Excellent analysis. However, amid all the ballyhoo about hiring a Canadian I have yet to hear what problem hiring a Canadian is a solution for! Will a Canadian GD stem declining box office (down 1/3 since 2009/10)? Will a Canadian miraculously squeeze more cash out of government or donors? Will hiring a Canadian bring world class opera (as opposed to warmed over Chicago) to the Four Seasons stage? I'm not at all against hiring a Canadian if they can find one who can do a great job and is willing to join a (by global standards) rather small opera company.
Patrick Corrigan did not seek the position during the last search. Thanks for the B+.
