The Symphony got out of the opera business in the mid-70s. Opera is pretty hard to sustain in Duluth. Current companies are struggling too. Like you, I took in a few Met performances at Northrup -- always exciting. I've gone to a few of the current simulcast theater presentations from the Met in the last couple of years. Very nice, but not quite like being there. Thanks for writing. -- JimJim Heffernanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04388986747065569089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676257508484188930.post-26524421716954054992010-09-25T15:08:39.502-05:002010-09-25T15:08:39.502-05:00Hi Jim

I made it to the Met spring tour performances at Northrup Auditorium in the cities a couple of times before they were discontinued.<br />All I get now is an occasional performance on public TV. <br />Erick HAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
