Joining Theater Dortmund

August 21, 2013 By Ian Sidden

In September, I’m joining Theater Dortmund in Dortmund, Germany as a full time member of their opera chorus for two years. I’m thrilled to be working with them, and I’m very much looking forward to the season that they have planned.

Theater Dortmund

Rehearsals begin in September, the first premiere is Don Carlo on Sept. 29, and for now my wife and I are settling into our lives in Dortmund.

Lots of changes and excitement!
