Thank you Laura! "Opera in the Italian Garden" 2013 had record attendance: 1,541. A little history:
The concert was first given in the 1940's with the San Carlo Opera House. Then it ceased. In 2008, the Italian Cultural Garden Foundation brought back the the "Opera in the Italian Garden after a 66 year absence. It has increased in attendance since the first one in 2008. The Italian Garden is in the midst of a $1.2 million restoration.
I am so grateful for your vision - I know that we may seem like a bunch of loonies here at REALNEO - but we do SEE the GOOD, too - and Norm knew and understood that gardens need people sharing GOOD through the Internet and connectivity:
