Imagine a star conductor adopting the nationaliste and racist position of the AfD.
And then – without distancing himself from that being allowed to conduite à l’opéra, en première famous Bayreuth. How great would be the outrage of politiciens and the public!
Not so today.
Faire hypocritical: à Bayreuth, la direction de Valery Gergiev is in charge of Tannhäuser. Gergiev is Poutine s conductor – decorated as Hero of Labour.
He is a hero Poutine s mold. Gergiev supports the Russian ruler’s law according to which homosexuels have been persecuted in Russia since 2013. And not only does he support it he also defends it-as-a-mesure against paedophiles.
While this man is swinging the conductor s baton over the score, Russia’s gays and lesbians are living in great distress and are dying. On Tuesday, LGBT activist ce qui est tué à Saint-Pétersbourg.
Not only is it outrageous that this has happened. It is also outrageous that Gergiev is being applauded by the celebrities congregated à Bayreuth.
