Upcoming Barihunk Concerts of Interest: Christopher Temporelli and Markus Beam

Christopher Temporelli
On October 16, Christopher Temporelli performs at the Chamber Music Society in Pusan, Korea in a concert dubbed "Enchanting Low Voice, Christopher Temporelli." We couldn't agree more with the title.

If Korea is too far off the beaten path, he returns to New York City on October 8th to perform at the 2012 Columbus Day Parade Gala and then to perform live from the parade’s red carpet, singing Verdi's ‘O tu Palermo’ from Don Carlos, which will be broadcast on ABC and international affiliates. This year, the Parade will be marching up Fifth Avenue from 44th to 72nd Street.

As we've mentioned previously, he makes his Michigan Opera Theater debut in the role of Achille in Handel’'s Giulio Cesare on November 10th with David Daniels in the title role.Temporelli will be appearing in the 2013 Barihunks calendar, which is slated for release in early October.

Markus Beam

North Carolina appears to be more than a swing state in this year's Presidential election, it seems it's become a cultural hub. We've had a disproportionate amount of barihunks news coming out of the Tar Heal State, with the latest being a recital by Markus Beam.

On Sunday, October 7th, Beam will sing selections from opera, song and musical theater at the Cultural Center in Lincolnton, which is in the old First Baptist Church. It's being produced by the Lincoln County Concert Association and tickets are only $20. Lincolnton is less than an hour from Charlotte and we assure you that it will be well worth the drive. For additional information or tickets call (704) 732-9066 or email lincolntoncultural@bellsouth.net.

Nathan Gunn Announced for Santa Fe Premiere

Nathan Gunn: Spotted in Santa Fe

Barihunks spotted Nathan Gunn at a performance of Griselda in Santa Fe and we were wondering what brought him to town since he wasn't in any of the operas. We have since learned that he'll be singing with the company in 2015 in the world premiere of Cold Mountain, which is based on the best-selling novel about a Civil War deserter by Charles Frazier. The opera features music by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Jennifer Higdon and a libretto by Gene Scheer.

Santa Fe will also features two other world premieres in upcoming seasons, Oscar by Theodore Morrison, based on the life of Oscar Wilde in 2013 and Miss Fortune by Judith Weir in 2014. 
Daniel Okulitch & Markus Beam

There is no shortage of barihunks in Santa Fe for those who can't wait for Cold Mountain. Daniel Okulitch continues to receive raves as Abdul in Menotti's The Last Savage. Markus Beam was a pleasant last minute replacement as Schaunard for fellow barihunk Keith Phares in Puccini's La Boheme. For a complete cast list, visit the Santa Fe Opera website.

Markus Beam sings Guglielmo's aria, "Non siate ritrosi", from Mozart's Così fan tutte:
