On May 4 and 6, Metropolitan Opera star Ruth Ann Swenson will make her long-awaited Dayton debut as the feature of Dayton OperaÕs annual Star Gala. Internationally acclaimed for her vocal instrument of warmth and beauty and as a dramatic and unusually sensitive artist, she is also recognized as a woman of courage and strength.
In September, Ms. Swenson was diagnosed with breast cancer. For eight months she underwent surgery and chemotherapy, and in March returned to the rigors and physical demands of her career to sing two taxing leading-lady roles at the Metropolitan Opera.
Dayton Opera and the American Cancer Society have joined in inviting breast cancer survivors from the Miami Valley to attend the May 6 performance at a special ticket price of $15 per person. Attendees may also make reservations to attend a private reception with Ms. Swenson following her performance.
To purchase tickets at the ACS rate, call Ticket Center Stage, 228-3630... To attend the reception, call Shannon McClure, Dayton Opera, 228-0662 Ext. 3057 before May 3. Tickets to both are limited.
