I hope the next mayor sees the beauty in Civic Center and revitalize the area. I loved to attend symphony, opera house, and Asian Art museum. It is plagued with drugs and violence. I would love to come back to this beautiful area.

Sad. I remember when they did 10 operas per season

[@matthewtravisano1097]

Opera is very expensive to produce. I can remember 12 operas per season. Sigh.

[@samueljaramillo4221]

It may be sad but it’s reality. Opera is getting very expensive to produce and there is less money to go around. Opera in America is not subsidized as it is in many European cities.

[@papagen00]

yes 10 opera masterpieces, not new woke operas.

[@H-bv1xt]

People can barely make ends meet with the current inflation. Tickets in US are twice the cost of Europe and to top it all off we get audience members who clap, eat, and talk in the middle of the music.

Lamentável. Esqueceram do Sesquicentenario da gloriosa estreia da Opera Salvador Rosa de Carlos Gomes no Teatro Carlos Fenice de Gênova. Foi maior sucesso sucesso que o Guarani. A aria mais solicitada pelo registro de de baixo é esposo di padre, la joia serena. Não esquecer a mia picciarela gravação do Caruso.

[@marcoantonioseta6102]

Coitado de Carlos Gomes...nem aqui no Brasil se encenam as suas óperas, imaginem no exterior !

[@ivanscotton6163]

@@marcoantonioseta6102 por incrível que pareça ele é mais apresentado lá fora que no Brasil. E existe um ótimo vídeo da citada Opera com a Opera de Brastilava e orquestra Internacional da Itália 🇮🇹. O problema maior aqui é o baixo nível de nossas Emissoras oficiais.

In South Africa almost nothing. After so busy in the 1970 80 and begin 90.

[@postmodernrecycler]

When Idomeneo and Un Ballo are the most "adventurous" offerings . . . yikes. Let's just do a full season of La Bohème and get this over with.

[@matthewtravisano1097]

There’s a new work and “Tristan”. I’m sad it’s down to 6, but there have been worse seasons by far.
