Recent and upcoming guest appearances include Lodovico (Otello) with the Berliner Philharmoniker under Sir Donald Runnicles, Ashby (La Fanciulla del West) for Korean National Opera, Leporello (Don Giovanni) at the Chautauqua Opera Conservatory, Handel’s Messiah at the Aspen Music Festival, and Benoit / Alcindoro (La Boheme) at Music Academy of the West.
