MTZO is a gem in Contra Costa County. To have this caliber of performing arts in this community is nothing less than a treasure. I have seen a number of shows and have participated as a volunteer for both shows and events, and in either case I'm always impressed by performers, stage, and sound. They are like the little train that could, with so many obstacles, they continue to persevere and meet their goals each time. I look forward to their next shows!
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
quit, and give all responsibilities back to the person(s) who run it now.
More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
being exposed to opera, what it takes to put one together, and appreciation for everyone that makes it happen.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
retain a real performing arts center, allowing them room to practice and perform, without them having to sacrifice their first child and 12 pints of blood
Ways to make it better...
I was able to see the orchestra in 'the pit' as opposed to in a back room because the auditorium was not designed for such.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
money
