Union Avenue Opera welcomes back Baritone
Robert Garner for
La Traviata, in which he sings the role of Giorgio Germont, Alfredo's father. Robert returns to St. Louis from New York City after singing Sharpless in last season's
Madama Butterfly. In past UAO seasons, he has sung Harlekin in
Ariadne auf Naxos, Ford in
Falstaff, the Count in
Le Nozze di Figaro and Melchior in
Amahl and the Night Visitors.
Mr. Garner's career has taken him all over the country in a variety of opera companies including Opera Colorado, Mississippi Opera, Fargo-Moorhead Opera, Dayton Opera and Anchorage Opera. For several seasons, Robert has been a long-standing member of the Metropolitan Opera associate chorus (both in New York and on tour in Japan), performing in
Aida,
Don Carlo,
Billy Budd and
Götterdämmerung among many other operas.
Below is a video of Robert singing Germont's Act Two aria "Di Provenza il mar" from
