We had the joy and privilege of performing another adorable opera together. DON PASQUALE is our 4th opera by Gaetano Donizetti in the last four years. Earlier this year we had LA FILLE DU RÉGIMENT with Parnassus Society near our old home in Southern California. But last month, this DON PASQUALE performance in Schloss Braunfels was fun and enjoyable for all who attended and participated. Enjoy some pics from this magical moment.

Excited to promote that Lynette and I will be playing Norina and Ernesto in Opera Classica Europe's production of DON PASQUALE. Performance is in the castle courtyard of the most beautiful Schloss Braunfels on August 3rd.
Viva la lirica, e viva Donizetti!

I'm so excited to share the stage with my bride of 27+ years! Lynette Tapia and I debuted this opera, LA FILLE DU RÉGIMENT, here in Orange County in 1998. The Legendary Richard Bonynge was our conductor, Steward Maunders directed, and we had a fabulous cast including Marianne Pratniki as the Marquise and Kristopher Irmiter as Sulpice.

This time, we have Mattia Venni as Sulpice and Erin Theodorakis as the Marquise, and welcome Ryan Reithmeier as Corporal and the young ladies and gents of OCHSA for our chorus, Kelly Kuo conducts in this Parnassus Society presentation at Soka University Performing Arts Center today at 3pm.

I'm looking forward to seeing so many of our friends and family there!
