Opera News

I mentioned in the last post that Gabe had just finished an opera called "Florencia en el Amazonas," and the director just recently posted pictures on the University of Houston Moores Opera Center website. The link is here. Just go down towards the bottom of the page and you'll see the title. Gabe is in the 11th picture, dressed in a white shirt with a long wig. The rest of the pics are mainly of the monstrous boat they built.

Gabe's next show is "The Grapes of Wrath," and he will be playing the role of Tom Joad, played by Henry Fonda in the movie version. The opera premeired just last year in the US, and this will be it's first perfromance in the great state of Texas. The composer, Ricky Ian Gordon, will be attending the rehearsals-for opera buffs it's a pretty big deal. The performances are the first weekend in April. We'll give more specifics when we get closer. Gabe is very excited!
