Alexandra Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 A few years ago, the Baltimore Opera had a slogan "Opera: It's Not as Bad As You Think. I proposed a counterpart, in the spirit of clueless marketeers trying to reach the Masses: Ballet: It's Not As Bad As Opera! Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I want you to get residuals for that one, Alexandra, it's sure to show up somewhere. Link to comment

Hans Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Alexandra, Baltimore Opera still uses that slogan! We've all heard "Dancers Turn Out Better" I often use this one as my AOL Instant Messenger icon: "Support the Arts--Hug a Dancer!" Link to comment
sandik Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 A few years ago, the Baltimore Opera had a slogan "Opera: It's Not as Bad As You Think. I proposed a counterpart, in the spirit of clueless marketeers trying to reach the Masses:Ballet: It's Not As Bad As Opera! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Glynn Ross, one of the founders of the Seattle Opera, died this week, and the obits have been retelling stories. Ross was an unabashed huckster for opera, and one of the slogans he coined for an ad campaign was "Get ahead with Salome." Link to comment
Hans Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Haha, sandik the Baltimore Opera has some like that...they proclaim La Sonnambula "The sleeper hit of the year," as well as some others I can't recall. Link to comment
Amy Reusch Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I often use this one as my AOL Instant Messenger icon: "Support the Arts--Hug a Dancer!" I thought there used to be "Support the Arts -- Take A Dancer to Lunch!" Don't know why, but "When in Doubt, Bouree Out..." appeals as a bumper sticker... Link to comment
Hans Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I like that lunch one, Amy. Maureen Miller of Loudoun Ballet used to say "When in doubt, do entrechat-six!" (And that was her advice to the girls.) Link to comment
Gina Ness Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I had this one on my mini-van for as long as it was readable: "The Artless Are In Charge Of Funding the Arts"... Link to comment

jeanielake Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 yrs ago, SFB was on the brink (mid-70's?) and damara bennett was out on the street with signs trying to save the ballet. she, i think, was the one who passed out buttons that said, "Show Me Your Ballet Button" cute! Link to comment
Gina Ness Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 And, the first buttons Damara was referring to read "S O B" and vertically down from these letters "Save Our Ballet". I still have one... Link to comment
