Metropolitan Opera to stop working with artists who have ties to Putin
CBSN
The Metropolitan Opera in New York City is taking a stand on Russia's invasion into Ukraine, vowing to stop engaging with artists or institutions supported by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"The Metropolitan Opera opens its heart to the victims of the unprovoked war in Ukraine and salutes the heroism of the Ukrainian people," the Met's General Manager Peter Gelb said in a video shared on Facebook.
Gelb said Putin "seems intent on the destruction of Ukraine, its people and all personal freedom in Ukraine and Russia."
