ABOUT ME

Single,gay,not effeminate,have many straight friends, I like people of all ages and from all countries,as long as they are intelligent and curious about many different things.

PHILOSOPHY

I try NOT to separate work and pleasure,as I consider myself very lucky to do a sort of work that I would continue doing even if I didn't need to.My holidays are working,and my work is my hobby.Therefore I never accept a job I know I'm not going to enjoy.

Interests

Music(symphonic,chamber,opera,but also some light music if interesting)Architecture,modern and ancient,Theatre,Archeology,Antiques and collecting,Cuisine and Restaurants,Cars(pre-1970)Animals(especially cats and other felines)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have met many famous people,obviously mostly from the Opera world,but also cinema and Royalty.Oh,yes, and politicians,but they don't count.

Teach, Learn, Share

My work consists basically of coaching opera singers, which is not the same as teaching them to sing,but more a question of teaching them their parts and checking their singing at the same time,as well as being responsible for liaison between conductor and singers.This I usually do with singers who are in full career,but sometimes with beginners too.
