A Gala Evening to Benefit 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 various operas by Jake Heggie and Death in the Family by William Mayer. We are very pleased to welcome Richard Croft and Stephen Morscheck who will lend their considerable talents to the program.

As part of CCO's outreach program, the Heggie and Mayer scenes will be presented by the superb University of North Texas opera program under the direction of Paula Horner.

Elliott Forrest (Breakfast with the Arts, Live from Lincoln Center, WQXR, etc.) is our Master of Ceremonies. He promises a very entertaining evening, indeed!

The evening will begin with drinks at 8pm and the program will begin at approximately 8:15. A lovely reception will follow.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is an often told story that four years ago, I inherited CCO with only $7,000 in our account. Yet, at the same time when other companies have cut back or even folded, we are doing more than ever. Our visibility and activities have increased dramatically but we are not where we need to be by any means. Your support is vital and very much appreciated. Every dollar counts and not a penny will be wasted.

We look forward to seeing you on the 15th!
