So much fun this morning to accept Brad Cresswell’s generous invitation to perform at his station WGTE-FM in Toledo, with the three winners of the Michigan District of the Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions. Josh Lovell and Sandra Periord are current UMich students (and in the cast of Cosi fan tutte), and Jeff Byrnes is a Resident Artist at Michigan Opera Theater. I get to work with them all, and today we had the opportunity to talk a bit about what we do, and to make some music. Here’s the link to the broadcast. I’m so proud of these singers, performing beautifully and expressively on the radio at a very early hour. Thanks to everybody involved!
