City's ballet, symphony, museums on firmer fiscal footing

Post Gazette: "It took a strong dose of tough love, but after six years of operating in the red, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre yesterday unveiled a financial surplus for the 2006-07 season, capping a good year for three of the region's major cultural institutions. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra also said it balanced its budget for the first time in three years, while the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, which regularly covers an operating deficit through multiple dips into its endowment, said it expects to end that practice starting next year."
