The Unknown Tenor's First Operatic Performance! Scene: "Je crois entendre" Thomas: Mignon (1995)

[@TheUnknownTenor]

While in graduate school, our young Unknown Tenor joined the famed Crittenden Opera Studio and performed two French opera scenes during the spring of 1995. These were his first public operatic performances (at least as a tenor). In this scene, the somewhat foolish Wilhelm Meister becomes intoxicated by the charms of the actress Philine, while his servant/adopted daughter Mignon grumbles to herself in disgust. Unfortunately, no notes accompanied the cassette tape from which this live track was digitized, and so the names of the other singers as well as the accompanist are unknown.
