Washington National Opera may move out of Kennedy Center due to Trump ‘takeover’

[Guno צְבִי]

The Washington National Opera (WNO) is considering moving out of the Kennedy Center, the company’s home since the US’s national performing arts center opened in 1971.

The possibility has been forced on the company as a result of the “takeover” of the center by Donald Trump, according to WNO’s artistic director, Francesca Zambello. The president declared himself chair of the institution in February, sacking and replacing its board and leadership.

Leaving the Kennedy Center is a possible scenario after a collapse in box office revenue and “shattered” donor confidence in the wake of Trump’s takeover, said Zambello.

Kid Rock cracks me up. He is so angry that college girls won't sleep with him, but he has not had a hit during their lifetime. He is just an old drunk.

They'll be having pro wrestling and wet tee shirt contests there in a couple of months.

Country and rap music concerts.

God I wish that were only a joke... Though I doubt there will be any rap music.
