The only way to remedy the problem of declining audiences is to look at plays that generate excitement. We feel like we have a strong lineup. It's very current.

I think it has created an excitement for opera that will produce growing audiences. Nationally, it is important that operas have robust partners across the country to join in productions. That will mean Denver audiences will see some leading productions that have been produced in other places.

Summer is when audiences expect us to deliver excitement. Some movies just didn't fulfill that promise.

The excitement is inspiring. Everybody has this excitement and this energy on C.R. 17.

There was certainly shopper excitement early on, but it wasn't sustained. Clearly their Black Friday strategy worked. But their holiday was modestly disappointing as they went on.

We're seeing some gulf moisture from Dallas east. But to the west of Dallas, the winds went southwest, and that's always very warm for us.
