Reports of the San Diego Opera's demise have been greatly exaggerated. On Monday, the opera company announced its decision to remain open after reaching and surpassing its goal to raise $1 million by May 19.
As recently as last month, the situation looked dire for the financially troubled company, which had plans to shut down if the crowdfunding goal was not reached.
But the impressive outpouring of financial support from the community enabled the company to announce its 2015 season, which will feature 3 operas: La Boheme, Don Giovanni, and John Luther Adams' Nixon in China.
"The public spoke, we listened, and we're open for business," said Board President Carol Lazier, "and do we have some great news to share with you!"
