This is a gala day for you
On October 14, 1979 I spent my birthday attending my first all-star opera gala, thrilled at the chance to hear some of the great singers I’d only experienced on LPs, broadcasts or via my pirate reel-to-reel tapes.
11 pieces since 2013 — in 5 roles, at 4 companies, most often at Metropolitan Opera.
2 pieces as Metropolitan Opera — stats above show all coverage for George Shirley.
