Dan Weeks is crazy

Dan Weeks, tenor who is both a member of the Metropolitan Opera and on staff at the University of Louisville, is simply amazing. He has not given a recital in quite some time, and he seldom performs in the midwest, so i had pretty much forgotten how great he really is. this afternoon, however, he performed one of the finest recitals i have ever heard.

he had the audience from his first note. these days it is hard to find any type of performance that doesn't have coughing and/or whispering throughout, but this was a nice exception. EVEN the children in the audience seemed to get that they were hearing something special.

i won't plug too many people, but i must encourage anyone that is within an area where Dan Weeks is performing (tyipically in an opera company) to check him out.
