I'm fortunate to have a decent amateur bass-baritone voice, and I've also been fortunate to have performed in a number of opera productions with a small but professional company. Most of my work has been chorus, a couple of roles, plus some supernumerary stuff.

If you have questions about actual stagework -- makeup, costumes, props, backstage fun, onstage goofs, and the general wonderful experience of opera, ask me. Or if you've had onstage experience yourself, let's share some of the stories.

I'll be honest about myself and very cautious about telling bad stories regarding colleagues, but I'll otherwise be candid.
