Also, don't forget that for the next two weeks we'll be taking submissions for our first-ever charity Barihunks calendar. Send High Res photos and bio to Barihunks@gmail.com.





New Yorkers are gearing up for Pisaroni's return as Leporello in the Met's "Don Giovanni" with fellow barihunks Mariusz Kwiecien as the Don and Joshua Bloom as Masetto. Here is Kwiecien singing the Champagne Aria at the Met in 2009. Click HERE for tickets and additional cast and performance information.

  1. It's very sad that Mozart is being barked in that way, by Kwiecien and some others... You used to have to sing the notes on the page. Here, he only sings about half of what is in the score and shouts the rest. Look up Samuel Ramey singing this aria if you want to hear the actual notes.
