Posted: 10/8/14 at 2:10pmI love TITANIC and his is an amazing voice for a duet that has always left me wanting a stronger tenor voice in it.

Posted: 10/8/14 at 4:52pmI love Heppner-his participation alone makes me want to see it (I don't especially love the music, but he could sing the phone book and I'd listen).

Posted: 10/8/14 at 5:15pmThere was no one better than Heppner in his prime--talk about instant-classic performances. But lately his voice has sounded pretty rough. Here's hoping that he's past his recent vocal ailments and back in fine voice.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 10/8/14 at 11:39pmHaving seen Heppner in Wagner, I am sure he can handle the role of Isidor Straus. It may be a way for him to continue to perform without the strain of singing over a Wagnerian orchestra.

Posted: 10/8/14 at 11:48pmHeppner announced in April that he had retired from opera. And despite the hours of pleasure he brought me over the years, it was past time.

Posted: 10/9/14 at 5:44pmI've yet to see a professional production of this show, and I can't wait. I hope it comes here. I love this show.
