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.

Some final pictures from inside this beautiful, swervy, and very red and gold opera house before I head off to settle in to my next gig in Omaha. It has been such a pleasure, and I feel so fortunate to have been here, covering in Agrippina, for the last two months. Crossing my fingers for a speedy return to the big house! 🤩

@arcostanzo was praising the benefits of EMS (electrical muscle stimulation), so I tried it out with Simone at EPulse. Quite a weird feeling at first, but I have to say, I enjoyed it. And it ended up being a really challenging workout. Here I am, drenched in sweat afterward!⠀
