Devoted to stimulating its South Florida audience with a diverse repertoire, Florida Grand Opera (FGO) continues its current season with Don Giovanni, one of the world's most beloved operas, and the newly-commissioned Cyrano. The two productions will be performed throughout April and May, beginning with Don Giovanni on April 16, 2011.

Offenbach's reputation was firmly established by his hugely successful comic operas, but with The Tales of Hoffmann, the composer of the famous 'Can-Can' from Orpheus in the Underworld was determined to achieve recognition as a composer of serious opera as well. Based on several short stories by the writer E.T.A. Hoffmann, The Tales of Hoffmann would soon become a favorite vehicle for many of the world's leading opera singers who relished the opportunity to exploit its limitless dramatic opportunities. Canadian tenor David Pomeroy, who made his 2009 Metropolitan Opera debut in the title role of its new production of The Tales of Hoffmann, will make his FGO debut in the same role.
