Well-heeled the Metropolitan Opera, and his younger half-brother, the New York City Opera, New York City nearly 70 years has been the home of two opera companies. City Opera, but the hard times, depressed, and a bitter labor dispute that could screen for this beloved institution.
New York City Opera in a place where the young Beverly Sills, who was then director of the company's repertoire of daring by the American singer, you can listen to the program's credit enhancement. La Traviata or La Boheme is one of the heroines, the company seems to be great and will probably be a serious quandary. Over the past decades, the manager and the talent and the audience through a series of financial missteps have been degenerate. From Risa Heller, a spokesman for the city, according to Opera, the company racked up crippling deficits.
"These deficiencies need to be dramatically changed our company," Heller said. "Therefore, the first of May, we announced that we are Lincoln Center, the city, which significantly reduced our operating costs to run them anywhere near. Secondly, the site has more than 42 percent of our administrative staff have quit, laying off many longtime employees. And the company's collective bargaining agreement forward a plan for restructuring of opera as a main component, has been reflected economic reality. "
As artistic director, George Steel was hired two years ago, he put on two Lincoln Center, the truncated season - and the city's opera and the union agreed to major concessions. The union plans to employ only the bar instead of the number of weeks now and teach more than they are at loggerheads with management over pay for performance.
Alan S. Gordon, the American Guild of Musical Artists, the union that the singer, dancer and stage management, the executive director of the agency.
"What we are really some of the employment contract under 26 weeks of age, or assign the contract of employment under the 22-week versus 60 hours for what now would be," Gordon said.
That represent a de facto 90 per cent, according to Gordon pay cut for city opera chorus: "Who was the last year of $ 40,000 to create, this year will be about 4,500."
Heller disagrees.
"The survivors from the City Opera," she says, "We only work with artists who perform and teach for the benefit of paying competitive wages and can not be changed from the conventional model. We work means that they can not do. In this same model that the Los Angeles Opera, Houston Grand Opera, the Opera and will be used in many operas. "
Both a federal mediator to help negotiate a new contract was brought, but the committee was broken last Sunday evening. Musicians from the City Opera, La Traviata, who was scheduled to start rehearsals this week imposed a lockout. Anthony Tommasini, chief music critic for The New York Times, sidelines has been to argue that.
"For musicians and choristers who were the bulk of their income, there was this really bedrock, they counted on," Tommasini said. "I fully understand that this is a terrible outcome, but if you go to the company, I think this season to decide what sort of steel, and the only way to go to -. now, anyway."
Talk with an extra set, Heller says, is to accept things the City Opera, "a period of one day." The first performance at the Brooklyn Academy Music, scheduled for 12 rd with phebruyori, time is running out.
