Frugality vs. privilege

Ok, let me ask you a question. What are the overheads for any given concert, excluding travel, for the NZSO? Then, how about including travel? Can you give me an emissions budget as well?

I think that the arts sector often avoids scrutiny and criticism because of the lack of resources that are directed towards reporting about that sector. Plus how many other people know about the business side of showbusiness?
