Opera News QUIZ


Rough Guide QUIZ

back to TOP

As they tell it, it all began sometime in the mid 1990s when JAKE, then a PR guy at SAN FRANCISCO OPERA played his music for FLICKA, the opera star, and her jaw dropped in amazement at what she heard. Thus began an enviable musical partnership that continues to flourish to this very day.

In this video clip, excerpted from a FanFaire interview, FLICKA and JAKE extol each other's virtues both as artist and as human being. And they regale us with their animated narratives about their music-making, such as in JAKE's first hit, DEAD MAN WALKING (commissioned and world-premiered by SAN FRANCISCO OPERA and his latest, THREE DECEMBERS (commissioned and world-premiered by HOUSTON GRAND OPERA as LAST ACTS).

This interview was held following rehearsals for a Spring 2008 recital of Lieder, art songs, and Broadway tunes, presented by the LONG BEACH OPERA at the LONG BEACH PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, and very enthusiastically received by the audience. 

A LONG, GLORIOUS CAREER    "FLICKA AND JAKE"    EXCITING TIMES AHEAD    THREE DECEMBERS

FAREWELL!
