It was my extreme pleasure to be invited to perform for Lawrence Brownlee's homecoming to Youngstown, OH in Barber of Seville. Cessa di piu literally stopped the show and the applause went on for what felt like 10 minutes. It was truly an amazing experience to have a show stopped by audience appreciation.
