Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Lawrence Brownlee is one of the leading tenors of our time. He has sung on opera and recital stages all over the world. Tomorrow night, he will sing in Chicago, wearing the same boots that Pavarotti once wore (in Bellini’s “Puritani”).
A kid from northeastern Ohio, Brownlee is a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan. He has sung the national anthem at Pittsburgh and other NFL games. And, yes, he interpolates the high note at the end of “the land of the free.”
With Jay, he talks about his life and career, and singing and music. His favorite singers? Well, he likes none more than Mel Tormé – whom he first learned about (as many people did) from the sitcom “Night Court.”
On the way out, we hear a little of Brownlee in the “high C’s” aria from Donizetti’s “Daughter of the Regiment.”
