Happy 65th birthday to baritone and teacher Sanford Sylvan! 

(He also shares an identical birthday with Windy City Operaman’s sister!)

On this day in 1991 John Corigliano‘s The Ghosts of Versailles had its world premiere at the Met.

Dan Soda (Windy City Operaman) is a Chicago native whose first visit to opera was at age 17 and Massenet’s Werther with Troyanos and Kraus. Nothing was ever the same. Opera and concert performances, recordings and video are an obsession. He prepares Parterre Box’s daily birthday and anniversary tributes. He also enjoys concerts, live theater and movies.
