About Me

My photo
Split personality. Liking the arts, especially opera, and hockey and Los Toros. I know, I know THAT one is non pc currently. But I can't help it saw some in Spain and got hooked, but good. But on the other hand right now opera and hockey are in the forefront!

Day OFF? Naw...

thought I'd take the day off, but then News came down the wires:

Petr, the "Avalanche" Kalus PPhoto Chris Jerina, he of the awesome goalies pix..check them out!
to wear jersey number 23....demoted from 32 you think?
Naw, he's been moved up North to pinch hit for a 'charley horsed' Cal Clutterbuck. Hope that this is his lucky time! Kalus, IMO, is one of the faster and very powerful skaters, vide his nickname ... get out of his way when he rushes down the ice.. nothing can stop this big guy!


On the Opera front, I am happy to see a report that a friend, soprano Ying Huang has created the role of Madame White Snake with passion and intensity (World Premiere) in the same named opera by Zhou Long with libretto by Cerise Lim Jacobs at Boston. In the role of her servant, partly female human (green snake) was male soprano (yes, that's his 'fach', and his alone, not a countertenor) Michael Maniaci.. with his eerie and high sounds. Below a taste of Composer's Zhou Long's Chinese style music! Enjoy!


Alas, no clips of the NEW opera are available at the moment.
