Read Molly Sheridan’s coverage of The Metropolitan Opera’s season brochure and….eeeeeekkk…order forms (!) here. She writes:
Now, I bet opera fans were drooling all over this same package, so I
don’t mean to knock the concept. And it must have cost a small fortune
to produce and mail, so I hope they all immediately put in extensive
season orders. But it was way more than I, a one-time single ticket
buyer, knew what to do with. I’m more a teaser video and “Buy nosebleed
seats for this Friday’s show NOW for only $25!” kind of girl, myself.…This package was a great sales piece, I just wasn’t the right customer.
It’s funny that Molly’s post is called “Not Waiting for an Engraved Invitation”; two of my friends have gotten married in the past year, and I received e mail invitations to both weddings.
And speaking of season brochures, why aren’t New York City Opera 09-10 tickets on sale yet?
And speaking of City Opera, why does their new logo look exactly like New York City Ballet’s??
I mean, I love New York City Ballet’s logo but…folks are going to notice the similarities! Copy it if you’re in Kansas, not if you share a performance space.
