College to spin off Ohio Light Opera

The College of Wooster is spinning off its professional opera company into a not-for-profit organization.

[Ian McCloud]

My family have been supporters and graduates of the College of Wooster for over 80 years. One thing that irritates me greatly is the exhorbitant fee $45.00 charged for each performance of the Ohio Light Opera. Having enjoyed very few of these fine light operas because of cost, I have observed that this organization very definitely caters to an elderly, wealthy class. What is the college's take on this? Upon my death and other members of my extended Wooster family, our willed contributions to Wooster will be biased toward a calcuated, proportional cut based on the Ohio Light Opera ticket prices. this will amount to more than enough to build a new dormitory. This may seem spitefuly small in character but is matter of strong principle. How many promising individuals, especially alumnae of modest means, have been denied the pleasure of fine musicals because of the unreasonable costs?

art is ONLY for elites. they do not respect or care about people different from themselves. in fact judgmental of modest income individuals, it makes them feel superior..which they are not.
