Trouble in paradise: now that Steinmetz Hall is moving toward completion, will Orlando’s Opera, Ballet and the Phil be able to afford to perform there?

Coming out of the recession, Dr. Phillips Center absorbed much of the incremental philanthropy in town, leaving producing groups to scrap for every dollar they could raise from a position of scarcity. Now, the Center is squeezing these groups for more dollars - perhaps from a TDT subsidy - without consideration for the sustainability or growth of the organizations that ultimately create the cultural product of the region. At the end of the day, Dr. Phillips Center will be fine. If they drive the Ballet and Philharmonic out of business, they will book out of town artists, leaving our musicians, dancers, actors and singers in their wake, absorbing the ticketbuyers of the local organizations without having to share any profit.
