Melody Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 According to this article, regular chorus members are making around $200,000 a year. http://www.dw.de/new-yorks-met-faces-social-rejection-of-opera/a-17595752 I wonder what NYCB and ABT corps members make.

JulieW Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I was shocked to read how much they earn when you think how much dancers get even in top companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 It appears (according to the WSJ) that the Met has come to some kind of last minute agreement which will allow the 2014/15 season to commence. Source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aileen Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 The salaries and benefits packages seem incredibly generous to me. Surely that is a very large staff given the fact that there is no resident ballet company (or is NYCB based there?). I doubt that those costs are sustainable with declining audiences.
