The Metropolitan Opera will double cast a portion of Verdi and Puccini revivals and shift some contemporary compositions away from Saturdays at the recommendation of a consultant trying to boost the company’s finances.

In Middletown, Ohio, many residents of JD Vance's hometown are bursting with pride at their native son’s accomplishments.

The Met Opera will not start a new production of Wagner’s Ring Cycle in 2025 and is not sure whether it will move ahead with plans to present a staging of the tetralogy by director Richard Jones.

The Butler County Sheriff's Office said in a statement that it is working on getting Dani better. Turns out it was all a hoax by somebody seeking free veterinary care, according to the Butler County Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office said an interview with the owner revealed the dog cut her throat on a barbed wire fence. And the part about Dani's snout being duct-taped was also a story, the Sheriff's Office said. CNN has called the Butler County Sheriff's Office, but has not heard back.

A pup named Dani, found on the side of an Ohio road with her mouth duct-taped shut and her throat cut, is doing well, according to the Butler County Sheriff's Office. She was rushed to a local veterinarian, where a chip on the dog was found to contain information for a shelter in Cincinnati. The Butler County Sheriff's Dog Warden is investigating the case and is asking for help from the community in locating Dani's owner. Meanwhile, the community has come together to not only help find the person responsible, but give Dani a home. I'm sickened by this and would rather give to assist instead of dwelling on the negativity," one person posted on Facebook.
