"Philadelphia-born tenor Stephen Costello has arrived on the West Coast for a month-long stay at San Diego Opera, where he will make two role debuts: the Italian Singer in Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier (April 3-12), and the title role in Gounod's Faust (April 23, 26, 29 and May 1). Costello will be documenting his experiences with the company in an "Opera Diary" published by the San Diego Union-Tribune. The first of seven installments in the series is available here. Later this spring, Costello makes his Glyndebourne Festival debut as Nemorino in Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore (June 9 - August 4), and this fall he reprises the role of Percy in Donizetti's Anna Bolena, opening the Metropolitan Opera's new season on September 26, 2011, in a new production featuring Anna Netrebko in the title role."
