Due to the very high demand for tickets to Cecilia Bartoli's concert
on March 1 at 2:00 pm, Roy Thomson Hall is pleased to announce that
Ms. Bartoli has agreed to perform a 2nd concert the same day at 7:00
PM. Tickets go on sale to the public on Monday, December 15 at 10 AM.

Cecilia Bartoli is one of the world's most cherished and celebrated
classical artists and undisputedly the most famous mezzo-soprano of
her generation. Her two upcoming recitals, 2 PM and 7 PM, at Roy
Thomson Hall on March 1, 2009 celebrate the life and roles of 19th
century opera diva Maria Malibran (1808-1836), a superstar of her era
and muse for such composers as Rossini and Donizetti.

Ms. Bartoli is joined by the 25-member Orchestra La Scintilla of
Zˆºrich Opera, a distinguished period instrument ensemble, for a
program drawn from Ms. Bartoli's award-winning album Maria, and
includes works by Garcia, Persiani, Mendelssohn, Rossini, Donizetti,
Balfe, Beriot and Malibran. The orchestra will be led by
concertmaster Ada Pesch.

The 2 PM performance is sponsored by RBC Financial Group.
