San Diego Opera Article Roundup

No matter your opinion on the possible closure of the San Diego Opera, one thing is clear: there are a LOT of opinions about it. And I, for one, am simply happy that the arts (whether it’s Opera or any other art) still manage to garner so much interest and conversation from all parts of the community. I could not possibly hope to link every single article on the subject, but here are a few of the many recent articles:
