Venice opera house drops incoming music director after nepotism remarks
Brief
Beatrice Venezi's appointment had been marred in controversy since being announced last September, prompting orchestra members to go on strike.
In her interview with the Argentine daily, Venezi said Giorgia Meloni was a "powerful, competent woman" and confirmed the two had known each other since before Meloni launched her political career. However, Venezi said she had never been involved in politics and did not wish to be.
