With the restoration of “El Pasado Nunca se Terminar” to the season, the company is now committed to doing four out of five of the productions originally planned for the 2015 (“Tannhauser” did not make the cut “La Boheme,” “Don Giovanni” and “Nixon in China” did).
In May the board rescinded the vote and announcing an abbreviated 2015 season after more than half of the original board members resigned and the remaining board members parted ways with long-time director Ian Campbell. “El Pasado Nunca se Terminar,” which is being developed by the Lyric Opera of Chicago, had originally been announced in March as part of the San Diego Opera’s 2015 season, but soon after the announcement the board voted to shut down, plunging the company into a two-month struggle for survival. “This opportunity provides multifaceted benefits that allow us to build on the success of ‘Cruzar la Cara de la Luna’ (which the company presented in 2013), continue the community engagement we began in 2013 with ¡Viva la Ópera!, and further San Diego Opera’s commitment to provide diverse programming that meets the needs of our community.” “We are excited about the return of Mariachi Vargas with ‘El Pasado Nunca se Terminar’,” said opera board member Robert Horsman in a statement.
