Half-full or half-empty? Or slightly more than one-third full?
Tonight’s Hoffmann at the Met is conducted by John Keenan, but it’s not a(nother) James Levine cancellation. Of the nine performances of the Offenbach opera this season, Maestro Jimmy was always scheduled to do only six; the other were “TBA” until the season began. With his cancellation of of the December 16 performance, of course, he is down to five nights to Keenan’s four — assuming a return as scheduled for the final Hoffmann on January 2.

Warning: there’s math after the jump.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. According to La Cieca’s calculations, Levine was announced for 13 Met performances between opening night and last Saturday’s HD simulcast/broadcast. Of those dates he fulfilled five.  So his attendance rate for the season thus far is 38%.
