Yikes - I hadn’t, thanks John. But pretty much everything I’ve heard is that it will take a miracle to save the company. Mortier was to have been that miracle …
And, um, I’m also thinking that there aren’t so many financial institutions in this current economic climate who would be interested in helping a bankrupt opera company restructure.

And even if a financial institution was interested, that corporation is busy asking the government for a billion dollar bailout. It will be interesting to see who is left standing come next fall.
