Welcome

After a fascinating luncheon where Linda gave a great talk on what it takes to produce an opera season, we all decided that there is an audience for, and thirst for, knowing what goes on behind the scenes here. We joked that, if anything, we can post some funny disaster stories, like when Sean got a truckload of scenery for a show and no screws to put it together. True story... and I think he spent well over $200 in screws that morning while the crew waited around backstage at The Bushnell.

So here we go, snail-pacing our way into the modern era of blogging. Every week we hope to have a different member of the staff share with you a bit of what we do so that when you see the finished product on stage, you'll have also seen some of the pieces that went into making it magical for you. We hope you'll check in on us every once in a while. We hope you find it interesting, educational, and maybe a bit amusing. Leave us a comment, share this with your friends, and we'll see you at the opera!
