Opera -- Early and Often
Cincinnati Opera will have an earlier start time of 7:30 p.m. in the coming 2008 Festival Season. The change is to accommodate its older patrons, as well as those traveling distances to attend the opera, the company says on its Web site.
Prelude dinners and Opera Insights will also start 30 minutes earlier. Sunday matinees will begin at 3:00 p.m.
What do you think of the change?

Post a Comment*I don't think 30 minutes will make a great deal of difference for me, but it will be nice to get home 30 minutes earlier; operas can get quite long!
I wish the CSO would consider a 7:30 starting time. The concert on New Years Eve started at that time and the entire timing of the evening-before concert activities and after concert activities-just seemed to mesh better without detracting form the concert itself.
I totally agree with the above posters. LOVE earlier start times!
I am thrilled they are now offering a matinee. I subscribed for 20 years, but often was too exhausted after a long day at work to make it through the end of the operas. Finally I gave up altogether. I may be back.
