The fame conductor Leonard Slatkin was driven out of the Metropolitan Opera last week because of bad reviews he got for conducting Verdi's La Traviata. Interestingly, it was Mr. Slatkin himself who generated the bad reviews. In his personal blog he confessed that he wan't a "Verdian" and the score of La Traviata was completely new to him. Worse yet, he admitted to hide his lack of knowledge from the members of the orchestra. As Eric Felten said: "Posting sensitive information on the Internet is not generally the bestway to keep it a secret."
