Hot as Hell in San Francisco







[From top to bottom: John Relyea, Austin Kness, Brian Mulligan, Marco Vratogna, Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Greer Grimsley]

The San Francisco Opera announced its 2009-10 season today and hell is going to be really hot. They are performing Gounod's Faust with three barihunks on the stage in the same night! This may be a Barihunks first. The barihunk with the prettiest eyes in all of opera, John Relyea, will be singing Méphistophélès, Brian Mulligan will be singing the Valentin, and Austin Kness (who was a sexy Don Giovanni) will be singing Wagner.

Also burning up the stage in San Francisco will be Dmitri Hvorostovsky in Il Trovatore, Greer Grimsley in Salome and the devilishly hot Marco Vratogna as the evil Iago in Verdi's Otello.

San Francisco under David Gockley always has ravishingly beautiful sopranos, so it's nice to see some barihunks in his casts. We all know that they love hot guys in San Francisco, so the seats should be full and the opera glass rentals sold out.

    Love that Salome shot of Greer Grimsley. Just reviewed him as Scarpia in Tosca.

    Brian Mulligan sang in the Gilbert & Sullivan group here when he was in high school (RUDDIGORE and PRINCESS IDA). Great voice and a real comic talent.

    I went to high school and college with Austin. He is a wonderful person, great friend! Enjoy listening to him. He's too far away from us to hear anymore. :( We miss him here in Iowa
