Thanks for taking the time to stop by.  2010 is well underway, and it looks to be a great year!  As companies are announcing their 2010-2011 seasons, I have undated my “Future Engagements” page.  I’ve got a lot of new music to learn, a lot of demanding roles to sing, and a ton of new colleagues to meet and create with! 

The 2009-10 season is in full swing!  I am thrilled to be in the midst of the most exciting, demanding and ultimately rewarding season thus far.   I started the season with my return to San Francisco as Luigi in Il Tabarro. My self described “Czech” year was rounded out with my debut in Munich as Steva in Jenufa, followed by my Chicago debut as Boris in Kat’a Kabanova. Don Jose in Carmen will serve as my Met debut in the first months of 2010, and I will return to Boston with my first Bacchus in Ariadne auf Naxos. Finally,  the season will come to a close with the role of  Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly in two productions. First at the Dallas Opera (as they celebrate their first season in their new Winspear Theatre) followed by my return to  the Santa Fe Opera.

I was sad to see the 208-2009 season go!  I debuted with the Houston Grand Opera with a much acclaimed Cav/Pag in which I sang Turiddu.  Followed by my debut with the Washington National Opera as Don Jose in Carmen.  After adding the dream role of Peter Grimes to my repertoire I  debuted in Trieste with one of my favorite roles, Pollione, in Norma and then with the LA Opera in Braunfels’ Die Voegel.  The St. Louis Symphony was my next stop as I joined some fantastic artists for Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.
