I sincerely hope that doesn't happen -- but imagine that if it does, it will be a matter of dire necessity.
All arts organizations are severely challenged now, and while I doubt that the Met or the Philharmonic will disappear, some less favored ensembles may suffer the fate of the New York City Opera.
I think the most important thing here is to keep what we can alive.

Despair for me. I love musicians and OPERA...It would be hard to find a reason to live in NYC
DO you know MET and CH functioned in the 1918-19 pandemic and even Broadway Professional baseball lost 6 players in 2 years to the flu. I am bewildered.
I seem to remember you saying something about going into the City years ago. :-)
I didn't know that. I do know that some cities closed down then, and some didn't, and the ones that did ended up with a lower death rate. Part of the problem is that, apparently, the government suppressed news of the epidemic because they were afraid it would interfere with the war effort.
