Washington National Opera to move out of Kennedy Center after Trump ‘takeover’ Guardian: The Washington National Opera (WNO) announced on Friday it is moving its performances out of the John F Kennedy Center, in what could be one of the most significant departures from the institution since Trump took control of it.
Francesca Zambello, WNO’s artistic director, had said in November that the move was a possibility as a result of the “takeover” of the center by Donald Trump. Trump declared himself the chair of the institution in February and quickly thereafter fired and replaced its board and leadership.
Zambello also cited the collapse in box office revenue and “shattered” donor confidence. -- nordy

Hey Alan! Last night I had a complicated and convoluted dream...but I recall that in part of it there was a big crystal cut bowl with photos in it, and the photos were related to you in some way and showed various things you had done...some had calligraphy and showed various handwriting styles. Made me smile when I recalled your kind gift of the pen and ink and info about holding a pen properly, which you shared with me and with some home schoolers!
Happy Birthday Nordy! ♥
