Mathias Jr. David Rockefeller Janice L. Murray Vice President and Treasurer Honorary Chairman Robert A. Scalapino Lilita V. Gusts Secretary Cyrus R. Vance Glenn E. Watts John C. Campbell, Senior Fellow Emeritus, died on July 16, 2000. John first came to the Council in 1941 as a newly minted Ph.D. on a Rockefeller Fellowship. Over the next four decades he alternated between gov- ernment service and, happily for us, increasingly longer stints at the Council. His main scholarly focus was on eastern Europe, especially the Balkans, and the Middle East, on which he wrote extensively. He was Di- rector of Political Studies (1955–62), Editor of the Council’s Policy Books, and Senior Research Fellow from 1962 until his retirement in 1978, serving in his final year as Director of Studies. He was a first-rate scholar, editor, analyst, and policymaker—all combined with a sense of humor that was the enduring delight of his friends and colleagues. John’s integrity, nonpartisanship, and humanity represented the best traditions of the Council. We will miss him. *Appointed in 2000 by the Board of Directors. †Elected in 1996 by the Board of Directors to serve a five-year term as Chairman, in accordance with By-Law VII.

This report adds detail to the findings and recommendations in our interim report dated August 1998, and strengthens our previous recommendations regarding the importance of social and economic research on the impacts of information technology to inform key policy decisions. PITAC members are strongly encouraged by and enthusiastically supportive of the Administration’s Information Technology for the Twenty-First Century (IT2) initiative. This initiative is a vital first step in increasing funding for long-term, high-risk information technology research and develop- ment. Increased Federal support is critical to meeting the challenge of capturing the opportunities available from information technology in the 21st Century through appropriate research and development. The economic and strategic importance of information technology and the unique role of the Federal Government in sponsoring information technology research make it necessary to increase Federal support over a period of years to ensure our Nation’s future well-being. We hope that our recommendations will be helpful as you consider the priorities for Federal invest- ments.

  • FY19 Annual Report View Report
    Annual Report 2018–19 3 Introduction 5 Metropolitan Opera Board of Directors 6 Season Repertory and Events 14 Artist Roster 16 The Financial Results 20 Our Patrons On the cover: Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes a bow after his first official performance as Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer Music Director PHOTO: JONATHAN TICHLER / MET OPERA 2 Introduction The 2018–19 season was a historic one for the Metropolitan Opera. Not only did the company present more than 200 exiting performances, but we also welcomed Yannick Nézet-Séguin as the Met’s new Jeanette Lerman- Neubauer Music Director. Maestro Nézet-Séguin is only the third conductor to hold the title of Music Director since the company’s founding in 1883. I am also happy to report that the 2018–19 season marked the fifth year running in which the company’s finances were balanced or very nearly so, as we recorded a very small deficit of less than 1% of expenses. The season opened with the premiere of a new staging of Saint-Saëns’s epic Samson et Dalila and also included three other new productions, as well as three exhilarating full cycles of Wagner’s Ring and a full slate of 18 revivals. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 13th season, with ten broadcasts reaching more than two million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (box office, media, and presentations) totaled $121 million. As in past seasons, total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. The new productions in the 2018–19 season were the work of three distinguished directors, two having had previous successes at the Met and one making his company debut.
