Post subject: Best cities for opera composers?

It used to be that Vienna, Naples, Paris, etc. were THE places to be if you were an opera composer. I live in Maine, USA right now, possibly one of the least opera-friendly places on Earth.

What city or cities are there now where a composer might find a warm reception for his art?
