Big Voice and Even Bigger Heart

You can take the kid out of the Met but not the Met out of the kid... High hopes are certainly springing eternal.. Opportunity is certainly knocking...the question is, which door to open?! How many other clichés shall I present here? The greatest operas usually include the tenor winning.... Dear friends, our hero has finally crossed that great stage of life and now has a voice outside of music. A big voice, as big as his song...and you want to know what? He has won, multitudes, he has and it shall not end here! He's got the right people (always start out with a few of the right people and of course work your way up) in his corner.. and seniority did not win out, just the love of our dear tenor. Mmmm satisfaction after so many years at the gray factory churning out 12 tonal crap, you know, the kind of stuff that leaves a bad taste in your mouth and only conductors enjoy for its complexities... he has finally arrived in a respectful venue, a place where he was handpicked to become the next whatever... the claim to fame for ALL parties involved... a brainchild, a centerpiece to certainly be presented in the most flattering of lights... well all this blogger can say is.. thank you Europe, thank You Austria and thank you Landestheater. 200 jahre indeed!
