From Judge Analisa Torres's decision in Netrebko v. Metropolitan Opera Ass'n, Inc.:
In the [earlier order], the Court found that Netrebko did not allege direct evidence of discriminatory intent…. Netrebko contends, however, that the Court overlooked at least one allegation in the complaint—that the Met replaced Netrebko with exclusively non-Russian artists in the roles for which she had originally been cast….
Among other allegations, [Netrebko] claims that the Met promoted the fact that it replaced her, a Russian, with a Ukrainian artist—and that Gelb even "admitted that [the new performer's] Ukrainian national origin was one reason the Met selected her for the role." Netrebko further alleges that "the Met did not ask artists who were not of Russian origin about their views on Russia's actions or ask them to make statements about the war in Ukraine or denouncing Putin," even though some artists who performed at the Met had "received support from," or even "expressed support for, Putin and/or the Russian government." Together, such allegations support the inference that Netrebko's replacement by non-Russian artists occurred under circumstances giving rise to at least a "minimal" inference of discrimination.
Here's more from the post about last year's decision, which also discusses Netrebko's other claims (as to which the judge didn't change her mind):
