You know I'm on the committee....and we go into that business again next
season. Maybe we can post up the current contract for the DO on the
woodwind.org site and let folks take a look at what musicians call "a
living"...in one of the biggest opera companies in the US. Don't forget that
we did break ground on our new $275 million hall....and will perform our
first opera in that facility in 2009. Well...we will if the opera company is
still in business.....
