A young friend of mine is organising a one-night show this Sunday of new opera ventures. Details here.
One 20-minute piece by Adam Dixon will be sung by the fabulous Korean-American countertenor, Justin Kim. Try this for size.
Just in: Kim stars in a scratch night for opera

Kim is a typical Korean last name. It’s surprising Justin Kim is a Chinese.
Certain of his gestures and postures remind me of 18th century drawings and caricatures of castrati on the operatic stage. Would love to hear — and see him — in full Baroque regalia spouting Handelian roulades.
Baroque roulades without the vocal wobble, hopefully. (Why does this strike me as a caricature of classical singing? – Oh, well…)
Oops…! Could this be a case of ‘they all look the same to me’? This guy is definitely not chinese, but a Korean-American. Even the script on the video is Korean!
Quite well known for his hilarious parody Kimchilia Bartoli http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdQU-N8b3HA
He is a korean-american, I’m sure and even what he is singing is a korean art song. You can find his another video clips on youtube.
