Vote for your favorite Opera?
In her blog Real Clear Arts, Judith H. Dobrzynski writes that :
“The Chicago Opera Theater is back with what it calls the “People’s Opera,” which I wrote about here a few weeks ago. For $1 a vote, the COT allows people to choose one of three operas that will be performed during, in this case, its spring 2011 season.>>
What do you think? Is this a good way to pick an opera season?

I think this is a great idea — it puts the choice back into the hands of the fans of the art form. Not only does it give a sense of what subscribers/opera-goers are wanting to see, but it also helps raise some money as well.
