Tonight is our penultimate Rodelinda at @MetOpera. Time has flown and I am so grateful that I could return to this special house and these incredible artists after so long away. Toi x3 to all!

▫️As a token of appreciation for their wonderful audiences, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society @pcmsconcerts is making all of their live-streamed concerts from the past five months available for on-demand (pay-what-you-wish) viewing for one week, May 22 through May 29.
You can find this performance of Schubert’s Der Zwerg there along with other lieder by Beethoven, Schumann and Berg with pianist @conorlhanick. We were fortunate to have been able to share this recital with a live audience on January 21 and thrilled that we can share it with you all again this week.
For the complete recital, check out the link in the bio or at www.pcmsconcerts.org/concerts/livestreams/.

You are such an amazing talent. I love thinking back to hearing you in the background practicing while I talked with Taylor. Hope you and your family are doing well. 🎶🎶🎶
I heard your recital at the Park Avenue Armory in nyc earlier this year. It was wonderful!
Monodrama from same year (and even same key!) as Unfinished Symphony. Amazing interpretation, gentlemen.
Great work, Paul! Just wonderful.
Your voice is beautiful Paul, love the presentation!
▫️Tonight I bid adieu (at least for now) to mon vieux, Bénédict. I’ve had the privilege and pleasure to sing him in three different countries now. Thank you to the fantastic cast, crew and chorus at @dieoperkoeln @francoisxavierroth @guerzenichorch for making it such a fun run!

You “clean up” well! Looking so different with that dark beard and ‘stach. Privilege to sing and create, isn’t it? So happy for you.
Bravo
Heard you yesterday from the Met broadcast of Die Meistersinger taped last fall. You did an excellent job as David.
