SAN DIEGO (AP) - California’s attorney general will audit the San Diego Opera, which recently teetered on the brink of closure because of funding problems.
The opera announced Tuesday that it’s been ordered to turn over some records to the AG and will cooperate fully. Chief Operating Officer Keith Fisher says he’s confident the audit results will strengthen public trust.
The announcement came one day after the opera announced it will have a 2015 season after all.
The opera’s board had voted overwhelmingly in March to shut down after 49 years because of a big budget shortfall. But a crowd-funding effort raised more than $3 million to make a new season possible.
