Nick Scholl is the Publisher of parterre box and the silent partner behind the growth of its digital presence since 2009. A professional software engineer, Nick has developed Parterre's visual brand, designed the site, and codes and manages the infrastructure, including integration of adtech.
Nick is also a baritone. He sang his first Mozart Requiem at age 14 and from a young age became interested in the written works of Cornelius Reid, as well as in historical and pirated opera recordings. He went on to study with the American baritone Julian Patrick, among other offshoots of the functional pedagogue Douglas Stanley. He's been an AGMA chorister with the Seattle Opera, Lyric Opera of Baltimore, the Baltimore Concert Opera, as well as numerous performing groups nationwide.
He is an early adopter of online opera queendom, having begun the very first opera blog, Trrill.com, in 2004 at the behest of Alex Ross. Trrill is now a YouTube channel focused on rare historical opera recordings and footage from 1900 to the early post-War era.
