S.F. Opera Director Addresses Financial Future
"General Director David Gockley acknowledged the obvious truth in a brief address to the audience before Sunday's opening performance of 'La Bohème': The financial picture at the San Francisco Opera isn't pretty. ... There had been a small drop in ticket sales, he said, but the more pressing problem was the decline in the value of the company's endowment and fears about possible future shortfalls in contributions."
