I don't like opera; especially when the language used is other than one I understand. As to my musical preferences: Sirius XM Radio Channel 58 - Prime Country. (I'm not requiring or requesting that anyone else like or support it!)
And since when are we in operatic competition with Astoria. Let the Astorians do as they will and the Eugenians do as they will. If there's too small a market for opera in Eugene, take it elsewhere.
