“Based on journalist feedback,” the Met’s press office has ceased issuing email announcements of cast changes, which is totally believable, because if there’s anything journalists simply detest, it’s convenient access to up-to-date information on the beat they’re covering. As as result of this news the cher public will have to keep a constant watch on the Met’s website, where cast changes will be made as quietly and unobtrusively as possible. Based on this policy the Met seemed to have lost money with the many cast changes that occurred this past season. Not making press releases seems like a way to make sure that ticket holders go to the performance no matter who sings.
What do you think of this new policy?
