    Interesting that Gelb calls Netrebko the most famous soprano of our times…. wonder what Angela Gheorghiu would have to say about that? Hype or not?

    Peter Gelb is a terrible bore who spouts cliches. He also takes credit for what are not his ideas or work. He does not offer a single innovative or theorized concept. He is nothing but a banal impresario. For example, neither Gelb nor Kentridge knew of the Shostakovich opera, The Nose–neither originated this hit. The proposal came from elsewhere: the research and aetiology and performance ideas were appropriated without credit. See THE APP on javari http://javari.com/Kentridge.pdf for details. New York NY
