Mezzo-soprano Catherine Crotty, tenors Robert Trumble and George Humphrey, alumni of previous programs, along with director Myron Myers, were invited to discuss the program and its unique features. Each guest, accompanied by pianist Celeste Rue, offered a song selection. Listen as they bring their interpretations to life!

"...I was afforded the opportunity to not only study the Italian language, but also to refine my skills as a singer in such a way as to afford me the chance to become employable as a professional opera singer in the Italian repertoire. I currently specialize in the opera of Verdi and Puccini, and am expanding into the works of Wagner, and Strauss. I have been engaged to sing Siegmund next year in Hawaii, and Lohengrin in Frankfurt.
I credit my current success ...particularly to Myron Myers, who has somehow managed to teach me everything I need to know to be engaged in the German Theater system as a Fest singer, in spite of my obstinance and ignorance. I am enjoying considerable success in Germany, and owe a great debt to Mr. Myers..."
