Steve Staruch speaks with Colleen Meier, one of the founders of the new Twin Cities Fringe Opera. The shoestring-budget company is making a big splash this coming weekend with performances of Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos.

Meier untangles the plot of this opera within an opera and speaks of the frustrations and joys of being an arts entrepreneur.
