Opera board not provided with information requested
Don, Carol. Carol Lazier. Not Barbara ;-) Thanks!— April 4, 2014 9:52 p.m.
Opera board not provided with information requested
As someone with some knowledge of the what happens at the opera - eastlaker - there is no lawsuit by the staff of the opera. But things are untenable and the staff has received no direction on how to prepare for the 2015 season. There is no leadership from the Campbells who I am told are avoiding staff and barely speaking. ArtsAnon - the staff, crew and cast are the most professional people in the world and would never do anything to affect the art, artists or the ticket buyers experience in the theatre. They sense urgency, and are frustrated as hell, but rest assured they treat the stage like a temple and would never use it further their cause. They would be delighted to meet and talk with opera goers to address their anger and concern and will be inviting dialogue about what the future may hold before and after each performance. Don - finally, keep up the good work. Many on the staff look to you for information as none comes from management.— April 2, 2014 10:52 p.m.
Opera board still looking for donors
If I recall correctly Ian's contract is thru 2017 - nice chunk of change. Explains why friends received a letter collecting on their future pledge - they need $ in the bank to pay everyone. But the comment "zero dollars — no payment, nothing," - is not entirely true then.— March 31, 2014 9:21 p.m.
Opera board still looking for donors
Don, First off, great coverage. Much appreciated. I'd go back to your source - recent KPBS report revealed the Campbell's contract. There is no severance package for them but I believe (perhaps incorrectly) San Diego Opera will be legally obligated to pay them through to the end of their contracts if they vote to shut down. The Campbells would just need to get in line like everyone else with a contract with the opera house. But would they be in front of the singers, or behind them?— March 31, 2014 8:50 p.m.
