Glade Peterson, born in Fairview, Utah, was responsible for bringing grand opera to Utah. His own career began in 1958 when he made his first debut as Pinkerton in "Madame Butterfly" with the NBC Touring Company in Amherst, Massachusetts. His European debut came in 1960 in Spoleto, Italy, where he played Rodolfo in "La Boheme." For the next fifteen years Peterson starred as leading tenor for the State Theater in Zurich, Switzerland. He returned to the United States around 1975, when he made his debut with the Metropolitan Opera. He founded the Utah Opera Company a few years later.
