Hello and Happy New Year to one and all! I would like to announce some exciting news for this new year.

I am singing Salomone Mortara in the World Premier of Il caso Mortara at Dicapo Opera on February 25 and 27 and March 5 and 7 of 2010. Please click either the promo poster for tickets, times, and prices (or you can also click the link below).

The following is from the Dicapo press release by General Director Michael Capasso:

For the first in a series of commissioned works, we will present the world premiere of Il Caso Mortara by Francesco Cilluffo. I am delighted that our first commission will be of an Italian opera; to the best of my knowledge no American company has commissioned an Italian composer to write something since Puccini composed La Fanciulla del West 100 years ago for the Met. Il Caso Mortara is the most operatic of true stories and I consider Francesco Cilluffo to be an outstanding new voice in opera. Performances of Il Caso Mortara are scheduled for February 25 & 27 and March 5 & 7, 2010.

Thank you for you continued interest and I look forward to seeing you all soon.

With Peace and Love,

Peter
