From the back of the crowd Mark made quite an entrance, throwing down his napkin gauntlet as Don Quixote with the title song from The Man of La Mancha, with Edd Clark as his Sancho. (Let it be noted that I want all shows to start just this way.) Later in the set Mark sang a stunning and powerful "Be There" (with lyrics by Michael Colby) which was written in response to the 9/11 attacks.
To kick off the second set Edd joined Mark once again to sing a incredibly moving, "Lily's Eyes" from The Secret Garden, and Joan Jaffe joined Mark for "Two of a Kind." Mark capped the set with an adorable, "An Old Fashioned Wedding" from Annie Get Your Gun, paired with Salon producer Tanya Moberly. Mark concluded the evening with a gorgeous duet with Sarah Rice - "Wanting You."
Mark will be appearing as the killer Cyclops in Handel’s ACIS AND GALATEA at The Opera Theatre of Montclair on Saturday, September 10th at 2pm. For more information: www.operamontclair.org
