In his time back home, he has sung in revues with Fresco Opera Theatre, the role of Father in Humperdinck’s Hansel & Gretel with SNC Opera Workshop, King Melchior in Menotti’s Amahl and the Night Visitors with Skylark Opera Theatre, and several coro and small ensemble engagements with Minnesota Opera.
