Opera 2005 Suspending
Productions
The board of the Cork-based opera
group, Opera 2005, has announced that it will be suspending all major
productions for 2009. In a statement issued this week, the organisation cited
the Arts Council's eliminatation of all funding to the organisation as the
principal cause. In 2008, Opera 2005 received €110,000 from the Arts Council:
'The Board appreciates the difficult economic climate but finds the iniquitous
decision to withdraw the funding from Opera 2005, compared to the €1,757,800
awarded to Opera Ireland, €1,389,000 to the Wexford Festival (who both received
the same funding as in 2008) and €803,000 to Opera Theatre Company difficult
to comprehend.'
