Meet Ricardo Garcia, our Von Asterberg in The Student Prince.
Praised for his “rich, expressive tenor,” Ricardo brings a bright, open-hearted sound and the kind of charm Heidelberg was basically built for.
In Europe, Ricardo spent two seasons in the Ensemble of Staatstheater Darmstadt, singing everything from Alfredo in La traviata and Lenski in Eugene Onegin to Cassio in Otello, Oronte in Alcina, Andres in Wozzeck, and the Shepherd in Tristan und Isolde.
Back in the U.S., he is a former member of the Houston Grand Opera Butler Studio and has appeared with Portland Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Wolf Trap Opera, Boston Lyric Opera, Florida Grand Opera, and Central City Opera.
Come hear him July 3 at the Laguna Playhouse, where Broadway romance gets the full opera treatment.
