As word is getting out about Minnesota Opera’s inexplicable choice to cut its orchestra, Opera Orchestras across the country are expressing their dismay. Statements of support and solidarity for the Musicians of the Minnesota Opera Orchestra have been streaming in, including most recently from Houston Grand Opera Orchestra, Chicago Lyric Opera Orchestra and MET Orchestra Musicians.
We want to thank our colleagues in these exceptional opera orchestras for their steadfast encouragement and support as we continue to work toward negotiating a 4-year agreement that assures the future of our orchestra and a world-class Minnesota Opera.
Please let opera leadership know if, like the MET, Lyric and Houston opera orchestras, you believe a great opera company must fully support its orchestra! 612-342-9583 | rtaylor@mnopera.org
