Family and Career - then and now
At the LA OPERA       NEW OPERA    BALANCING ACTS         FAMILY        CALENDAR        DISCOGRAPHY


Growing up in LA and...

beating a path to operatic stardom


In this video clip, ROD GILFRY traces the development of his career beginning from his childhood days in the suburbs of Los Angeles, circa 1960s. Having grown up in a musical family, he knew early on that he was headed for a music-related career, but oddly, becoming an opera singer was not his first choice among the options on his radar screen then.

Some conclusions that emerge from this clip: 1). Growing up in LA-LA land with its fabled distractions is no obstacle to nurturing a career in a classical art form; and 2.) It is possible to maintain a happy balance between family and a successful career in the performing arts, and ROD GILFRY, opera star and proud family man, is one shining example.

CLICK HERE to hear ROD talk about the other facets of his singing career.

In January 2008, GILFRY takes his act a few miles south of LA to Orange County. On January 8 at 8 pm he sings, with Alan Smith at the piano, an eclectic program of songs that will surely regale the audience and bring to fore his exceptional vocal and dramatic abilities. The show takes place at the IRVINE BARCLAY THEATRE under the auspices of the PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY OF ORANGE COUNTY. Then from January 23-February2, he performs the role of Papageno in OPERA PACIFIC's production of Mozart's "The Magic Flute" at the ORANGE COUNTY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.
