Since then, Netrebko has made her Instagram profile private. Gergiev has been an active supporter and friend of Putin since the early 1990s. In another recent Instagram post, she published a photo of herself with conductor Valery Gergiev, who mentored her and helped introduce her to international audiences. In one post, she said she opposed the invasion, but in an accompanying story (which vanished within 24 hours), she called people from the West seeking repudiations of Putin hypocrites and "human s***s" who "are as evil as blind agressors.
Over the past several days, Netrebko made several posts and stories on Instagram that had varied in tone. In an interview published Tuesday, Gelb told The New York Times, "In the case of somebody who is so closely associated with Putin, denouncing the war is not enough." In the days leading up to Thursday's announcement, Gelb had indicated publicly that it was unlikely that the Met would reach a resolution with Netrebko. I have therefore decided to take a step back from performing for the time being." Within the Zurich press announcement, Netrebko said: "This is not a time for me to make music and perform. Over the past several days, Netrebko has also been dropped or has withdrawn from planned performances at several other significant international opera houses, including La Scala in Milan the Zurich Opera in Switzerland and the Bavarian State Opera in Munich.
