The Met doubles down on support for Ukraine

[SleeplessinSoCal]

While Shitler is busy trashing the Kennedy Center by having it reflect his hideous taste, the Met is showing the way.

I came across the phenomenon on Instagram.

"The Metropolitan Opera is doubling down on its support for Ukraine. On March 3, 2025 during the opening night performance of “Moby Dick’ the company performed the Ukrainian National Anthem."

Interesting review from Opera Wire:

"First off, let’s take a moment to recognize that Gelb has been involved in some truly positive initiatives to support the people of Ukraine during a three-year period in which their lands have been stolen from them by a dictatorial aggressor. For those who seemed to forget (and the current U.S. administration seems hellbent on making us forget) – Russia started the war. Russia invaded Ukraine. And at this moment, Ukraine is up against its greatest challenge as the Donald Trump administration abandons its people in concordance with Vladimir Putin’s demands. So supporting the people of Ukraine is important. Over the course of history, art is often the great equalizer and initiatives like the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra certainly make the world a better and freer place."

1. Beautiful. America stands with Ukraine.

That has not changed one bit. Interrupt the enablement and collaboration the seeks to substitute a minority cult's treason for a national betrayal.

2. I remember

In the first days of the 2nd invasion the world was singing this in one resounding voice. It's heartwarming to see and hear it again

3. AND performed in no less the DAVID KOCH Theater.

The irony is delicious.

5. How can we turn our backs on Ukraine?

They are heroes for freedom and democracy. We must continue supporting them. They have endured so much, since Russia invaded them, for no reason. They are fighting bravely, to save their country. I agree, they for our democracy as well as theirs.

It makes me angry that tsf, has defected to Russia. Although he still lives here, right now.
