Been There, Sung That
Celebrating a career of unforgettable roles

Cosi fan tutte W.A. Mozart
        How I Hate to Share the News

Il Tabbaro
            Nulla silencio
Michele is a barge captain in his 50s.  His wife Georgetta is in her 20s.  The couple has lost a child in the past and have grown apart in their grief.  Georgetta has fallen in love with Luigi.  In this aria, Michele is pondering who his wife’s love might be and names several possible men.  In the end he vows to kill whoever it is that is enticing his wife.

Elixir of Love
            Just as Paris
Seargent Belcore…not a nice guy.  He enters and sees fair Adina and approaches her saying he wants to marry her.  After all, he’s met her five minutes before so naturally he’s in love and wants to get married that day. 

Don Giovanni
            Finch han dal vino
          La ci darem with Holly Henson, soprano
Don Giovanni (Don Juan)…not a nice guy.  In Finch han dal vino, he’s telling his servant Leparello to gather all the maids of the town for a debaucherous party.   In La ci darem, Giovanni has crashed the wedding party of Zerlina and Masetto.  He proceeds to separate Zerlina from the crowd and tried to convince her to spend some time alone with him.   Keep in mind, this is at her wedding, but he’s a nobleman and she’s a peasant and the temptation is too great. 

Pirates of Penzance
            I Am the Pirate King
The Pirate King…formerly not a nice guy.  He has left the nobility to become a pirate and talks about how he no longer hides the fact that he’s a crook as he had to do when he was taking from others as members of the nobility were prone to do. 

Marriage of Figaro
            O Why Were You so Cruel with Dr Traci Pritchard, soprano
We Are Sure of our Case Now
Count Almaviva…not a nice guy.  In O Why Were You So Cruel, he’s questioning Susanna, his wife’s maid servant who is engaged to Figaro, why she’s rebuffed is advances earlier in the day.  Her response is to fool him because he’s being lured into a trap by his wife, The Countess, Susanna, and Figaro.  In We Are Sure of our Case Now the count is catching on to the fact that he is being set up and vows vengeance on those who would try to catch him.

Kiss Me Kate
     Where is the Life that Late I Led
Petruchio…not a nice guy,  is a character in Shakespear’s The Taming of the Shrew which in this show is a musical adaptation of the play.  In this scene Petruchio and Katherine or Kate have just gotten married and he’s lamenting the loss of his single carefree life.  But Kate’s family has money and he’ll give up his old life if he can marry into wealth.

Camelot
            If Ever I Would Leave You
