I don't know about priorities but there are certainly barriers
as a for instance: Misty Copeland became the first 'black' Prima Ballerina at the Met in 2015. that's pretty recent history eh?
that's dancing to classical but it's not a stretch to see that it applies to playing and conducting ... while writers fared a bit better, but not by much ... one could posit that since they're unseen they're more accepted
with regards,
Follow Ups:
Just a slight correction. Misty Copland dances for the American Ballet Theater. They often take over the Metropolitan Opera house for their season in New York, and they dance elsewhere as well. The Met Opera has its own ballet company, which performs during the operas.
thank you ... yes the ABT
the first black principal dancer performing at the Met in it's history
*sigh* the more you know the more you knew
