Shocker: San Diego Opera to fold
I am a young opera lover in my 20's with many friends in the chorus, and I am absolutely heartbroken by this news. As a music educator, I have taken 83 kids to see the opera as a part of their amazing outreach program. I just took 31 kids to see "A Masked Ball." What an incredible thing to witness- to see the opera come alive in front of them, more powerful than the images in the pages of their books- to hear the sound of a well trained voice wrap around them, more powerful than a YouTube video I can pull up to illustrate our lessons. I saw 31 pairs of eyes light up with the wonder and mystery of it all. This is such a tragic loss for our community, for our already imperiled music education programs in this city, and for the many musicians employed by the opera. There are truly no words.— March 19, 2014 10:07 p.m.
