The Orange County Register today reported that the Santa Ana-based Opera Pacific "will cancel the remainder of its 2008-2009 season and will likely close down operations for good."
That is bad news for the O.C., but also for composer Ricky Ian Gordon, whose new opera "The Grapes of Wrath" was to play there this season. Gordon still is holding out hope, but a West Coast premiere might now have to happen at another opera house.
but you can hear "Grapes" in Pittsburgh at the Pittsburgh Opera starting next week. We will have much coverage on it, so stay tuned.
