Latonia Moore in Aida, San Diego Opera 2013
As a small presenter of orchestral and chamber music concerts with
ambition to present small opera productions, a statement by the
president of the San Diego Opera regarding the announcement of closing
after 2014 season grabbed my attention.
"With upwards of 280
people working on a production and up to $19,000 for one lead singer per
performance (because they are in demand worldwide). Add the cost of
sets and costumes, and other support. Grand opera is no small
undertaking."
Thanks
John Malveaux
