Leontyne Price turned 99 yesterday.

Whenever I listen to her perform the Magda part in "Chi il bel sogno di Doretta" from Puccini's La Rondine, my soul soars.

She did justice to every composer, but most fans see her as a Verdi leading lady.

This is going to be AMAZING! If you've never been to the opera before because none of "the classics" spoke to you, here's your chance to make this a future classic. Season ticket packages are available now and tickets to individual performances go on sale on November 21.
