SPRING 2008
KING ARTHUR (Purcell), New York
City Opera
Once again I'm covering in what should be a delightful production since it's
Mark Morris. He's stripped the names of the characters though so what used
to be known as Cupid/Venus/Honour now has the illustrious name of Soprano
I. That's what I have 8 possible chances of doing between March
7-15, 2008.
Update: Got to perform 2 shows, on March 8 & 9, officially making my City Opera debut! Here's a short and very sweet opinion about it on opera expert James Camner's blog.
