Deeply concerning www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/u...

"Après Christian Tetzlaff, ou encore András Schiff, un nouveau nom vient de s’ajouter sur la liste des musiciens qui ont décidé de ne plus se produire aux États-Unis : celui du violoniste, chef d’orchestre et compositeur finlandais Pekka Kuusisto." #Boycott www.diapasonmag.fr/a-la-une/le-...

Why casting this very esteemed singer as Gandhi ? #opera

Yesterday most of the TV monitors were on the State media Fox News 🤮. I am happy to report that today, they mostly turned on CNN and MS NOW 🙂! #newyork #nyc #equinox #uspolitcs

So the Trump administration’s two goals in peace talks with Iran are: 1. A commitment by Iran not to develop a nuke (This was part of the Obama deal that Trump canceled) 2. Opening the Strait of Hormuz. (Was open before war.)

So far, Vance’s foreign policy record is yelling at Zelensky for not thanking Trump enough, campaigning for AfD in Germany and Orban in Hungary, getting rejected by the Pope on his invite to the US, and failing in the Iran negotiations.

So it turns out that the best way to open the Strait of Hormuz is to blockade it.

So upsetting!

Klaus Florian Vogt as Parsifal at the Met is one of the evening I will not forget. He is an exceptional tenor! #opera

For context: total turnout in Hungary’s last two elections barely cracked 70% by the time polls closed. This level of participation is sending a very clear signal. After 16 years of Viktor Orbán’s rule, voters are showing up in massive numbers. Especially in opposition strongholds.

An excellent recording

Good morning New York ! At 9, it is 45 and sunny ☀️. #newyork #nyc #CentralPark

NEWS: Two U.S. Navy destroyers were forced to turn back while attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard threatened them and launched a drone toward the ships, per Bloomberg citing a regional intelligence official. 1/

This directly contradicts CENTCOM's story and reports pushed by some American media outlets citing U.S. officials. 2/2

Back at the Frick for the first time in over a decade; then enjoyed the beautiful spring weather in Central Park. My heart is full.

Buttigieg: ".. the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH" Correct but nevertheless deeply upsetting! America : WAKE UP!

Sorry to read such a terrible review for this debut at the Paris Opera of Satyagraha!

I would support Pete Buttigieg!

Tonight’s concert was starring Golda Schulz under the baton of Kwame Ryan. Sick, the soprano skipped aria from Susannah, she delivered a beautiful rendition of Ann Trulove main’s aria. The conductor was celebrated by the audience and I will not forget the Ives work. #classicalmusic #nyphil

Darkling I listen

New cycle detected

Nixon in China by John Adams, with 3 excerpts opened the concert (with Fleming and Hampson) and the new world symphony was closing the concert after the intermission. An absolute triumph for the conductor and the orchestra. One of the best concert I ever attended!!!! #bso #classicalmusic
