‘Nothing Stops Ukrainian Art’ – Met Opera Chief Peter Gelb

Peter Gelb, general manager of New York’s Metropolitan Opera, told Kyiv Post about the institution’s support for Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion. He reflected on Ukraine’s resilience, the role of culture in wartime, and the new opera “Mothers of Kherson,” which depicts the abduction of Ukrainian children by Russia. Gelb said art can preserve memory and bear witness long after headlines fade.
