Opera in the Park 2010 was a HUGE success! And we do mean huge, as a record setting audience of 14,000 people came out despite soaring temperatures and the threat of storms! I think it’s safe to say they were aptly rewarded for their bravery, especially according to these stellar reviews:
- 77 Square: “Rain-free Opera in the Park gives a sneek peak into next season”
- The Isthmus: “Singing draws record crowd to Opera in the Park”
- The Well-Tempered Ear: “From crowd to sound, Opera in the Park scores big success”
- Culturosity by Brava: “Opera Before the Storm”

The evening was spectacular! We were, however, empathetic to Mr. Dixon's plight during those two phrases where his voice failed him. Otherwise, a flawless performance.
