Along with our ORATORIO family, all of us at Signature are mourning the heartbreaking loss of Dito van Reigersberg, who left this world yesterday surrounded by family and loved ones. Dito was a shooting star among us; a prodigious talent with a massive heart who warmed every room he entered. If you were lucky enough to see him perform, his singular voice is certainly still resonating in your cells. For those who shared time with him, the depth of his talent was only matched by the reach of his kindness. We are the richer for knowing him. Our love is with his family and all those who will miss him beyond measure.

- Emily Shooltz, Artistic Director
