We introduced barihunk Colin Ramsey to readers last year and then featured him during his Seattle Opera debut in Menotti's The Consul earlier this year.
He's currently back at the Opera NEO Summer Opera Festival and Workshop where he's performing The Speaker in Mozart's The Magic Flute. The production is being done in Aztec style with a costume that we just had to share with readers.
The opera is being performed in English on August 15 and 17 at Crill Performance Hall at the Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego. Tickets are available online.
