Check out a recent feature from Pro Opera magazine

Check out a recent feature from Pro Opera magazine in Mexico 🇲🇽 I open up about what motivates me and how I embody new characters, how hard it can be to shake a bad review as a young singer, why Colorado is still in my blood, and the exciting projects I’ve got upcoming. It’s in Spanish so ... google translate 😜 https://proopera.org.mx/entrevista/randall-scotting/

Tonight I'm back to performing for a live audience in a beautiful amphitheatre in California. I am so grateful to be making music with these amazing individuals who all do such a stunning job of bringing the decadent tale of Eliogabalo to life. Thank you @westedgeopera !!

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! 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! 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!

🙌🏼 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...

Today at 4pm EDT
.
Pride has brought together some friends (and UIA roster-mates) and we share our experiences with diversity on the stage. My bit is about growing up in a small town and navigating expectations of masculinity as a countertenor.
.
Given everything that's going on, it's hard not to ask what Pride really means. For me it becomes more important with each year that passes. Now, even though there are no official parades or gatherings, it feels especially necessary to celebrate what unites us, since there is so much pulling us apart.

👣👣 walks to put gold lycra pants back in the closet👣👣 I was really looking forward to singing Cavalli's ravishing music and embodying this debauched, sex-crazed manchild, but Eliogabalo will have to wait… some consolation though that we'll mount this extravagant romp in a year!

From @westedgeopera :
We are postponing the West Edge Festival 2020 to open July 24th, 2021... While the decision was difficult, it was also liberating to change our focus to a year further out. And fearing for our performer’s health was becoming overwhelming. Because of this new thinking, I can now safely say that this decision is not devastating. It’s a relief. I’ve now shifted to looking forward to a full festival next summer with Katya Kabanova, Eliogabalo, and Elizabeth Cree performed just as we want them to be, without the compromises a pandemic would impose.

Feels strange to celebrate during a pandemic, but

Feels strange to celebrate during a pandemic, but this past Sunday was our seven year wedding anniversary 👨‍❤️‍👨 (and twelve illegal years). We wanted it to feel a little special so we decided to cook our own five course dinner, with wine pairings, natch. It lasted four hours because we had to cook then eat then cook then eat then cook then eat, but, obviously, we had the time! The menu was... 1st course: Grapefruit, sweet onion, celeriac root and beet green salad with honey, parsley, and white balsamic dressing; paired with a mango and peach Bellini. 2nd course: Seared colossal sea scallops marinated in lemon, garlic, and orange peel with a cilantro clementine vinaigrette on mashed cauliflower with roasted garlic, butter and vanilla pepper; paired with a Sauvion Rosé d'Anjou. 3rd course: Creamy polenta with oak-aged white cheddar, broiled thick-cut Genoa salami and Modena balsamic reduction; paired with Santa Christina Tuscan chianti. 4th course: Panfried petite pork steaks with an apple pie spiced sweet onion and honeycrisp chutney, with a golden beet salad with sultanas, pistachio and shaved parmesan; paired with an Argyle pinot noir (Willamette Valley). 5th course: Marbled dark chocolate Italian mousse with chopped hazelnuts and sour cherry jam; paired with a Filthy cherry and prosecco cordial and Faldón Columbian espresso lattes.
