We raised a lot of money and sold out the last couple shows, but the lions share came from a single donor and replacement of the director was a condition.
She cited the failure to even contact other opera companies which have dealt successfully with similar problems. We had people from them fly in at their own expense to talk about how they went about it.
Had to go over the directors head to even hold additional meetings on the subject.
Awesome story. Good for you. People should be exposed to opera and it looks like you good people are making sure that happens. Bad management has a huge impact on any operation, no matter the venue.
