Two of the hottest barihunks in all of opera will be performing the role of Papageno in Mozart's
The Magic Flute at the Paris Opera. Edwin Crossley-Mercer will sing the first half of the run from April 17-May 14, with Bjorn Bürger taking over from May 26-June 28th. The production is directed by Robert Carsen.
In April, Bürger will be singing Dandini in Rossini's
La cenerentola at the Frankfurt Opera, where he will return after his Papageno to take on another Mozart role - Masetto in
Don Giovanni. Crossley-Mercer will stay at the Paris Opera where he takes on Brander in Berlioz's
La Damnation de Faust later this year.
Barihunk Papageno Crossley-Mercer is in this video as the Vogelfänger (Bird Catcher) taken at the Paris Opera and uploaded to DailyMotion three days ago. I trust you enjoy it; the voice is excellent and the humor is devastating. As for the costume, well that is an idea from the Canadian Mr Robert Carsen who was hired to produce the set. The show is on at present in Paris:
