From what I understand Santa Fe is a good company, and like any others they go through cycles. Having gone through the process of getting a work visa for Hawaiian Opera Theatre a few years back, I think I shall remain in Canada. The kilt business keeps me rather busy, I had to make a lot of arrangements and planning to be able to do this gig.
Tonight we do it again.
The set was originally built in Argentina, found it's way to Baltimore Opera, but they went through rough times and Edmonton Opera bought it. It has now the property of Carolina opera. It's next stop is in Toledo Ohio, then off to Charlotte.
Robert: Congratulations on the great review. It must take a lot of artful coordination and work to accommodate over 100 performers. Good luck on tonight's performance.
Yes, the Santa Fe company is widely respected, but I know more about kilts than I do opera, so that gives you some idea of my ability to judge. 
Too bad you don't work in the Mexican opera. You wouldn't need a work visa to help out in Santa Fe - just walk across the border, ... or use one of the drug tunnels.

I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
