The Metropolitan Opera expects to achieve a balanced budget in 2011, the first for the company since 2004. In other good news, contributions and grants were up about 21% between 2009 and 2010; program service revenue rose about 6% in the same period. Maestro James Levine took a 5% pay cut, sending his 2010 compensation tumbling to only $1.5 million. [Bloomberg]

    What fun to see SEESAW invoked for this purpose! (I saw the original production several times — because a friend was involved. Young newbies Tommy Tune, Michelle Lee, Ken Howard at what was then the new Uris Theater.) That principle tune, with it’s cheery lesson, has never been far from my memory.

    How Broadway and the Met have changed since then!

    And does Bloomberg find this old news from the MET newsworthy again?
