The Detroit Symphony comes out of a damaging strike with a new outreach initiative aimed at suburban audiences. New York City Opera is on the ropes as deficits continue to mount, ticket sales drag, and musicians are calling for the company to do Carmen. By now we know the Philadelphia Orchestras has filed for bankruptcy. How bad is it in Philly? The fact that so many of their top shelf musicians are taking auditions elsewhere should be a hint. Need more proof just read this.
