More Weird Drama At ENO

When Paul Daniel, the outgoing music director of the English National Opera, conducted his last performance recently, he was sent out the door with a standing ovation, thunderous applause… and one incredibly persistent man booing him from a private box. The booing, as it turns out, was coming from the ENO’s own director of marketing, who was offended by Daniel’s recent criticism of some ENO management figures. In the wake of the incident, some members of the audience have called for the marketing director to be fired.
