Well, I schlepped into NYC for Italiana tonight to find a couple of 8.5x11 signs taped to the center door indicating that the performance was cancelled. (There were a bunch of NYPD folks milling around the lobby. What they might have been doing there is somewhat of a mystery to me.) The signs suggested calling at 10 AM on Monday to find out about refunds. (That should be a fun thing to try!)

What else would one expect from the people who have probably the worst website in the United States. They certainly have my email address and they know I bought a ticket. I suppose I am not unique. But the thought of an email blast to all of us when they decided to cancel was probably too difficult for their crack programmers to put into their system; or maybe they just never though of it. Even now they could just credit my credit card as they know I didn't sell the ticket. (It was being held for me at the box office.) And they could send me an email informing me that they did, but that would probably be too much to ask.

Sometimes I drive and park underneath, but tonight I took a bus in. I wonder what the poor schlubs who paid $40 to park might have to say!

Racist Trump supporters hate opera? What would be the point of something like that?

Well the big “white powder” scare used to be anthrax, and we’ve got good tests for that now.

Ah geez.

Is nothing sacred anymore? Not even the Met?

They are attacking the PINNACLE of Western art and culture.

A decade ago you could shut down anything in this country with a handful of talcum powder or creamora.

My brother and his wife had a similar experience when the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra went on strike. The musicians walked out that morning, but the PSO did not notify subscribers in advance.

Was this a “Live in HD” performance?

“...an email blast to all of us when they decided to cancel was probably too difficult for their crack programmers...”

That is very disappointing for you. And yes, I suppose the Met could afford someone to handle that stuff.

Tonight hubby and I looked at the website of a banquet hall here in NJ that we *might* be going to for Thanksgiving, but now we don’t really want to because while there was NO mention of Thanksgiving, the 2016 Mother’s Day Brunch menu was still prominently featured.

Really? Can’t you please hire an 8th grader to manage your website?

Well, you didn’t miss much with the cancellation of L’Italiana. I saw it last week. The singing is good, but the production is very silly. Like for a 12-year-old mentality. Couldn’t stand it.
