Overview:

Sally Soprano is a distinguished older soprano who has not had a lead role in two years. The Lyric Opera has a production of Norma opening in three weeks, and the soprano who has been engaged to sing the title role has developed a condition requiring surgery before the performance. The Lyric is eager to hire Sally, and the trustees have authorized the business manager to offer up to $45,000 for the lead. Naturally, the Lyric, which is a not-for-profit organization, would like the salary to be lower, if possible. The origional soprano hired for the lead was to have been paid $30,000, and the rather inexperienced secondary soprano is being paid $14,000. (Industry practice is that lead roles receive about twice the amount received by secondary role singers.) Four years ago, at the height of her career, Sally received $22,000 fore the lead role, but inflation and an increase in opera’s popularity have nearly doubled the salary scale since then.
Sally desperately wants the role, which could give her a chance at forthcoming television special. She would be willing to sing for the part for nothing, except the impact on future engagements and reputation. Her salaries for secondary roles over the last two years have ranged from $10,000 to $18,000; more than a year ago she received $12,500 for singing the secondary role in Norma at the Lyric. Last year, an inexperienced soprano who sang the lead role is rumored to have been paid more than $24,000.
