"Hosanna…a client!"

The Dream Agent called to ask me if I might want to sing Lohengrin in 2009. I, after falling out of my chair, simply said a resolute "Yes".

My first big gig!

The performances will be concertante and will take place in Frankfurt an der Oder, Potsdam and Berlin. Lohengrin…my dream role….now a reality. I can barely believe it. Thinking of this gig brought back memories of a caricature drawing a colleague from the chorus in Pforzheim made of me a couple of years ago. The bubble above my head is Lohengrin's most-famous line in the piece. The book is titled "How will I be a great tenor."



Because it was meant at the time tongue-and-cheek, I find it especially poignant somehow.

My progress with the Voice Teacher has also taken a great leap forward and is producing some pretty amazing results. Things are looking up.
