CONCEPT AND DESIGN FOR ANNUAL REPORT BY THE LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN Since its inception OPERA America has existed as a community of like-minded individuals committed to the artistic and financial strength of the field. This past year, our definition of community expanded: our conference, held in Vancouver, affirmed our commitment to all of North America, while our growing partnership with Opera Europa continued to bridge the continents through our shared dedication to an art form that knows no borders. Most profoundly, however, the opening of the National Opera Center in New York has created a new center for our community, a tangible space where individual and company members can gather for auditions, recitals and professional learning programs. The center’s technology capabilities enable us to share these offerings globally, even as its flexible amenities enable us to share our love for opera locally. We are delighted to present our global, national and local achievements of the past year through this Annual Report. To our members we offer gratitude for your support of these achievements.

|What to Expect from Così Fan Tutte
| WHAT TO EXPECT FROM COSÌ FAN TUTTE ON THE SURFACE, MOZART’S COSÌ FAN TUTTE HAS ALL THE MARKINGS OF THE WORK: a typical comic opera: tender lovers, a crafty maidservant, deceptions and COSÌ FAN TUTTE pranks, trials and confessions, and a wedding at the conclusion. But on closer An opera in two acts, sung in Italian study, Così fan tutte is a paradox. It explores depths of emotion previously Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart untapped in opera buffa while moving between high farce and profound Libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte beauty. That the work could be both accused of irony, cynicism, and triviality First performed January 26, 1790 and celebrated for communicating deep emotional truth and philosophical at the Burgtheater, Vienna, Austria import is a testament to this opera’s complex identity. Written barely two years before Mozart’s early death, Così fan tutte stands as his final, multi- PRODUCTION layered statement in the Italian opera buffa genre.

His accomplishments also extend to oratorio and concert performances and on the recital stage with major symphony orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic and the London Symphony Orchestra. At age of 22, Mr. Pita became the youngest tenor to debut at the Vienna Staatsoper, singing Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly. Following this successful debut, he appeared in leading tenor roles in Macbeth, La Traviata, Falstaff, Rigoletto, Lucia di Lammermoor, and as the Italian Tenor in Der Rosenkavalier. Mr. Pita has become a favorite of many conductors, including Claudio Abbado, Zubin Mehta, Jose Lopez Cobo, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Anton Guadagno, John Mauceri, Nikolaus Hamoncourt, Antonio Pappano, Fabio Luisi and many others.
