After the recent involuntary hiatus, loyal and patient visitors to this blog are invited to submit their names and emails for a grand prize draw.

The chief and only prize will be two tickets to a gala performance (in La Scala, Milan in the presence of the Holy Father himself) of the recently composed oratorio, Amoris Laetitiae – libretto by Cardinal Walter Kasper and Antonio Spadaro, score by Giuiseppe Bruni

The star-studded cast will include the choir of the Sistine Chapel and Placido Domingo (accompanied by a solo cello) in the moving  aria ‘Footnote 351’.

As an added incentive to enter the competition there will be an opportunity to join Cardinal Marx for a bratwurst or two during the interval.
