I love TITANIC and his is an amazing voice for a duet that has always left me wanting a stronger tenor voice in it.
I 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).
There 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.

Having 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.
Heppner 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.
I've yet to see a professional production of this show, and I can't wait. I hope it comes here. I love this show.
