The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra began its new season on a musical high note and with a surprise from one of its largest benefactors.

Dr. Angelo Fatta and his wife, Carol, created an endowment with the BPO that funds the music director position, now held by the acclaimed JoAnn Falletta.

Fatta made the announcement late Saturday at a private reception that included guest star Renee Fleming. This marks the first time in recent years that the music director‘s post has been endowed.

With the Fatta gift, the BPO endowment is now more than $32 million when less than eight years ago, it stood at $9 million.

“We wanted to do this to do our part to maintain this jewel we call the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra,” Fatta said.

The Metropolitan Opera reached tentative agreements early Monday morning with the unions representing its orchestra and chorus after an all-night bargaining session, and called off its threat to lock out workers a little more than a month before the new season is set to open.

The agreements were announced shortly after 6:15 a.m. by Allison Beck, the deputy director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, after talks lasted long past the deadline of midnight Sunday that the Met had set for reaching a deal or locking out its workers.

“These were difficult and highly complex negotiations, and I wish to commend the parties for their resolve in addressing multiple and complex issues,” Ms. Beck said in a statement. “We are grateful for their commitment to the collective bargaining process and grateful most of all that the Metropolitan Opera, one of the world’s premier cultural institutions, will continue providing outstanding operas for all to enjoy.”

The terms of the agreement were not immediately disclosed.
