Minnesota Opera Sponsorship

In 2007, The ADS Group has continued its sponsorship of The Minnesota Opera by donating a portion of the cost of its 2007-2008 season preview CD. The Opera distributes the CD to season ticket holders at no charge.

The Minnesota Opera's 2007-2008 season is an exciting one, opening with a performance of Verdi's A Masked Ball, led by the stunning singing of Cynthia Lawrence as Amelia and Charles Taylor as Anckarstroem. This dramatic production will be followed closely by Rossini's The Italian Girl in Algiers, a romantic comedy with returning favorite Vivica Genaux as Isabella.

Today The Minnesota Opera is regarded as one of America's most exciting opera companies. The Opera's extremely successful 2007 world premiere production of The Grapes of Wrath demonstrated the company's ability to make a huge impact on the community and the opera field and its willingness to take artistic risks. The ADS Group is proud to contribute to The Minnesota Opera again this year and extends all best wishes for the success of its 2007-2008 performance season.
