I am not sure that any- thing could change that part of the spirit of West Bay Opera.” Longtime set designer Jean-Fran- cois Revon is also hopeful about the season. “It’s very unfortunate that he (Sloss) left. But I’m hoping that it will bring in new blood to the pro- ductions,” he said. And even such a dramatic person- nel turnover was not as painful as the economic downturn, when tick- et sales and donations plummeted, Revon said. “What we went through five years ago, like so many arts groups, was really a shock. Now without a gen- eral manager, it’s not as hard,” he said with a wry chuckle. “We’ve all worked together for a long time so we know how to survive.”■
