major operatic works were among the most critically acclaimed
and popular with audiences. It was during this time that I worked
with Maria Ferrante and found her to be one of the most engaging
and moving vocal artists I've ever heard. The pathos Ferrante will
bring to the role of Butterfly is something patrons will not want to miss.
