Peter Gelb says ( about Vladimir Putin ) : “When I was in Moscow there was obviously great political tension in the air,” “I remember speaking to colleagues in the Bolshoi about how at moments like this, artistic exchange is more important than ever. I meant it. That has been the way I’ve operated all my life. But I then got off a 10-hour flight home and what everyone thought was unthinkable, but apparently had been planned all along, happened. Putin had invaded Ukraine and at that point I switched gears. There was no great moral dilemma or difficult decision to make. We had to immediately sever relations with Putin-backed organisations, which sadly included the Bolshoi. I greatly admire them artistically, but it is Putin who literally signs the contract of my counterpart there and so the decision was clear”

Peter Gelb says ( about Anna Netrebko ) : “It was a painful but obvious decision,” “When I arrived at the Met, Netrebko was just getting launched and I immediately saw that she was someone on whose career the Met could hang its hat, and vice versa. I provided her, deservedly so, with an enormous range of roles and opportunities that opera singers’ careers are measured by”

Peter Gelb said : "will be less flashy and more internal in terms of delving into what drives these characters”. Gelb said Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who succeeded James Levine as music director for the 2018-19 season, will conduct in New York. The cast will include soprano Lise Davidsen. Lepage's Ring debuted from 2012-13 and was given three complete cycles in 2013 and three more in 2019, replacing a traditional Otto Schenk staging from the 1980s. Lepage's production became known for “The Machine,” a 45-ton, 24-plank set notorious for its malfunctions during early performances. “I am very proud of it. I think it’s been seen a lot both in the opera house with multiple presentations and also in movie theaters," "It's had a major run at the Met, but I think the nature of the Ring is that it is something that should re-explored every 10 or 15 or 20 years, and by the time we do this it will have been more than 15 years since the Lepage was first premiered. And also with the new music director, it's I think important to be able to offer a new artistic take that he will make his own"

Peter Gelb said : “That is manifestation of the understandable frustration, fear and anger that our musicians have over not having been paid for so many months but I don’t think it’s justified,” “You would think in reading these kind of criticisms from people that we get the wrong impression, that we have hired some perhaps replacement or scab orchestra, which is certainly not the case. We’ve hired a couple of musicians for these pay-per-view events in Europe to enhance the experience for the audience of what are basically vocal recitals, they’re not orchestral concerts. And from a practical point of view and the other union aspects, there’s no way we could have used Met musicians”
