Press Gets Wind of Our Plight

Media throughout Arizona has gotten wind of troubles at the Opera. The Arizona Daily Star has published an article that goes into detail.

From the Arizona Daily Star:

Mozart’s “The Magic Flute” won’t be so magical if the Arizona Opera Orchestra goes on strike. That’s the veiled threat the musicians made in an email sent Sunday afternoon to news agencies throughout the state, including the Arizona Daily Star.

According to the email from the Arizona Opera Orchestra Musicians Association , the nearly year-old contract talks between the musicians and opera management disintegrated Sunday.

Opera General Manager Debra Harrison “swept away basic guarantees to the musicians that endanger the opening of the opera’s ‘The Magic Flute’ in Tucson on March 1 and its opening in Phoenix March 6,” according to the email.
