I am in this year’s Lyric Opera Cleveland touring school show, called Overture!

We’ve been rehearsing since Monday at a church in the Tremont area of Cleveland. This morning, we had our first live performance for the kids in the Head-Start program at the church. It actually went really well.

The show is set up as a game show. We invite kids from the audience up to try to answer questions about opera. The singers also perform excerpts from different operas to illustrate the answers. It’s pretty cool!

Starting this Monday, we’ll be going to 2 schools a day doing the 45-minute show. It looks to be a lot of fun.

Howdy, Y’all!

In these pages, I intend to describe my experiences in the world of Opera. If you like it, please register and leave me a comment. If you don’t like it, shove off! To clarify, I enjoy constructive criticism and lively, civil debate. But I have no desire to deal with annoying crap. Hey, it’s my website. If you want to flame me, get your own!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!
