Warlikowski on a Certain Type of Fan

Found in the extremely interesting NY Times profile of director Krzysztof Warlikowski:

In the interview, Mr. Warlikowski focused his ire more on a certain subset of star-struck audience members. “The worst public in the opera are these obsessed gays,” he said. “All these rich guys with nothing to do in their life, just following Anna Netrebko or Jonas Kaufmann on all continents. This is not a real audience for me.”
