David, are you familiar with the Summer Zarzuela Festival in El Paso, TX? Some summer day - I hope you'll be able to take your group there to see, listen & perform zarzuela!!
Years ago, I was able to return home as I was performing with The Spanish Rep Theater (El Repertorio Espanol) of New York City in our subdued production of LUISA FERNANDA. Quite a successful showing in El Paso & run of the show as well. LUISA is a fantastic opera with lush, beautiful music (two piani will sound fantastic!); will you be singing Vidal? Quite a distinguished baritone role!! I wish you well!
EV realizing the trip from Marshall to El Paso is not like a jaunt through the New England states!!
