| And that was a great thing to do, but he waived his salary after years of making exorbitant wages compared to the artists and stagehands in his employ, and it took a global pandemic for him to reconsider making millions of dollars a year for leading a non-profit arts organization. And now he's asking everyone else to take large pay cuts that will extend past the duration of the pandemic, at a time when people who work in the arts are already making relatively low wages. Of course, this pay structure isn't unique to the Met. It's endemic throughout the entertainment sector, but at least some industries, such as Hollywood, are talking about making sure everyone earns livable wages. Theater and opera not so much, the Vineyard Theatre being the one notable exception. |
