Randal Turner to Perform Papa Haydn Live Today

Randal Turner to perform Haydn
Don't forget to tune in for the February 12th broadcast of barihunk Randal Turner performing Haydn's "The Seasons" (Die Jahreszeiten) with the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra. The live broadcast will be available over the internet at http://tvslo.si/#ra.ars. You will be asked to download a program called Octoshape in order to hear the broadcast. We tested it and it works fine.
The broadcast begins at 7:30 PM Central European time, so it's six hours difference to New York (1:30 PM) and nine hours to San Francisco/Los Angeles (10:30 AM).

Here he is singing from Don Giovanni. This clip has over 10,000 hits!

Randal Turner Live from Slovenia

Randal Turner: World's Sexiest Don Giovanni turns to Haydn

Readers of this blog voted Randal Turner the sexiest Don Giovanni in the world, so we know that you enjoy looking at him and watching him perform. However, as evidenced by his amazing West Coast recital debut in San Francisco last month, he's a pleasure to listen to as well. His posting of holiday songs was also one of our most popular posts over the last few weeks.

Fans of the singer are in luck, as there will be a live broadcast of the sexy Zürich-based singer on February 12th. Turner will be performing Haydn's "The Seasons" (Die Jahreszeiten) with the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra.

The performance will be available over the internet at http://tvslo.si/#ra.ars. You will be asked to download a program called Octoshape in order to hear the broadcast. We tested it and it works fine. The broadcast begins at 7:30 PM Central European time, so it's six hours difference to New York and nine hours to San Francisco/Los Angeles.

For those of you who still would rather watch Turner perform, you're in luck, as a DVD of his San Francisco recital will be released within the next few weeks. We'll have a link on this site for this of you who want to purchase a copy.

More of Hunky Tom Corbeil at Gotham Chamber Opera






[Click image to enlarge]

The posting of our hot barihunks bench continues with the stunning Tom Corbeil and some more pictures from the Gotham Chamber Opera's production of Joseph Haydn’s "L’isola disabitata (Desert Island)." You can find the earlier post at http://barihunks.blogspot.com/search?q=corbeil.

Corbeil is another in a long line of barihunks coming out of San Francisco's Merola Opera Program, like our previous barihunk Paul La Rosa.

I'm sure that all of us are grateful to the Gotham Chamber Opera for these pictures. If you're in the New York area make sure to support this company. The production continues through February 28. For more information click here: www.gothamchamberopera.org.

Tom Corbeil: Another Merola Hottie

The most common email that I get is someone pitching a barihunk. Nine out of ten times, it's a non-starter and usually someone who belongs on BariChunks, not BariHunks.

So imagine my joy in finding Tom Corbeil in my inbox. It didn't take long for me to realize that I'd already seen him as part of San Francisco Opera's young artist program, Merola. With apologies to La Cieca and her definition of a barihunk that appears at the bottom of this blog, the Merola program seems to be pumping out more barihunks than anyone and they can actually sing! Other Merolinis on this site include fan favorite Daniel Okulitch, Lee Poulis, Ben Wager, Eugene Brancoveanu and emerging superstar John Relyea.

Tom Corbeil was not only a standout at Merola, but he has also won awards from the Metropolitan Opera National Council and Musical Merit Foundation. He also studied with the great Virginia Zeani.

His current gig is with the Gotham Chamber Opera in Joseph Haydn’s "L’isola disabitata (Desert Island)." Perhaps the title explains the lusciously revealing outfit (it can't always be Pearl Fishers). The performance is staged by Mark Morris and will run from February 18-28 at John Jay College in New York City. For more information, visit www.gothamchamberopera.org.
