Memphis, May 10

Hi everyone, it is May in Memphis! My favorite time of year to be home.

Barbecue, Blues, Baseball, and of course Elvis!

We are having a great springtime. I just returned from a week of study in New York. Great to work and to see friends there.

John is playing baseball and soccer so there are many games to attend, which Tom and I love.

All the best and Happy Springtime!

Los Angeles, April 23

Hi everyone from Los Angeles.

I am so very honored to be here to sing the Verdi Requiem. Perhaps it will never mean as much to me as it does at this time.

My grandfather Kalost Esperian escaped from the Armenian genocide as a young man. However, there were so very many Armenians that did not escape. So many that suffered and died.

I sing to their memory, to their strength, and to their great faith unending.

Love to you, Kallen

Rome, March 22

Hello, Hello from glorious Roma !!!
My stay here is all too brief.

The concert with Marcello Giordani was a joy! So great to sing Verdi in Rome.

Love to all, Kallen

Athens, February 27

Hello, everybody! Greetings from sunny Greece. All is well here. I'm hard at work on Il Corsaro. As soon as things settle down, I'll take in the many sights. What an adventure!! Whew!

Right now I'm dealing with major jet lag and new part syndrome. Help!

All the best and lots of love to you,
Kallen
