Recent productions include Le comte Ory for Edmonton Opera; Lucia di Lammermoor in Tennessee; Candide in Salt Lake City; La fille du régiment for Hawaii Opera Theatre; Tosca for The Rheinsberg Festival just outside of Berlin; Threepenny Opera for Studio Theatre; La Bohème in Winnipeg; Aïda in Toledo and Charlotte; Manon in Montreal; Don Giovanni for Toledo Opera; Die Fledermaus for Knoxville Opera; Eugene Onegin for Opera Carolina; Don Pasquale in Honolulu and Oh! Christmas Tree for Theatre of the New Heart right here in Edmonton. Upcoming projects: Madama Butterfly in Knoxville, Carmen in Winnipeg, and Turandot in Grand Rapids, Michigan. But before all of that, Brian heads back for a summer of tour guiding in Berlin.
