Bacharach, Oswalt, 98 Degrees: Gallo Center’s upcoming season packed with star power

When the Gallo Center for the Arts opened in 2007, it was with much fanfare, but also a sizable debt of $14 million. But that’s so $12 million ago. Today, about to close an 11th season that could notch another recording-breaking year in ticket sales, the downtown Modesto performing arts venue has slashed that debt to less than $2 million.
