Dear FCLC, Welcome back! I hope you had a relaxing and restorative Spring Break and that today’s wet weather has not put too much of a damper on your return. In addition to all of the updates described below, I’d like to give you advance notice of an exciting upcoming opportunity: thanks to our ongoing collaboration with the MetOpera (located just across the street at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts) and with Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture, we will be able to distribute 75 free tickets to the final dress rehearsal of the company premier of El Niño – an opera-oratorio that retells the story of the Nativity focusing on the experience of the refugee and the migrant and how they struggled to find acceptance. While set in Biblical times, the production’s crucial theme could not be more contemporary, more urgent, or more in keeping with Fordham’s Jesuit values. The dress rehearsal will be held on Friday April 19 from 10:30am – 1pm, including a 30-minute intermission. Please keep an eye out for a signup sheet coming next week! For now, please accept my best wishes for the rest of the week ahead! Yours, Dean Auricchio
