Jason McVicker, one of the first contributors to parterre box under the name “Enzo Bordello,” was a private clinical social worker/therapist at Lakeview Center for Psychotherapy and a visiting faculty member at the University of Chicago School of SSA, the Jane Addams College of Social Work at UIC and Loyola University School of Social Work. Jason’s grandmother instilled a love of opera in him at a young age and he carried that passion with him until his death in 2016 at the age of 54. His husband, Michael Worley, notes, "Jason was a walking encyclopedia of opera, which he discovered at the age of eight. He could tell you the year of any major singer's debut at a certain opera house, recognize the singer in most audio recordings, and tell you the whole cast of most Metropolitan Opera broadcasts. Jason worked as stage manager at the New Orleans Opera and later traveled extensively to the great American and European opera houses. He wrote numerous opera reviews for Windy City Times, and most recently for an Italian online opera zine, GB Opera.”
