something I have often wondered ....
People here have said things like "Seattle Opera makes Vancouver Opera look like a high-school play ...." and in effect, they're right.
The curious thing is this. Back when Seattle was no bigger than Vancouver is now; 20, 30 or more years ago, Seattle had a fantastic opera.
Why hasn't Vancouver caught up culturally at this point? Different economy, different mentality, different ethnic backgrounds and cultural traditions of the people? Why is Seattle so far ahead of Vancouver, at least musically?
