Another Opera with Two Barihunks

Back in February Barihunks raved about our latest find, the lean and beautiful Vittorio Prato (http://barihunks.blogspot.com/search?q=prato). He was performing with fellow barihunk Erwin Schrott in Faust in Valencia.

Once again, the wait for photos was well worth it as we received this photo from the dress rehearsals. Barihunks has to go on record as loving this trend to cast two hunks in a single performance, like the recent post of Schaldenbrand and Valone in Boston Lyric Opera's Don Giovanni or Alex Esposito and Mariusz Kwiecien in London's Don Giovanni: http://barihunks.blogspot.com/2008/10/don-giovanni-and-leporello.html.

Also, to our loyal readers, keep the pictures and hot tips coming!

Bevy of Barihunks at Boston Lyric Opera

Once again, Mozart's Don Giovanni is providing Barihunks with a stage full of hunky baritones. Two readers fired off emails about Chris Schaldenbrand walking onstage at Boston Lyric Opera with his shirt open as the title character, so the search was on for photos. Luckily, BLO was kind enough to send us rehearsal photos.

The Don Giovanni is Chris Schaldenbrand, who has appeared on this site before. But the pictures also revealed another barihunk in the role of Masetto, Joseph Valone. You can watch them in action at: http://www.blo.org/video/donG_b_roll.html.

For more information or to buy tickets to the remaining performance on Tuesday, May 5, click here: http://www.blo.org. I've also included the banner for Don Giovanni from the BLO site, because they always have great marketing. Clearly, this image was based on Schaldenbrand who looks just as good animated. Even if you can't make the opera, it's worth visiting their site which is as interesting as some of the bigger houses.
