It is sad to know that there are people in our area who begrudge a few hours a week to those who enjoy opera. I would not want to deny Phil Price (BDN, Dec. 5) his enjoyment of rock ‘n’ roll, hip hop or any other kind of music. I like variety also.

Since I can no longer ski, skate or do any other outdoor, winter sports, I look forward to a few hours of opera on Saturday afternoons.

I would suggest that Price find a TV program on that afternoon – a talk show, sports or even read a book.

This winter will seem a bit longer without the joy of looking forward to our Saturday afternoon opera.
