I hope he recalls the wonderful operas staged by Ted Puffer and the USU music department in Logan in the 1960s. Logan's own Carolyn Tueller Lewis sang the lead in "Barber of Seville" and "Cinderella" and went on to become a soloist with the San Francisco Opera. Ted Puffer later led the opera program at UN-Reno and taught Dolora Zajick, who is now a star at the Metropolitan Opera.

Will he really talk about the history of opera in Utah or will he be talking about Michael Ballum and Michael Ballum's history with opera?!

If you're going to criticize a person, be sure you spell the person's name right. Otherwise, you lose credibility.
