Note From Rufus About the Opera

Hi,

Rufus here on my way to Rhode Island. You might have seen or heard some things written and mentioned in the media this past week about my opera, "Prima Donna." I'd like to take this opportunity to set the record straight. The 2009 Premiere is on schedule. There will be a major announcement about it next month. I remain grateful to Peter Gelb and the Met for their interest and encouragement but as the opera began to take shape, it became apparent that as much as everyone loved the music, we just could not agree on the language and the date for the Premiere. I still look forward to working with the Met sometime in the future.

See you soon!

Love, Rufus.
