A Gala Evening to Benefit the Center for Contemporary Opera

Dear Friends of the Center for Contemporary Opera,
You are cordially invited to attend a gala evening to benefit the Center for Contemporary Opera on March 15 beginning at 8pm at the National Arts Club.
The evening will include scenes from operas by Jake Haggie including Three Decembers, Again, Dead Man Walking, and Moby Dick. We are also very pleased to present scenes from William Mayer's award winning opera A Death in the Family. CCO will present A Death in the Family next September 14 and 15 at the Kaye Playhouse and then take the production to Hungary as part of the Armel Opera Festival.
As part of CCO's outreach program, we are proud to welcome the superb opera program from The University of North Texas College of Music under the direction of Paula Horner and Stephen Dubberly. They recently earned first place in the National Opera Association's opera competition in Division V the highest division among conservatory and university programs for its production of Marc Blitzstein's Regina.
