My parents have been patrons and season ticket holders to the Opera Pacifc. I secretly looked forward to the performances that they could not attend because that meant I had free seats!
In fact, I was really looking forward to Grapes of Wrath in January. Yes, of John Steinbeck fame. But alas, OP has fallen victim to the hard economic times according to the OC Register. OP’s Web site has no indication of its demise yet.
Too bad, because I has just started getting over the “opera is boring” hump and began to appreciate it.
Funny to think that this past July a head hunter for OP called to ask if I’d be interested in a marketing-communications job there. Obviously, I did not pursue it.
Some pics from a donor appreciation event for Mozart’s Magic Flute this past season.
