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.

I think there's a couple that actually require that they perform together. I can't remember their names, but they sang in SF a while back. (They might be the same ones that required a home in Sausalito too ... again, I'm not sure, but that's ringing a bell with this old brain.)
We oboe players ... well ... our only demand is that we bring all our equipment on stage with us. But then we don't do the traveling thing like singers do.
Hope the next few weeks pass quickly for you!
PS Man, I sure have a difficult time reading the verification code! :-/
