Revoke the appointment of Beatrice Venezi to the musical direction of the La Fenice Theater because “it does not guarantee neither artistic qualities nor international prestige”. The Venetian lyric orchestra asks for this in a letter to the superintendent Nicola Colabianchi in which the orchestrals complain of “the consequences” of the appointment: “Only twenty -four hours since the announcement there are disdain from historical subscribers, a damage not only economic for the theater, but, above all, of image and credibility” say the orchestrals.
“We believe it is unacceptable to sacrifice the trust of a faithful public, built and maintained over time also through enormous difficulties, for a appointment that does not guarantee neither artistic qualities nor international prestige. Our audience is the pride of the Phoenix, just as the level of its orchestra and its reputation in the international context are. With this choice, these values are seriously questioned »reads the letter signed by the professors and orchestra professors of the La Fenice Theater.
Not only that. «In light of what happened, it is clear that the relationship of trust between the orchestra and the superintendent is now hopelessly compromised. We are unable to recognize the guidance of our theater in her »write the orchestrals.
