“The City Opera is too important for New York to lose. And one need not look back to the days of Beverly Sills to find an artistically vibrant company. As recently as the 2006-07 season, under Paul Kellogg’s leadership, the company was in good shape and gave six performances a week. This reminds us that the City Opera’s current difficulties stem not from a proven inability to function economically–though running it has never been easy–but from missteps by management.”
