Richard Grenell: “Having an exclusive relationship has been extremely expensive and limiting in choice and variety.”

Shame on you, @AmericanIdol. Inviting @Lin_Manuel to be a mentor to young people 3 weeks after Lin pulled his show from the Kennedy Center because he can’t work with Republicans is an obvious move to support political intolerance.

Having an exclusive Opera was just not financially smart. And our patrons clearly wanted a refresh.

I pledge to serve this country and its interests with honor and distinction; I pledge to respect its constitution; and I pledge to uphold its values.

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to part ways with the WNO due to a financially challenging relationship.
