Yes, that's Richard Paul Fink, the premier Alberich of our time, singing the Father of Gods. His web site says he's singing Gunther as well, following in the footsteps of Friedrich Schorr. Does this mean there are some big-house Wotans in his future? I'd pay to see it, you bet. And Jay Hunter Morris has a good career hisownself.
Here are the dates and times:
Saturday, July 31, 8:00 p.m.
Wednesday, August 4, 7:30 p.m. (note early start time)
Friday, August 6, 8:00 p.m.
Sunday, August 8, 2:00 p.m.
El Cerrito High School,
540 Ashbury Ave, El Cerrito
Tickets are $15-$65
Oh, and...it'd be nice if Berkeley Opera put up bios of Christine Springer (Brunnhilde), Bojan Knezovic (Alberich), and Stephen Rumph (Loge & Mime), too.
