48. Opera House

Wed Jul 23, 2025, 08:21 AM

Wednesday

A bunch of us have a friend in the Washington Opera Chorus. Whenever he's in an opera, we go to the Opera House. We went to see Porgy and Bess. The tickets started out at $150, but by the day of the performance we went to, the tickets were down to $14. And there were still lots of empty seats. I can imagine how it's going to be if the Opera House is renamed. When people don't go to the performances, it is hard to pay the performers. Eventually, with the way things are going, they will have to lay off performers.
