sounds like a winner season to me, in this collapsing economy nothing wrong with going with Italian opera. It's what sells. And you can put any of the 5 Donizetti operas we're seeing next season against anything modern, he'll win hands down. Orchestration, vocal writing, melodic invention, drama etc. Once the novelty wears out, modern operas have proven to be ticket sales DISASTERS.
