Not much new to report, I'm afraid. I'm getting more calls/emails from readers wondering what's going on with Bocelli's announced Dec. 10 concert for Fresno Grand Opera at the Save Mart Center. Tickets were originally scheduled to go on sale to the general public a week ago. One reader says:

I'm concerned about the Fresno Opera and Bocelli. We had tickets for the Bocelli concert. We noticed on our credit card account that we have been credited back for [the purchase], and we're wondering why. Nobody for two weeks at the office has been answering or returning phone calls.

The reader, a season subscriber, was annoyed that the opera has been so tight-lipped about the issue. She also said that a recent meeting was cancelled for the opera's Team of 200, the mover-and-shaker group of donors formed to advance the cause of Fresno Grand Opera.

I did receive a statement Friday from Fresno Grand Opera's Ron Eichman. He wrote:

Sorry I've not been able to return your call earlier in the week. We should have confusion cleared up regarding AB concert first part of week.

Mike Scott, on his Channel 47 blog, has been tracking this story as well. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything new.
