Pacific Northwest Ballet livestream Millepied rehearsal on 21st September


Recommended Posts

Thanks for this Janet. I am sure that as usual, when anything is broadcast live on the internet a recording will pop up somewhere.

I guess that the showing on the internet is to prevent so many guests & staff having to get taxis to the performance and expensing them ;)

Undeniably, the figures read extraordinary, and Millepied was the only director with a car/ chauffeur during his time in office. Having said that, the audit report on https://www.ccomptes.fr/ (search for Opera de Paris; the document was published in mid Sep) refers to 2005 - 2014 i.e., most of it relates to prior to Millepied's arrival, and it covers all of Paris Opera (not just POB) - so e.g,. the taxi bill/ the representation costs will have been incurred by a number of senior staff.  If you've seen figures specific to starting in Sep 2014, I'll be happy to read these  :)
