MUSIC Posted: August 30, 2019 5:06 am

“In general, [new Seattle Opera general director Christina Schippelmann] and others say, the absence of women in top positions results more from systemic factors than intentional discrimination.

Arts managers work long hours but may not earn enough to afford a nanny or to have the other parent stay at home.” – The Seattle Times
