Good to read. Detroit Opera House is one of the most beautiful theaters in the country.

Rising to the Encore: Detroit Opera Rebounds Through Strategic Community Alliances
After weathering the loss of over $1 million in government grant funding and substantial revenue shortfalls that threatened its programming, the Detroit Opera House is staging a turnaround. Central to this recovery is an aggressive expansion of civic alliances, from media collaborations with Detroit PBS and 90.9 WRCJ to grassroots engagements like Opera Goes to Church and archival showcases with the Detroit Public Library. Alongside free park performances and music therapy programs with Henry Ford Health, these multifaceted partnerships have stabilized the company's financial footing and safeguarded its upcoming seasons.

Sometimes your “vacation” is not a vacation but is still rejuvenating. Dr. Hicks and Orson took a trip to The Santa Fe Opera for “Industry Week” to hear auditions, meet with other industry professionals, and see a few of the season’s offerings. Some tremendous talent on the mesa this summer. 5/5. Would recommend!
