- As union negotiations continue, MET Opera chief Peter Gelb makes some grave pronouncements about the future of opera, prompting Alex Ross to question the "maladroit public relations" that have plagued the company.
- Homophobic comments by Georgian soprano Tamar Iveri spark a torrential backlash but also some cautionary words about bullying and witch-hunting.
