The Metropolitan Opera has retained Jack Rubin to expand the licensee base of Tessitura. Jack Rubin, currently President of MorningStar Resource Group was most recently CEO and President of an Internet-based box office and ticketing company and served as Chief Financial and Strategic Officer for the IPO in 2000 of a large, high-growth, profitable company booking discount hotel rooms over the Internet. He is also assisting in the Tessitura Network formation. Jack commented, "This software is truly the gold standard for this significant market segment. It is fully integrated, battle-tested by premier users and supported by a quality team. We hope that any major symphony, opera and arts center considering a software review or platform change anytime in the foreseeable future will take a look at the features, technology and advantages of this strong enterprise package. They will be impressed. The software stands by itself and the user-funded support and development operating model is non-traditional and exciting to be part of."

About Tessitura
Tessitura is a software application that enables an integrated approach to "constituent management." Using a single database of information capable of tracking detailed data, the system enables the user organization to record, track and manage all contacts with its constituents, marketing and fund raising appeals, customer service contacts and ticketing and membership transactions. Besides fully enabling efficient business and ticketing operations, a key benefit of the system is to enable the relationship managers to have a full-view of each constituent -- their history, preferences and all contacts with the institution. This view coupled with in-depth analysis of the effectiveness of various marketing and fund raising appeals allows for a highly cost-efficient and effective relationship management tool.
