This season is over and I’m not sure what’s programmed for next season. However, I suspect, from your URL that you might not realize I’m talking about the St. Petersburg, FLORIDA, city! I would love to be able to write about the St. Petersburg, RUSSIA, opera, though. I’ll bet it’s fantastic! All the best…Hilton

Thanks, Hilton, for the snaps! I am suffused with pride for St. Pete Opera and I treasure my time helping Mark and Jessie and all the others with the operas performed while I was active at the Palladium. But I can’t take the credit for getting the ball rolling! It was the Palladium’s earlier executive director, Mark Spano, who had the vision to see how successful opera could be at the Palladium. He put the production of Madama Butterfly together. To the surprise and delight of us all, we sold out both performances. We knew then that we were onto something!
