Opera News, 76 years old and one of the leading classical music magazines in the country, said on Monday that it would stop reviewing the Metropolitan Opera, a policy prompted by the Met’s dissatisfaction over negative critiques.
My mother always said, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” I guess the Met folks agree.
so the whoever labels the yearbook photos definitely doesn’t know their instruments. An oboe is not a clarinet people.
I received this a few days ago:
