New York’s Metropolitan Opera announced it will not work with Russian artists and organizations who support President Vladimir Putin until the country’s invasion of Ukraine ceases.
“While we believe strongly in the warm friendship and cultural exchange that has long existed between the artists and artistic institutions of Russia and the United States, we can no longer engage with artists or institutions that support Putin or are supported by him — not until the invasion and killing has been stopped, order has been restored and restitutions have been made,” Gelb said in a video message shared to Facebook on Sunday.
“It’s terrible that artistic relationships, at least temporarily, are the collateral damage of these actions by Putin,” Gelb told the Times.
