Fire at the Wortham (Smoke Damage)

[Helene]

A member of the Opera-L list posted this morning that he saw a news report from the local ABC TV affiliate in Houston that there was a fire at the Wortham Center -- home to Houston Ballet -- this morning, causing smoke damage. There is a small report on the station's website:

I hope that Houston Ballet's "Nutcracker" sets and costumes were out of the theater after their last performance Sunday night.
