While You Were Out

Over the weekend:

- Connecticut Opera closes down after 67 seasons. This closure appears to be permanent.

- The dialogue continues that the Met movies might not be all that, and might actually damage the art form. You know where I stand on this one...

- An opera premieres in a bar after the power goes out combining two of my favorite things in the life; opera and alcohol.

- We touched on it before, but more about Paris Opera's Phantom Voices of the Opera recordings being unearthed.

- Not only did Don Quixote open here on Valentine's Day but San Diego Opera's production of The Pearl Fishers premiered at Opera Colorado to rave reviews.

That brings the list too how many Opera houses closing their doors?
What about a bailout for the arts as a gift to the people?

A total of 3 so far -- Opera Pacific, Baltimore Opera and now this one.

Sadly, I'm afraid this list is going to continue to grow.
