    Too pretty to be a tenor.

  • Miv Tucker says:

    I mean, if they ever did a remake, he’d be a shoo in for the part.

  • In bocca al lupo says:

    Bravo Laurence, an exceptional young talent, studied at RCM for undergrad, great guy with a stellar future.

    Seems he studies with the wonderful Italian-American, Jack LiVigni, who used to visit London and work at Covent Garden from either Philadelphia or New York before the pandemic. He won’t go wrong with Jack! Very sound teaching and terribly nice man.

    Minuscule voice.
