The last stop on my cross country operatic extravaganza took me to Eugene, Oregon to sing Marcello in La Boheme with Eugene opera. I was able to work with some really fascinating and entertaining people, whom I had hoped to document in great detail on the show, beginning with last week’s guest, Emily Pulley. Unfortunately, I fell victim to some pretty serious bronchitis, which even now, 2 weeks later, I am still valiantly fighting. I had to pretty much shelve the microphone so that I could be sure that I would be able to make it through all 3 performances. I was able to whoop it out at the post performance dinner after the matinee on Sunday and capture the few gems that make up this episode. This week’s abbreviated show has several guests;
