Douglas has performed well-loved Baritone roles for regional opera companies across the US, roles including Don Giovanni, Bartolo in the Barber of Seville, Germont in La Traviata, Figaro in the Marriage of Figaro, and the list goes on and on…
His director repertoire is equally as impressive, with productions such as Madame Butterfly, Tosca, Girl of the Golden West, Elixir of Love, and many more. He recently retired as Artistic Director of Rimrock Opera in Montana.
I was lucky enough to work with Douglas as my director during his years in Southern Oregon, as he staged the successful productions of La Boheme, Die Fledermaus, and The Merry Widow.
Doug just wrapped up his school year as Assistant Professor of Voice and Choral Studies at Montana State University in Billings and is currently joining West Bay Opera’s cast of The Magic Flute, singing the role of The Speaker.

What an accomplished individual!!! I love the pic of you with him at the Opera ~ we can learn so much from people outside of our realm (I’m not much of an opera/play person) when we open are hearts and listen to their songs!
