Why do random straight guys stop me on the street?

Why do random straight guys stop me on the street? What’s an Enstrom? Can Chris Hemsworth even sing? I had the pleasure of chatting with Jonathan Eifert for his podcast over at Classical Post where we discussed these important questions and also talked about a couple of upcoming recording projects. You can listen to the full episode online or on Apple, Spotify, or Google podcasts.

Lusty troublemaker; spoiled bastard heir; maniacal

Lusty troublemaker; spoiled bastard heir; maniacal whore; all wrapped up in the sublimely beautiful music of Cavalli. That's how I've spent my last few weeks, singing my tits off in the dabauched and anti-heroic fantasy of Eliogabalo. Get into it.... tickets at West Edge Opera - we open on 31 July.

This one's a rarity and it’s so beautiful! Bost

This one's a rarity and it’s so beautiful! Boston Baroque is streaming Handel’s Jephtha, which I had the joy of performing with some wonderful singers in 2019. I had a lot of fun reconnecting with old friends for this one, and the choruses are stunning too! Stream it for the next 30 days... it's free! 🎶🎶

The beautifully filmed production of FLIGHT that I

The beautifully filmed production of FLIGHT that I perform in with Seattle Opera is finally available! 🎉 Streaming starts now and continues through April 25th. I can't stop talking about it! I am so incredibly proud of the work that we accomplished (especially during the pandemic). It was a pleasure to sing and I hope you enjoy it!

"American countertenor Randall Scotting is marvelous as the Refugee, his plangent, rich-toned instrument possessing just the right degree of otherworldliness to suggest his mysterious origins and the complexities of his unique dilemma. He's a compelling actor as well, which ensures that his final aria and its dramatic reveal (no spoilers) lands with due pathos." - Musical America

Surrounded by planes!! It's the 2nd week of filming at the @museumofflight with @seattleopera and the film crew is massive... like 60 people! The opera takes place in an airport terminal and this is as close as it gets to the real thing, with 39 historic aircraft around the gallery. It's a very inspired location for this. ✈️ Also, I might need to invest in one of these over-the-shoulder two-handed camera harness things, just for, you know, selfies on the beach and the like. 🤣🤣🤣

The first day of audio recording is already here!

The first day of audio recording is already here! Lucky us, we're in the acoustically excellent @BenaroyaHall with the @seattlesymphony. They're a dream to sing with as we begin to bring to life Dove’s opera FLIGHT. ✈️ Hearing the orchestra for the first time, and the immense color and beauty they bring, never gets old! It's so much better than me just practicing alone in a small room, singing high notes at a wall!!

Also, because of covid, it's the first time I've had to sing in the audience seats, with the conductor's back to us, and 15 feet from my fellow castmates!

I promise I'm smiling from ear to ear under here! 😁 3 days into rehearsal and I'm excited to be making music again, and so grateful to Seattle Opera for finding a way to bring us all together and to make it happen. Even 6 feet apart in rehearsals, I'm feeling really close to this ✨SUPER TALENTED✨ cast I get to sing with in Flight ✈️

🙌🏼 Some great news! 🙌🏼 @seattleopera has found a creative way to move forward, amidst the pandemic, with our production of Flight by the British composer Jonathan Dove. It's been reimagined for filming and I'm so glad to be singing the challenging and complex role of the Refugee with an incredible cast. I'm also immensely grateful to work again with Seattle Opera -- Handel's Semele in 2015 was my first production there and it was a great experience all around. Flight will be streaming from April 3-25, 2021 ✈️ More details coming soon!

Here we are, the amazing Stephen Stubbs on lute and me on countertenor, recording in LA earlier this month. All the usual 17th century suspects showed up... and a few newbies. Purcell, Dowland, the Lawes bros, Blow, Cesti, a couple of French guys... We all carried on about love, loss, and solitude. It was an intense couple of days, and I felt hopeful putting my heart into making music again after so many months.

🌞 🌵 Sun's up... hey Arizona! Cactus instead of evergreens and 100 degree heat by 7am... hiking here's a little different than in the mountains of Colorado, but the sunrises are stunning and the views are great.
.
I'm in Arizona for a couple of weeks and I've been spending tons of time in nature -- keeping healthy and grounded for when theatres open again and we can get back to making art...
