Anna Netrebko’s manager has responded to Peter Gelb’s latest comments regarding the diva in a May 2024 interview with Diapason. In a recent issue with the French magazine, Miguel Esteban, Netrebko’s manager said, “Peter Gelb insinuates that he has private information, but in reality, Anna Netrebko’s opinion on Putin and the war in Ukraine is public. In her March 30, 2022 statement, Anna Netrebko clarified that she was at arm’s length from Putin or the Russian government. She declared her opposition to the war on February 26, 2022, two days after the start of the conflict, and again on March 1 and 30, 2022. Anna Netrebko has stated that she loves her home country (even though she kept her word and has not set foot there since February 2022) but she has never used the words that Peter Gelb attributes to her (“I support my country.”).”

Jacksonville Today

This week, City Council is set to begin discussing the proposed deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars to renovate EverBank Stadium. At its center is the agreement for a $1.4 billion stadium overhaul, the cost of which would be split 50-50 with the Jags after the city also covers $150 million in overdue maintenance and repair work. The city has said it plans to pay for its $625 million construction portion, for the most part, by redirecting revenue from a half-penny sales tax, passed as “the Better Jacksonville Plan.” But it’s not a straight line from the tax revenue pot to getting cranes in the air — the plan depends on budget changes to avoid debt on other projects, and using money that would have gone toward paying down that debt on the stadium reno.
