I used to think of Carnegie Hall as Hallowed Ground. Carnegie Hall is
owned by the city and taxpayer money. John Turturro leads actors against
Carnegie Hall eviction A group of actors including Robert De Niro, John Turturro and Susan Sarandon is asking Mayor Michael Bloomberg to help save the Carnegie Hall studios that are home to artists who taught generations of greats.
Its an
opera for crying out loud.
I suppose you'd ban Wagner's
"Der Ring Des Nibelungen" because of all the incest that happens during the 22+ hours it takes to perform?
Maybe we should also worry about Verdi's
"La Traviata" because the heroine is a prostitute, or Bizet's
"Les Pêcheurs de Perles" because two young men sing a love duet to each other, (The music is terrific in that, by the bye.)
What
Philistines some of you are!!
