MOSCOW, March 18 – RIA Novosti. A court has ruled that New York’s Metropolitan Opera should pay Russian opera singer Anna Netrebko more than $200,000 in compensation for canceled performances in 2022, The New York Times reported, citing the ruling. According to the newspaper, the opera did not want to pay Netrebko because of its refusal to convict Russian President Vladimir Putin after the start of a special operation in Ukraine, which the company said was a breach of contract. However, as the judge pointed out, the singer has the right to be “Putin’s supporter” and her position does not appear to be illegal. Moreover, according to the contract with Netrebko, the opera is obliged to pay her, whether she performs or not. Netrebko also wanted to receive an additional 400,000 dollars for future seasons, but this request was not granted, since there was no corresponding clause in the contract, while the singer was ordered to pay a fine of 30 000 dollars for “inappropriate” statements against his detractors, the publication informs. . According to the newspaper, the Metropolitan Opera also announced the dismissal of Netrebko’s wife, Yusif Eyvazov. In early March last year, the Metropolitan Opera in New York announced that Netrebko would not take part in upcoming productions because he had failed to comply with an obligation to withdraw his public support for Russian President Vladimir Putin amid events in Ukraine. For the same reason, the Bavarian State Opera severed its relations with her. After that, a Netrebko representative said that the singer decided to take a break from concert activities. Netrebko then announced on social media that she would resume performances.
