The closing of Grand Opera in San Diego is a tremendous loss of talent ,great music, culture and “class” for San Diego city and county. Unfortunately, Grand Opera is expensive ,and without government support as some opera companies receive in Europe, it has obviously become unsunstainable in most American cities. The demise of our precious San Diego Opera company leaves a tremendous vacuum , but hopefully after the dust settles a new musical prophet will arise to fill a portion of our loss. While our community can not financially sustain “Grand “ opera, it may be possible to support a new and less ambitious opera company. A new company to perform in a smaller auditorium (Symphony Hall size) with less instruments, simpler sets and costumes. There are many talented and experienced singers available at a lower tier of cost who could continue to bring San Diego contemporary and classical operas in a new venue. With a more accessible budget, tickets might be more affordable, and attract a greater cross section of our community. Sheldon Merel
