Yes! It's my professional opera début, singing the role of Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda minister in the Nazi régime during the second World War in Andrew Ager's chilling and forthright chamber opera presenting the last ten days of the Führer's existence.

Come down to the historic Mayfair Theatre with its quaint nearly-tuned piano to see this one-of-a-kind presentation. It's not only one-of-a-kind because of the subject matter and the composer's threadbare musical treatment of it, but because it will be your chance to see me without a beard. (Goebbels was always clean-shaven) And there is not much to tell, so the running time is quite short: about 45 minutes.

Tickets are a very friendly $25 at the door. For a foretaste of what you will see and hear, watch the trailer, below.
