Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all having a great summer. I am in my 7th week in Santa Fe and it has been a very busy but rewarding time. My main assignment here has been as the cover conductor to Leonard Slatkin on the world premiere of Life is a Dream by composer Lewis Spratlan.
The opera stars Canadian Roger Honeywell who sang in VO productions of La Boheme and La Traviata and will be creating the role of Jimmy in Lillian Alling. Also singing in this production are John Cheek who sang in the VO's Fidelio and Der Rosenkavalier and James Maddelena who created the role of Richard Nixon in 1986 in the John Adams opera.
We opened on Saturday night and here is a link to a review in the NY Times.
All the best and see you all in September!
~ Les Dala, Assistant Conductor / Chorus Director
