Kyle Guglielmo is new to this site and is another sign that the barihunk bench is deep. He'll be performing on Sunday, September 23 at the Emerging Artist Operatic Showcase at Christ and St. Stephen's Church in New York City at 3 PM. Guglielmo will be joined by soprano Jodi Burns and tenor Adam Ulrich in selections by Mozart, Bellini, Puccini, Donizetti, Rossini, Gounod, Richard Rodgers and Frank Loesser. The event is free to the public.

According to his website, on November 10, Guglielmo will be premiering Daron Hagen's opera Little Nemo in Slumberland with the Sarasota Opera. Based on Winsor McCay's 1905-1914 newspaper comic strip, Little Nemo in Slumberland recounts the adventures of a boy over the course of two nights on a quest to save Slumberland from the Evil Emperor Sol who wants it to be bright all night and day.  Nemo's adventures along the way include encounters with a crystal enchantress, menacing giants, a floating bed, a balloon ride, and a palace that turns upside down.
