Renewals

We mailed subscription renewals this week. This is a big task for the staff. After the season is approved by the board, Aric has to build the season into ProVenue which includes setting up each performance, seating chart, price structure and moving last year’s buyers into their respective nights and seats. After he’s done that, he produces a report which I then convert into invoices and mail along with a letter and flyer about the upcoming operas. For some reason our lovely ticketing system will not recognize that we have two theaters on our series, so Aric had the unenviable task of manually changing the theater on everyone's record. And he only complained once. :)

We’re all excited about next season and we hope you are too. We’ll be back at the Palace in Waterbury for one performance of Don Giovanni, followed by two of the same opera at our “home” at The Bushnell. Then we’ll be back in the Belding Theater at The Bushnell (what a great intimate space!) for two operas: Daughter of the Regiment (Donizetti is my favorite composer) and La bohème.

Great season, great renewal mailing, great week at the office.

Have a good weekend!
