Patrick Egersborg, who we've featured in this year's Barihunks Charity Calendar, was featured as Zuniga in Ringsaker Opera's production of Bizet's Carmen that opened last night in Brumunddal, Norway. The cast also includes Anna Otervik as Carmen, Hallvar Djupvik as Don José, Aleksander Nohr as Escamillo and Tanja Leine as Micaela.

There are seven more performance, which run through November 22. Tickets are available online.

Egersborg is featured in both March and November in our calendar, which you can order by clicking the LULU button below. This year's calendar will fund the creation of the Foundation for the Advancement of Baritones (F.A.B.), which will fund programs to benefit baritones and basses. FAB will commission new music, provide prize money for vocal competitions and financially support other endeavors promoting the baritone and bass voice. Composer Clint Borzoni is working on the first commission, which are two songs for baritone and string quartet based on poems by Hermann Hesse and Hilde Domin.
