This weekend is a red letter weekend for me. Not only am I going to Pittsburgh to see Billy Budd (with Nathan Gunn and Greer Grimsley, I might add), but I'm also having a hot date with fellow blogger Ariadne Obnoxious!
I'll be giving a full report (both on Billy Budd, and Ariadne ;) ) when I get back...
Who is this guy? Campbell Vertesi is an operatic bass, of the very low sort. His fach is sometimes called "Basso Profundo" - that's Italian for "he sings really low." Even lower than most basses, which is a bit frightening. He specializes in bass roles like Sarastro (Die Zauberflöte), Sparafucile (Rigoletto), and Colline (La Bohème). This site chronicles Campbell's progress as he begins a career as a young opera singer. If you would like to know more, or wish to submit a complaint about any of the content posted here, please feel free to send him an email.

Hey! I thought the "hot date" part was our little secret??! I see now that I was wrong.... but don't you worry, I'll be ready for whatever *you* can serve up, Vertesi. Ha!
(Look out though, Peter Parker's got his camera out and is looking for a scoop for The Daily Planet/ the Blogosphere!) hee hee ;)
