    He reminds me of the young tenor in Cabaret who sings Tomorrow Belongs to Me:

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

    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.
