My two cents: people ARE interested in opera. We opera singers are just not being good sales people…and that’s our fault. When was the last time you invited someone who’s not your direct family or friend to an opera? When was the last time that you taught a new stranger you met a fun fact about classical music? If you’re not doing these things I’m very sorry to tell you, but you are a part of the problem! If you want more work and if you want opera to have the respect it’s due then YOU need to start by talking about it more. YOU need to be a good seller. And it’s really that easy. The interest IS there, we’re just not capturing it. Are you doing these things?
