His other opera roles include Guglielmo (Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte), Stefano (Donizetti’s Viva La Mamma), and The Duke of Plazza-toro (Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Gondoliers). He has also been active in the Chorus for Utah Opera, performing in their productions of Cosi fan tutte (Mozart), Les pêcheurs de perles (Bizet), Die Entführung aus dem Serail (Mozart), and Turandot (Puccini).
