Dear City Council,
I am writing to thank the PCC committee, and each of you personally for helping Opera San Luis Obispo market our fall
production of The Magic Flute. Please know that our ability to receive these funds has made it possible to slowly, but
steadily grow tourism, or, as I like to call it in our industry, "pilgrimage" to the Opera San Luis Obispo experience.
Together we are establishing the city of San Luis Obispo as an international destination for opera. Last May you helped
OperaSLO achieve something we have never experienced in our 32-year history: (1) expanding to three performances,
and (2) putting a "sold out" sign on one of those performances!
This fall OperaSLO is again innovating to meet the needs of opera lovers around the world as well as our local loyal
patrons: we are directing the forces of Grand Opera production to children and families with two performances of
Mozart's masterpiece The Magic Flute that will for the first time be presented over two matinees: Saturday and Sunday,
October 13 and 14.
If you have not had the chance to see an OperaSLO performance, please click one of the links below that will take you to
a short collage of our recent work. Those videos are our message to the world "exactly" what's happening in the world
of opera, in magical town of San Luis Obispo. Thank you for your support. Thank you for caring.
With kindest regards,
Brian.
