Cange's Corner
H.G.O.
October 12, 2015 Many years ago when I made a dedicated decision to leave the ‘night-club/showroom/supper-club’ industry, and embark upon a career in opera, I had a goal in mind: Make a debut at the ‘Big Four’ by the age of 35 (I was 28/29 years old at the time). The so-called ‘Big Four’ consisted […]
"So what happens now?" "Where am I going to?"
I spoke to a colleague the other night about my first Equity job… the one that got me that ever prized ‘union card’ when so many of us were looking for a break in show-business. It was 1985, and I didn’t attend my college graduation in order to be in Brunswick, Maine to start rehearsals […]
And then…Spring
And finally I awoke this morning to the glories of Spring: The sun broke over the East Side of New York, and bathed my Upper West Side 35th floor New York residence with a golden glaze. An hour-long exercise walk in Central Park after morning coffee, found me in the company of many other New […]
Tears, Jeers, and Cheers
January 21, 2015 The close of 2014 and start of 2015 found myself and my family in a state of panic as my father suffered a devastating head injury while visiting me in New York City. What was to be a fun visit for my parents to see me perform at the Metropolitan Opera, and […]
From Gamble Auditorium to List Hall
November 10 (my birthday), 2014 After graduating from Baldwin-Wallace College (now Baldwin-Wallace University) 30 years ago, I had never stepped foot back onto campus to speak to students, present a masterclass, or even sing an alumni recital. This all changed recently thanks to an invitation from an old classmate (Nanette Canfield) who has run the […]
All Hands On Deck at 'Vann Vocal Institute'
September 30, 2014 When your body (and your wife) finally tell you to throttle back, you had better listen. Therefore I write this entry from my bed, bored to tears, but still panicked over what must be done in the next few weeks. The Vann Vocal Institute in Montgomery, Alabama is an intense week for […]
Build It, and They Will Sing!
July 26, 2014 As I sit in Denver International Airport awaiting my flight to Tokyo and my next work assignment; I am reflecting upon the past four weeks of intense work at Land of Enchantment Opera Institute (LOEOI). There are more summer vocal study programs out there than you can shake a stick at these […]
A Cunning Little Production
May 14, 2014: When I was contacted a year and a half ago about participating in a concert version of Janacek’s The Cunning Little Vixen, I told my agent/manager: “Great, no problem; it’ll be fun. Little did I know how much fun it would be…but how much ‘work’ it would be too!! Below is the link […]
A Day In My Life
I have been asked on occasion to write a few articles for our trade publication: The AGMAzine. Below is a copy of the article which has (or will) recently appeared. This may be a good way to kick off the year 2014…since I have rehearsal later this morning to start the post holiday season! A […]
The Age of Envy
This article below was excellent. Mr. Reich’s appearance last weekend on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” has proven yet again that his ‘broken record, same old, one-note, sour tune’ still resonates with tin-ear followers. I have spent 35 years in show business in an attempt to bring joy to a world with my meager talents, […]
