About

I need not explain what BREAKING NEWS is all about to any readers. If there is an announcement or developing story of CRITICAL importance it will be placed here before filing into one of the sections below.

IN THE HOUSES is where you go when you want to find out who is doing what in which house down the road. But  perhaps more importantly, what happened the night before! Posts that are not informational are filed here.

A section that will be most useful is THE COMMAND CENTER. This is where all informational posts will be archived, including the answers to questions submitted by readers.

For those who are directly involved with opera in all its facets there will be THE MASTER CLASS. I mean anyone. Set designers, lighting designers, costuming, make up artists, conductors, singers. What experience, guidance, techniques, et al, senior artists are prepared to offer to subsequent generations will be found here. These posts will not be edited in any manner (other than perhaps the odd translation error), as they are the direct words from these esteemed artists.

Naturally COMMANDOpera will avail any artist or house the global reach of the INTERMISSION section. Without question the global opera going public has long been without a direct connection to the houses and stars regarding upcoming performances, special events, promotions, etc. This is where you go to get hooked up.
