their own streaming platform. So they will banish you for your beliefs but still make money off of you while we can. IMO what Levine did was much worse and it was the worst kept secret in NYC since the 70s.

If they removed the Levine recordings from the archive, there wouldn't be much left. He conducted there from 1971-2017.

But he's dead. So he doesn't get the money. Are his heirs terrible also?

Yes you’re right. He died in 21?

I was pretty sure but for a moment I thought you might be talking about a different Levine. Anyway, as long as his heirs aren't also quite terrible I see no problem with the Met and his heirs making money off stuff his estate has a stake in.

You are correct. But listen, you’re in for penny, you’re in for a pound. They are nothing more than BS virtue signalers.
