Sol3 Mio star Pene Pati has a lot on this plate at the moment, which is the way we like things on this segment.
Now hitting the end of a season playing Alfredo in La Traviata in Berlin (following stints in Italy, Austria, San Diego and Paris already this year), the Samoan tenor's heading back stateside - this time to Cleveland - to play Cassio in Otello In Concert. Then it's back to France (Aix-en-Provence) for a season of Moïse et Pharaon...
He's missing everyone back home on Mother's Day, especially his own mother, Juliette, to whom he's dedicating his 'I'm Listening To This' selection this morning.
Pene is with us from Berlin to discuss his hectic schedule, making his name in the industry and dying well in opera.
