> You can chose not to reply, I don't care, but the above quote combined with the fact that classical record divisions of labels are being slashed or eliminated along with the need for heavy subsidization of opera just shows how little interest there is. It is dying if not already dead. It's not like I take joy in this, but to 99% of Americans it falls on dead ears. It's a bitter pill to swallow if you love opera and operatic singing but it is true... sorry to break the news to you. > +++Well, some of us are out there in the trenches teaching a whole new generation of students to love classical music. We may never reach the masses -- not everyone reads Gourmet Magazine either, but it's not dead by a long shot!
