This season with the company, he will appear as Parpignol in La Bohème, Dr. Caius in Falstaff, and First Armoured Man in Die Zauberflöte. He made his Tulsa Opera debut earlier this year as Don José in The Tragedy of Carmen. Most recently, he made his role and house debut with Pacific Opera Project as Canio in Pagliacci. Recent summer engagements include performances with The Santa Fe Opera as the Animal Tamer and as a waiter in Der Rosenkavalier.
