The Chicago Sun-Times awarded Lyric Opera of Chicago's The Listeners 4 out of 4 stars!
"'The Listeners' delivers an eerie thriller that captivates from first note to last" chicago.suntimes.com/music/2025/0...
We'll perform 4 more times. I play the Chief of Police (a non-singing acting role).

'The Listeners' delivers an eerie thriller that captivates from first note to last

Missy Mazzoli’s fourth opera work definitively establishes her as one of the major composers of our time.

Cosmic horror is always at its most effective when juxtaposed with deep personal trauma ...

Check out @aliciahilton.bsky.social’s poetic and unsettling “From Spores and Tentacles, The Celestial Mother Shall Reign.”

If you dare, of course ...

4 STAR REVIEW FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: "Lyric’s ‘Rigoletto’ updates Verdi’s opera without robbing its vitality."
There are 6 more performances. I appear in Act 1 and Act 2 as a guard and as an abductor. chicagotribune.com/2024/09/15/r...

Review: Lyric’s ‘Rigoletto’ updates Verdi’s opera without lessening its vitality

Director Mary Birnbaum offers up a “Rigoletto” that’s partly revisionist yet has all the traditional pleasures of Italian opera-going.

REHEARSING! I am thrilled to be back on stage at Lyric Opera of Chicago. I have a non-singing role in Rigoletto. I appear in Act 1 & Act 2 as one of the Duke’s guards and as an abductor.
I’m overjoyed to be part of the cast. There are 7 performances. lyricopera.org/shows/upcomi...

Rigoletto

Heart-wrenching tragedy accompanied by unforgettable scores and the soaring voices of Igor Golovatenko, Mané Galoyan, and Javier Camarena.
