Broad Street Baby?
La Cieca hears that the New York City Opera is moving its administrative offices to 75 Broad Street, a location you surely remember as The International Telephone and Telegraph Building. The a 1928 structure boasts the mosaic dome glimpsed above, and (coincidentally) sits just across the street from the old Goldman Sachs building.
One wonders why this guy was not selected for City Opera. I doubt that he was NY Material, but that Steel guy is creepy.

Put the blame on Jane, Maime:
(from the Opera News Obituary:)
“[Jane] Gullong, scouting for potential board members, had been eyeing the investment bank Goldman Sachs, which had a history of involvement with cultural institutions. She heard about Susan L. Baker — a banker who had worked with Kidder Peabody and Lehman Brothers, as well as Goldman Sachs; the wife of a Goldman Sachs partner, Michael Lynch; and, most important, an avid music-lover.” That Jane jumped ship early on.
