IWV baritone signed for Santa Monica Opera
Once again local voice teacher David Hodgson is prepping for a stint on a prominent Southern California opera stage. Next month he will sing the role of villainous Baron Scarpia in the Los AngelesMetropolitan Opera company’s staging of one of the most popular operas of all time, Giacomo Puccini’s “Tosca.”
A major player on the local musical scene since his arrival on the Upper Mojave in 1988, Hodgson has starred in Community Light Opera and Theater Association productions of “West Side Story” and “South Pacific,” and is also well-known for solo appearances with the Desert Community Orchestra.
Despite the time demands of his teaching career here, Hodgson considers himself fortunate to be able to respond occasionally to requests for his participation on a professional opera stage, building on his advanced music studies at California State University Northridge.
“These professional appearances are enjoyable and instructive for me,” the gifted baritone says, “and they enrich my capability for meaningful teaching of my students.”
Los Angeles Metropolitan Opera was founded in 2008 with the mission of providing top-quality, affordable opera performances by the area's best professional singers, directors, designers and musicians. In the company’s presentation of Puccini's timeless story of passion, betrayal, and sacrifice at Miles Memorial Playhouse in Santa Monica, Hodgson will appear Friday evening, October 15, and Sunday afternoon, October 24. He invites persons desiring more information to contact him at 760-371-4276.
