That Mozart did some real swashbucklin’ when he wrote one of the greatest works of art I’ve had the luck to get to know through many performances as Don Ottavio. I’m pleased as rum punch to get to sing in this masterpiece again soon at the Metropolitan Opera, albeit in a more, modern, gun-not-cutlass production of DON GIOVANNI with a knockout cast headed by the @metopera Principal Guest Conductor, the brilliant and buoyant @danielerustioni.

Fun fact: Don Giovanni premiered #OTD in Prague in 1787.

🗓️ Performance Dates
November 6, 11, 15, 19 and 22

Can’t wait to perform Winterreise tomorrow with my long-time collaborator, Ken Noda. Here’s a moment from our performance of Schumann’s Dichterliebe, Op. 48 — Hör’ ich das Liedchen klingen — with the @chambermusicsociety of Lincoln Center.

Join us tomorrow for Schubert’s masterpiece with the @brooklynartsongsociety. Our Winterreise is at 5 p.m. at @roulette_intermedium as the 2nd part of part of an epic day of Schubert song cycles, beginning with Die schöne Müllerin and concluding with Schwanengesang.

I’m also looking forward to reuniting with the wonderful musicians of the @chambermusicsociety in December for performances of Bach Cantatas!

Gotta give it up to the guy who started it all…my man, Sophocles (in my old Astoria stomping grounds).

Tonight was the last performance of our fantastic production of Oedipus Rex (Jocasta‘s Line) by @studiowaynemcgregor at @operaen_ Thank for to the wonderful cast and crew, orchestra and chorus for work of the highest quality. I am very proud to be a part of this project.

And here’s to another very special guy, Igor himself who created an opera and a tenor role for the ages. I’m so pleased that I will sing Stravinsky’s king again later this season for my Czech debut in April with Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra (@symfonickyorchestrcro).

I’ll miss Oslo and this opera company for the warm, supportive people who made it such an artistically and personally fulfilling experience. Tusen Takk!
