CAN IT REALLY BE APRIL AGAIN?
March was our art issue, in which we featured the many venerable institutions that pepper Southern California’s cultural landscape—organizations dedicated to the preservation of artistic expression. So, it was with the saddest of hearts that I learned that one of our finest was closing
its doors forever. The San Diego Opera, considered one of the top ten in the country, announced in March that it would be ending its 49-year run at the close of this year’s season with a final performance ofDon Quixote. Fittingly the final opera is about an eccentric knight who tilts at windmills as he pursues his impossible dream. He is ridiculed, mocked and scorned, but in the end clings to his sweet Dulcinean dream. It’s a lesson that is repeated so often in the arts, fighting to preserve creativity at
any cost, against all odds. For some that means the loss of everything—even to the extent of losing their sanity. But to live in a world without even one of those artists’ masterpieces, for me would
be devastating. Can you imagine a world without Picasso’s Il Guernica, Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, Monet’s Water Lillies, the lilt of Bach’s 9th Symphony, Mozart’s Requim or Maria Callas’ soaring soprano? I cannot. It would be a world with out color and a great deal of it’s meaning. Sadly,
we are in danger of losing pieces of this world to deep funding cuts and economic austerity. As Alonzo King, the famed choreographer recently shared with me, “If you haven’t stepped into the world of art and had the sense of ‘knowing’ that it creates, it truly is abysmal.” I couldn’t have expressed it better. As you go forth to enjoy the many delights that April and spring have to offer,
inside and outside of these pages, please remember to patronize your local arts institutions.
Let’s help keep those beautiful lights burning … Joel Martens,Editor in Chief
