I've heard of Rodney Gilfrey, but I thought he mentioned studying with an opera teacher in San Francisco -- I forget the name, but I don't recall it being Seth Riggs. We could ask him; he lurks on Opera-L and his email address is in the archives.
The others I don't recognize. I would venture to make the presumption that Mr. Riggs' technique is more suitable for musical theater styles than operatic ones? Or perhaps it is good for the less "operatic" classical sounds of a singer like Dawn Upshaw.
