Jan McNulty Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I've come across this on twitter this morning: https://www.pnb.org/live/ Seattle time is 8 hours behind current UK time so I think the transmission will start at 0230 UK time. This is one for the night owls! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissBalletFan Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 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 (a reference to the POB expenses 'scandal' under Millepied) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) 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 (a reference to the POB expenses 'scandal' under Millepied) 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 edited hyperlink as linking directly to the newspage or the pdf report didn't work for me Edited September 21, 2016 by Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
