The National Opera, if successful, could revitalise the musical scene in Canberra. I sincerely hope it does succeed. I think it has a good chance, as it has excellent artistic management, a good community base, and is independent of academia and government.

It is still going strong, has good artistic standards, and is independent of government. In the atypical Canberra environment, this recipe could be the
