For several evenings from now until spring 2015, I will be performing in Aida at the Metropolitan Opera. I am part of the "Triumphal March" in the second scene of act two. I'm one of the archers in the march, as is obvious from the photos (That's how Egyptian archers looked back then, I suppose...)
