bankrupt opera
This breaks my heart:

The Baltimore Opera was a great organization that put on really world class productions. I saw Flying Dutchman there and was blown away. At least while I was there, they also had a really innovative marketing department that got really good results and convinced young people and those who wouldn't normally attend such things to buy tickets and enjoy.
I hope that they're able to fund raise and resurrect the company in the future.
