Jennie Fields says
Are these numbers per performance and per rehearsal or per run of the opera?
gramilano says
These sums are per performance. Usually rehearsals are covered by ‘living’ costs (hotel, restaurant expenses) and so the true money earned is with the performances. If you do all the rehearsals and then fall ill you receive nothing.
Baritono says
Yes, from experience, Cagliari takes years and sometimes you have to fight to get the full payment. Both orchestras in Milan take about 18 months to pay. Naples San Carlo about 12 months. Verona about 6 months. Singers, soloists and conductors usually have to pre-pay accommodation and travel to be re-imbursed by the theatres. But, you also have to wait for this money. You can be without money for a long time! Most conductors and soloists do not get near the money you say in this article. This is more than 25x what most people receive.
Jerry says
While Bartoli can afford to wait I’m sure it must be a disadvantage for some. And apart form that… it’s not right!
Mr Helden says
A colleague has just turned down a juicy role in the south of Italy because she’s afraid that she won’t get paid at ALL. She’d read reports about the budget crises the theater’s having and thought she’d be better off earning less elsewhere. Wise girl.
Mr Neilley says
Wise woman, wouldn’t you say? Unless of course, she is twelve years old, then girl would be the correct term.
Mr Helden says
Nitpicking… but the word was chosen for a purpose. Although she is certainly no longer a girl, she’s always using comments such as, “Come on girl, get your act together!” Now many will be able to guess who I’m talking about.
Mr Neilley says
Is it nitpicking? I am sure if it was a male singer who referred to himself as “come on boy, get your act together!” no one would be saying “wise boy”.
Peter Freeman says
Lol! So right!
Tess says
Can you possibly post a link to the full article? I was scanning the Classic Voice site & didn’t find it, would love to read it.
gramilano says
Dear Tess, the article isn’t on-line but in the print edition (though I believe you can subscribe on-line and receive a digital edition). Sorry I can’t be more helpful…
