Bitter split at San Diego Opera
Well, there is plenty of material here, but I still lean towards a comedic rendition! And you are so very right, Mr. Bauder, in saying that the real story lies with the president who was forced to resign. In fact, if this imaginary opera could be told from her perspective, it might capture other imaginations as well.— September 2, 2014 10:49 p.m.

Yes, of course. Dow Divas all-female chorus. With some husband spear-carriers more than a bit hapless, and perhaps an appearance by the IRS checking to see if the donations did not involve anything in return, such as cruises or weekends at spas.— September 2, 2014 10:43 p.m.

You two may have something. I could only come up with the very farcical: Dow Divas as a banshee-like group of Greek chorus girls of a certain age, divvying out disinformation instead of truth; a deathbed vow to maintain capital and only spend the interest betrayed, resulting in a corresponding restriction in the vocal range of a tenor. I would go with a heroic final scene of behind-the-scenes people who were there all the time making it work, making sure it still works, as a group deus ex machine super chorus. There are some definite empty places in the plot, but that's where it is. If only Gilbert & Sullivan were still around, it could be hilarious. Maybe John Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Paul Shaffer? Or Steve Martin & Edie Brickell?— September 2, 2014 4:31 p.m.

Could be an opportunity for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels II, if someone wanted to write the screen play.— September 2, 2014 7:42 a.m.
Summer of Wagner
Great view inside! Crisp details inspire the wish to experience more--I can readily understand why Mr. Reveles is doing such a great job. Thanks for the article.— September 2, 2014 7:07 a.m.
Bitter split at San Diego Opera
I read the Times article online, and was interested to see that Mrs. Cohen allowed the Times an interview when she hadn't given one to other news groups. The venom level was rather excessive--she is evidently furious that she did not get her way. It is a rather curious article, in that the follow-up questions weren't asked of Mrs. Cohen, and there were no further comments on what she had to say, and nothing was mentioned of the whereabouts of Mr. Campbell or his former wife, what they are now doing or planning to do, or the state of the several legal inquiries/law suits that I had thought were underway. Kind of a tease.— September 2, 2014 6:50 a.m.
Pimp hand strong in Chula
I hope the district won't be supplying VOSD with a list of students who are eligible for the free or reduced meals--because that would be a violation of privacy regulations, wouldn't it? But then, Sweetwater has been known to give out all sorts of info--such as when they passed along student contact data to some of the "universities" with which Ed Brand was trying to play Let's Make A Deal. So then, how would the students' qualification for the desktop computers be verified? I guess someone from the school would have to give the student or parent a form letter stating they qualified? Not much chance of misuse there, right?— August 29, 2014 11:36 p.m.

I am curious, just how does Kevin O'Neill fit into this group? Or do we have more than one local Kevin O'Neill?— August 29, 2014 3:25 p.m.
