The following is from a University of North Texas internal press
release:

The first in a series of concerts that aim to bring alumni back to
campus, New York Metropolitan opera star soprano Emily Pulley and
pianist Greg Ritchey will perform a concert of recital music on
campus this Friday, March 2.

The program will include a number of beloved vocal works: Mozart's
Exsultate, jubilate, Schumann's Frauenliebe und Leben, Dvorak's
Song to the Moon from the opera Rusalka, and A Portrait of Millay, a
song cycle on five sonnets of Edna St. Vincent Millay by Robert Manno.

In the Met's 1999-2000 season Pulley performed Nedda in Pagliacci,
Valencienne in a new production of The Merry Widow and in the Gala
Concert. This season she has performed First Lady in The Magic Flute
in New York and traveled to Taipei to sing Elijah and Hansel and
Gretel before singing the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro in
February. Raised in College Station, Pulley graduated summa cum laude
from West Texas A&M and earned her master's degree from UNT.

The concert to benefit the opera program begins at 8 p.m. in Winspear
Hall at the UNT Murchison Performing Arts Center. Tickets range from
$15 to $25 with discounts available for seniors and UNT students.
