Opera strike reshapes Met season at Lincoln Center
The Metropolitan Opera faces a strike over wages and season length as NYCO members protest a shift to a 20 week summer fall season. A 6.5 percent annual raise over three years is offered, with current pay at $535 weekly for six performances, rising to $735 per week. Deficit relief from fundraising cut the bottom line but workweeks shrink, prompting pickets and refunds while performances proceed for the public. Jacques Amboise was seen near the center as actors planned continued shows despite the dispute.
