Shocking allegations have arisen at Los Angeles Opera overnight. I first caught wind of this yesterday via Twitter, and then the video below popped up. Are illegal and/or unauthorized substances rampant at the company? If so, for how long? Countertenor Darryl Taylor, one of the singers at the center of the controversy, admits to his involvement before angrily declaring, “Don’t judge me!”
Footage includes blunt denials from Joshua Winograde, LA Opera’s Senior Director Artistic Planning, who tries to deflate the accusations before they expand further.
Watch and judge for yourself.

Many of us have suspected this for a long time. It appears “Mozart in the Jungle” culture is rampant in L.A. too!

Some people expect art to require great sacrifice. Clearly, there are others you just want to take the easy way.
