Season press release disappears from Metropolitan Opera site.
by Paul J. Pelkonen
As the 2012-13 season approaches, the Metropolitan Opera is notoriously stingy with information.
First, the opera company cancelled its traditional press luncheon, opting for a brusque press release. Then, that self-same press release announcing the 2012-2013 season has apparently disappeared from the company's website. Click that link above: you'll get a blank page.
Luckily our good friends at Parterre Box were smart enough to post a copy of the season announcement. It is here for your perusal and enjoyment.
Here at Superconductor, our hardworking staff of ten (fingers) is putting together this year's Metropolitan Opera Preview, complete with recording recommendations, snarky comments about new productions, and even nice boldface type. With 28 operas on tap, this is the biggest writing job of the year, but it's worth it to keep you opera lovers informed on what's worth seeing at the Met.
