Major Italian labor union
CGIL said on Monday it hopes Rome opera house conductor Riccardo
Muti will reconsider his decision to resign, which he did in a
letter on Saturday to Rome Opera General Manager Carlo Fuortes.
Entertainment workers' union Fistel Cisl also said it hopes
Muti will rethink his decision to not conduct the remaining
season performances.
Rome's Opera has been plagued by recurring strikes which
have forced cancellations of performances, management turmoil,
and revenue loss of nearly 13 million euros in 2013 and over
300,000 euros as of July 2014.
"Current conditions (at the opera house) don't guarantee me
the serenity I need to lead successful productions," Muti said.
