A long hiatus from blogging, but I’m back. A lot has happened since my last post, so I am not going to bore you with past singing engagements (just check the engagements section for all the details.)

I’m currently in Houston, rehearsing for Billy Budd, where I’m singing the role of Squeak. It’s not a big vocal role, but the knife fight with Billy Budd adds a lot. So far, rehearsals have been going well. Today, Sunday, will be a 6-hr staging with orchestra, where only 3-hr will involve me, since I’m only singing in Act I. Tomorrow is Orchestra Dress, and Tuesday will be Final Dress. We open on April 25, Friday, for 5 performances, ending on May 9th. After Houston, it’s a never-ending learning of music for the Iturbi (crossing fingers), Blier recital, Ariadne, Manon and Lulu.

Something good, though, is I like the bar scene in Houston. I never expected it to be so attractive. Been out a few times, and I like how people dress, as well as how they are groomed properly. It’s a lot better than Chicago, sad to say it.

I think I need to go now, since I’m starting to talk about the nightlife in Houston. Check back very soon for more updates.
