I'll go first to get us started….

• New forms of entertainment have replaced opera (too many "easy" things to compete with)

• Lack of music education at a young age

• The gulf between opera and the music a younger generation listens to has become too wide

• Opera houses are evolving (in the wrong way)

• The bar for great singing is too low

What would I do differently?

• Get back to the basics - the simple things that make opera great - instead of trying to upgrade the experience with technology, etc

Now your turn!
