Just two days ago Hymel posted about performing R&J on Facebook. Wonder what happened. (But of course “personal reasons” means “not my business.”

A young Pavarotti. That was my first, second and last impression. I have been waiting for another great voice, crystalline and breathtaking in clarity and knowledge at last brought to us by the marvelous, wonderful Mr. Pene Pati. I shall always remember his power, depth, and sympathy; a charging lion to an affectionate purring cat; enthralling. I am so honored to have heard this master sing. I thank him with all my heart.
