Among my assignments are Goro in the Family Performance of &#8220;Madama Butterfly&#8221; (find out more here) and Mercury in EVERY performance of &#8220;Orpheus in the Underworld.&#8221;

Maestro Dean Williamson, the conductor of Lucia, and the artistic director of Opera Cleveland stood up: he was going to announce the winners of the Young Artist [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have now been rehearsing Lucia di Lammermoor for a couple of weeks, and things are really starting to take shape.  I was very interested to discover, from reading Walter Scott&#8217;s novel &#8220;The Bride of Lammermoor&#8221; that the story is based on a supposedly true story. The Wikipedia summary of this real-life event reads [...]]]></description>

Since I last spoke up here, I have had the great luck of being in a great production of Carmen in Youngstown, OH, and then I sang a benefit concert in Boston of &#8220;Le nozze di Figaro&#8221; with a bunch of friends.  It was very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1997, the Paris Opera presented Der Rosenkavalier.  I remember it distinctly: the gorgeous production was by the genius Herbert Wernicke, and the cast included Renée Fleming, Susan Graham and Barbara Bonney.  The evening was magical.  Perfect.  Mind altering. Luckily, there was a radio broadcast of one of the performances, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  A lot of fuss has been made, in the past few weeks, about the current trend of booing at the Metropolitan Opera.  This is a tradition that has been in place for decades (centuries?) in Europe; the Italian and the French are particular adepts of it.  However, in the USA, tradition in recent years [...]]]></description>

The concert this evening is pretty special, as it involves Beethoven 9. The tenor soloist is none other than Chad Johnson, the fabulous Alfredo of our Traviata production here in town.

Shana Blake Hill is singing her first Violetta, although you would never guess it.  Her voice is just perfect for this role.  The colors, the roundness, the tone, the easy high notes and the [...]]]></description>
