The Met says that Mr Slatkin withdrawn "for personal reasons". Douglas Sheldon, Mr. Slatkin’s representative at Columbia Artists Management, gives more explanations “has decided to withdraw from the Metropolitan Opera production of Verdi’s La Traviata, believing that his artistic contribution, which he feels he has thoroughly prepared, does not however coincide with the musical ideas of the ensemble. He wishes the members of the orchestra and musical colleagues well for the remaining performances.” in an article published today in New York Times.
