The Opera Company of Philadelphia has popped up again - this time not with opera, but in a bit from Orff's Carmina Burana, at Philadelphia's 30th Street Station.
Bravo...Wish I had been there!— He Visto Todo- Can someone explain how this will make people more likely to attend and support live music? Is it good advertising? This "free" and "random" act of culture actually costs a lot of money to produce. I hope there is an upside other than just a feel-good moment.— altekakker
