Carol Wong, who also serves as artistic director, created the event in honor of her mother and late father, both of whom battled cancer. All of the artists have donated their time and talent to the benefit concert.

Artists appearing in “Sing for Siteman” regularly perform around the globe, with many appearing on such renowned stages as The Metropolitan Opera, the English National Opera, and the Lyric Opera of Chicago. They will be in residence in the 2015 Festival Season at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, singing in principal roles in Barber of Seville, La Rondine, Richard the Lionheart, and Emmeline. “Sing for Siteman” vocalists will include: Jonathan Beyer, Susannah Biller, Brandon Cedel, Joyce El-Khoury, Emily Fons, Anthony Kalil, Sydney Manascola, Christophe Tiesi, and Corinne Winters. “Cancer is a disease that has touched everyone, either directly or through family and friends. However, cancer survival rates are increasing as important progress is made through innovative research,” said Timothy J. Eberlein, MD, director of the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine. “We are extremely grateful to the artists for donating their time and tremendous talent and to the host committee and volunteers for ensuring that this will be a memorable evening of music in support of the Discovery Fund.” ABOUT THE SITEMAN CANCER CENTER Alvin J.

As of 2014, Opera Theatre has presented 24 world premieres and 23 American premieres – which may be the highest percentage of new work in the repertory of any U.S. company. Described by The Sunday Times of London as “one of the few American companies worth the transatlantic fare,” Opera Theatre of Saint Louis annually welcomes visitors from nearly every state and close to a dozen foreign countries. Although the size of the theater typically limits box office income to less than a quarter of the budget, the company has consistently produced work of the highest quality while never accumulating a deficit. Opera Theatre also has a long tradition of discovering and promoting the careers of the finest operatic artists of the current generation. Among the artists who had important early opportunities at Opera Theatre are Christine Brewer, Susan Graham, Nathan Gunn, Patricia Racette, Thomas Hampson, Jerry Hadley, Dawn Upshaw, Sylvia McNair, Erie Mills, Dwayne Croft, Kelly Kaduce, and Lawrence Brownlee. Opera Theatre has always been known for distinguished leadership: founding general director Richard Gaddes was succeeded in 1985 by general director Charles MacKay, with famed British stage director Colin Graham as artistic director and Stephen Lord (1992 – present) as music director. Timothy O’Leary was named general director in October 2008 with acclaimed stage director James Robinson succeeding the late Colin Graham. Opera Theatre is a sustaining member of the Arts & Education Council of Greater Saint Louis, and receives major support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Regional Arts Commission, and the Missouri Arts Council.
