The Metropolitan Opera has just announced that New York-born tenor, Dimitri Pittas, will
sing the performances of April 11, 15, and 18 L’Elisir d’Amore, filling in for a laryingitis-stricken Rolando Villazon.
Pittas made his MET debut in 2005, and is a graduate of the Met’s Lindemann
Young Artist Development Program.
New General Director of the Dallas Opera George Steel is on a warpath:
"I want to make Dallas Opera the best opera house in the country"
After all, with all that oil money being poured (in more ways than one) into the city, it makes sense to try and woo all those rich men (and their wives) to the opera house.
A piece of advice: no Calixto Bieito, and, especially, no Carsen's Candide.
