 All'alba
vincerò!
April 14, 2009
As we enter spring, I'm working to make a "re-debut" on a sorely missed operatic stage. And what a better way to make my "re-debut" than to sing on Berkeley Opera's 30th Anniversary Gala Concert with featured guest artist Ruth Ann Swenson.
After the concert, I had the pleasure of meeting (in person) Cindy Warner, an Arts and Entertainment writer for Examiner.com. Cindy's coverage of the SF Bay Area opera scene is unique, refreshing, and greatly appreciated. Check out the article she wrote about lil' ol' me and my upcoming "Broadway Magic" concert. Thanks, Cindy!!!
Though I was "off-stage" last year, that's not to say I haven't been singing. The Three Waiters has kept me plenty busy with shows in Mexico,
El Salvador, Chile, Canada, the greater San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles.
I'm eager to see what 2009 brings.
On the books for 2009 are a revamped website, new videos, a new demo CD, a new photo gallery, and hopefully more operatic roles to add to my resume. So stay tuned (and wish me luck).
Well, that's it for
now. I wish you health and happiness in the new year. In bocca al lupo!

 December

And speaking of National Parks...once again, the majesty of Yosemite National Park beckons me.
This December,
I return as Chef Pierre in the 82nd annual production
of The
Bracebridge Dinner at Yosemite , a fanciful feast and musical extravaganza
held at Yosemite’s famed Ahwahnee Hotel. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience and, as The Wall Street Journal reported, “Bracebridge is, without much doubt, the country's, if not the world's, premier Christmas dinner.”
