Comprimario

Rodell — Fri, 17 Dec 2004 12:03:00 +0000

“The career of a comprimario is a beautiful one, of the utmost importance, dignity and responsibility.”
- Tito Gobbi, ON HIS WORLD OF ITALIAN OPERA, 1984

CHARACTER TENOR

Rodell — Thu, 16 Dec 2004 23:59:00 +0000

“Zwischenfach” voice with fine characterization ability.

A product of German theater tradition. It is large with plenty of of metal and capable of clear declamation.

The Charaktertenor must have the acting ability of a Spieltenor and often the cutting power of the Heldentenor.

Filipino Choir Guest Singers

Rodell — Fri, 23 May 2003 23:34:53 +0000

My colleagues Karen Vuong (soprano), Kristen Mata (soprano), Kelly Krantz (mezzo-soprano), Shawn Thuris (tenor) and Apollo Wong (bass) will be singing with my Filipino Choir for one of my choir member’s (Toni Baliton) 50th Wedding Anniversary at St. Gerard Majella Catholic Church in Culver City. They will be singing the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin (Wagner), and will join singing with the choir for “Love Is The Answer.”

I am also very happy to receive a scholarship from Opera Buffs, Inc.

Last night’s rehearsal for the 50th Wedding Anniversary Mass was long but successful. The choir members worked hard, and I know that they will sing really well on Saturday, May 24th.

That’s it for now… check back later!
