Welcome and thanks for reading! I'm Anthony, 20-something, Tenor. I'm learning to accept that "tenor" is both a description of what I do, but also of who I am as a person. I like to sing opera. I like to listen to symphonic music. I really love lieder. Wagnephile. Music and the arts are most important to me. I believe they are ways to explore our world in an environment that is beneficial and safe everyone. At the end of the drama, the curtain closes and all the dead get up and walk off stage and we can say we tried, because we did. We experimented and we tried. One of the highlights of my life was when I pretended to conduct in the pit at Wagner's Festspielhaus in Bayreuth, Germany and saw all thousand stages of the Paris Opera. Once I cried during a lecture by Peter Sellars.

Elza van den Heever, currently singing Elizabeth in the Met’s new production of Maria Stuarda has, in a “commitment to professionalism” shaved her head for her role. Give it up ladies and gentlemen.
“Usually hair is part of the look,” she said, emphasizing that she does not particularly consider herself a diva. Instead, “as an actress, it was an opportunity to delve as deep as I could” into the role, Ms. van den Heever said, taking the view that the queen was bald, a subject of some debate. (Smallpox is often blamed.)

Oh my god, the fact that she has tattoos makes her even MORE awesome in my eyes. I don’t know any opera singers with...
She is amazingly kickass.
I got to see her live at the Lyric last spring, and this makes me love her that much more. She is perfect. I can’t deal.
