Baltimore Opera Company Filing For Bankruptcy Protection

“After 58 years and more than 200 productions, the Baltimore Opera Company will file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy-law protection today amid dwindling ticket sales and contributions. The remaining two productions of the 2008-2009 season, Rossini’s The Barber of Seville and Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, have been canceled. Ticket-holders will not receive refunds.”
