Notes
All database information regarding performances that followed the
October 17th Loma Prieta earthquake is correct, but they are here and
there, so here is a summation:
Idomeneo, October 17 – cancelled
Otello, October 20 – Moved to Masonic Auditorium
Aida, October 21 – Moved to Masonic Auditorium
Idomeneo, October 22 – Moved to Masonic Auditorium
The Masonic Auditorium performances were given in "modified concert form,"
i.e. in costume and makeup, with some props and lights, but without
supernumeraries and dancers.
