Alberto Franchetti's festival opera, Cristofore Colombo, was written for the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America. According to the critics, it is a powerful work, with echoes of late Verdi, much Ponchielli, and even Wagner. It was performed by The Greater Miami Opera in the Dade County Auditorium, Miami, Florida, with whom Jorge Luis Morejon sang in the chorus.
