  • Looking Somewhere in the Middle
    OUR FIRM LMM GROUP CLIENTS TRANSACTIONS NEWS & INTEL CONTACT IN THIS SECTION LOOKING SOMEWHERE IN THE Executive Perspective IT Index MIDDLE News Room Quarterly Earnings March 10, 2006 Scoreboard Spotlight by: Kelly Holman Tracker VDI Accel-KKR LLC didn't set out to specialize in middle-market private equity buyouts in the high-tech sector. Its founders, an Subscribe unusual combination of dealmakers, were focused in 2000 on the bright prospects of the Internet, just as many other investors and entrepreneurs were. But that vista quickly turned as dark as night when the dot-com bubble burst, and Accel-KKR suddenly needed to make a rapid course correction. It did. Today the Menlo Park, Calif.-based firm has made a name for itself acquiring small but fast-growing technology companies. Even as top-tier buyout groups lick their chops over the possibility of doing deals involving big software corporations, Accel- KKR keeps its attention on midmarket and small tech outfits with $15 million to $150 million in annual revenue: software developers, hardware makers, Internet firm and information technology services businesses. To be sure, it's hardly the only middle-market private equity group interested in technology businesses - a number of buyout groups, large and small, have made technology their core investment focus. But Accel-KKR's board and the background it represents set it apart. Members include financial engineering icons Henry Kravis and George Roberts of Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts & Co.; KKR partner Marc Lipschultz; veteran venture capitalist and Accel managing partner Jim Breyer; and former Wells Fargo & Co. chief executive Paul Hazen.

    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.
