Nicholas Newton recording of Complications in Sue released by Opera Philadelphia

In the roles of Santa Claus, Roger, Octogenarian, and Death, Nicholas Newton’s recording catalogue grows with the Opera Philadelphia commerical release of Complication in Sue in a world premiere recording captured from live performances of the work with a libretto by Michael R.
