Tony "Thumbs" Tempesta

So we had a blast last night "Live at the Gret" with Pergolesi's La Serva Padrona.

Within this "intermezzo" I play the valet and in this version, a mobster. Here's my entrance as "Thumbs":

Afterwards, bass Steve Morscheck snapped this pic of my alterego...

My operatic life

Well, my "mute operatic life" would be more accurate, although my stage directions and "lines" are many in the second intermezzo. (I'm having fun with this gangster aspect! mumble mumble)

Join me at Gretna Music tomorrow night in Pergolesi's La Serva Padrona. It's gonna be fun.

Read about it here and here. The original posting about my role was here.
