The New York Met has to pay €186,000 to Anna Netrebko for her dismissal and the soprano is fined for her statements
An arbitration process, attended by the New York Metropolitan Opera and the soprano Anna Netrebkohas ruled that the New York Coliseum must pay 200,000$ (€186,000) to the singer, on the occasion of the functions that he canceled for her position and statements at the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This amount corresponds to what should have been their functions, already contracted, for the operas Don Carlo (this season), The force of Destiny y Andrea Chenier (both during 2023-2024). However, Netrebko has tried to get her to also compensate her for those future ones that had not yet been finalized: The queen of spades, Manon Lescaut, Macbeth y Toscafor an amount of $400,000 more, but the arbitrator has dismissed it.
Likewise, the arbitrator has concluded that there is no doubt that Netrebko “was a supporter of Putin”, but that she has a perfect right to be so and, on the other hand, fined the soprano almost $30,000 for her “highly inappropriate” statements about her critics. westerners.
