I’m the mother of the other Diego Matamoros, the Toronto actor,whom I wanted to become an opera singer because he is a baritone like you, but whose calling was theatre and where he is being very successful. I listened to your “Per me giunto” and would enjoy hearing you life. How about contacting Alexander Neef here in Toronto? He is our recently appointed General Director and has to plan the upcoming performances.
Anyway, lovely to have a Diego Matamoros in opera ! I look forward to hearing you life, somewhere soon. I go to Europe every spring. How about in Valencia? My birth city.
Toi,toi,toi, y hasta quien sabe!
