I’ve posted a description of my Fall, 2010 Opera Class and the optional San Francisco Opera Performance the class will attend. In the menu at the top of the page to your left, please click on 2010 Courses to read about “Bringing Down the House!”
I’m really having fun preparing it. Any questions or comments? Let me know what you think!
There has been a great community outcry, since we learned that the lease was taken away from The Rialto Cinemas who will be forced to move in a couple of months. Ky Boyd, the owner, has served the community in more ways than I can list. For those of us who love Opera, Ky brought the Met Live in HD transmissions ( at great risk and expense) to Santa Rosa, Sonoma County and beyond.
Ky seems to be successful in everything he does, which obviously was his undoing in a climate where greed and self interest reign supreme. We will miss the Rialto Ciinemas but look forward to following Ky wherever he wants to move his theater.
You can show your support for Ky and the Rialto Cinemas and demonstrate how important he is to the community by attending the presentation by the City of Santa Rosa of a Special City of Santa Rosa Recognition on Tuesday, May 4th at the Council Chambers, City Hall, 100 Santa Rosa Avenue. The presentation will be at the top of the agenda.
