Change is in the Season!

RSOC is moving to Minneapolis! As many of you know, the production arm of the Reduced Spice Opera Company was closed for the 2012-2013 season. We are very pleased to announce that the production arm will be resuming operations in the Summer of 2014 – in Minneapolis! As part of this move, RSOC is being rebranded as the Really Spicy Opera Company, or Spicy Opera for short.
Site Being Restored
The RSOC site received an Easter surprise this year in the form of an outage with our web hosting provider. Unfortunately, this surprise included a discovery that there was an also an issue with their site backup system. As a result, much of the Reduced Spice Opera Company website will be offline until the restore process has been completed. Thank you for your patience!
As always, you can contact the Artistic Director with any questions at: music@basilconsidine.org.
