Dear Readers,
As the semester continues we are getting closer and closer Carmen!
If you can make it out to Athens on the 13th or 14th of November, please do - you're in for a treat.
I will be singing Don Jose with a fantastic cast of emerging young artists: Marisan Corsino as the seductive and strong willed title character Carmen; Chris Voss as the gallant torero Escamillo; Elisabeth Slaten as the demure Micaela. There are so many other great artists in this cast: Richard Block, Ben Baskoff, Avery Draut, Evelyn Shreves and many more!
Cheers to all of the cast members and the hard work they are putting in to make this show great!
In the meantime, I still have some other duties to check off the proverbial to-do list:
This Thursday is a double duty day.
I will be singing Jose's Flower Song [La fleur que tu m'avais jeter] for UGA's Choral Day and then a short concert with Evelyn Shreves down town Athens. We will be performing the first act duet from Rigoletto followed by some solos including Brahms' Der Tod das ist die kuele Nacht and the neapolitan classic Core 'ngrato.
Lastly, I am preparing a recital for the spring.
I've chosen the first half, which will be Michaelangelo in song, but the second half is still undecided.
I am thinking a mix of Latin American, North American and French.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for stopping by,
Joe
