I can assure you it was a drop in the bucket compared to the
conductor and soloists fees. Management is all too happy to nickel
and dime the orchestra to death, while paying exorbitant fees to
mediocre (or usually incompetent) conductors and lackluster soloists
who look good in tight black dresses.
I'm just sick of it...
