华盛顿，1月23日（路透社） – 格莱美获奖歌剧巨星蕾妮·弗莱明已退出5月在肯尼迪中心的演出。此次退出正值自唐纳德·特朗普总统接管该华盛顿艺术机构以来，一系列演出被取消的浪潮。
肯尼迪中心网站上的一则消息称，弗莱明原计划5月与国家交响乐团合作演出，现因”日程冲突”不得不退出。

为何此事重要
特朗普去年自封为肯尼迪中心主席，并在董事会中安插了盟友。12月，该机构董事会投票决定将其更名为”唐纳德·J·特朗普与约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术纪念中心”，简称”特朗普肯尼迪中心”。
此后，许多团体和艺术家因反对共和党领导人的接管而退出该中心演出。民主党人士指出，该中心名称由国会确立，特朗普的更名行为不具法律效力。约翰·F·肯尼迪的家族谴责此举损害了这位遇刺总统的遗产。
关键引语
该机构网站上的消息称：”蕾妮·弗莱明遗憾地表示，由于日程冲突，她必须退出2026年5月与国家交响乐团的音乐会。新的独奏演员和演出曲目将在日后公布，其余节目保持不变。”
背景
去年，弗莱明辞去了该中心名誉艺术顾问的职务，理由是机构前任领导层的离职。

WASHINGTON, Jan 23 (Reuters) – Grammy Award-winning opera star Renee Fleming has withdrawn from performances in May at the Kennedy Center, with her withdrawal coming during a wave of cancellations at the Washington institution since its takeover by President Donald Trump.
A message on the Kennedy Center’s website said Fleming, who had been scheduled to appear with the National Symphony Orchestra in May, had to withdraw “due to a scheduling conflict.”

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT
Trump named himself chairman of the Kennedy Center and filled its board with his allies last year. In December the institution’s board voted to rename it the Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, or Trump Kennedy Center for short.
Since then, many groups and artists have withdrawn from the center, citing the Republican leader’s takeover. Democrats, noting that the center’s name was established by Congress, have said Trump’s rebranding has no force of law. John F. Kennedy’s family denounced the renaming move as undermining the slain president’s legacy.
KEY QUOTES
“Renee Fleming regrets that, due to a scheduling conflict, she must withdraw from her May 2026 concerts with the NSO,” the message on the institution’s website said. “A new soloist and repertoire will be announced at a later date, and the remainder of the program remains unchanged.”
CONTEXT
Last year, Fleming left her role as artistic adviser-at-large at the center, citing the departures of the institution’s previous leadership.
