I have first seen Ikaia-Purdy some 12 years before in a concert of the Friends of Italian Opera in Ladenburg.
Since then I have followed Ikaia-Purdy to Hamburg, Vienna, many times in Ludwigsburg. The Wilhelm Tell aria in
final Schiller Gala is never to forget. Now we are happy he is singing so often in Karlsruhe in our near. For
my wife and I is one of our favorite belcantists. Now on second Christmas Day we have enjoyed again Boheme
from Puccini- beautiful belcanto! Bravo Ikaia-Purdy. And toi toi toi for Barcelona gala.

Dear Keith,
What a thrill it was to see you in La Bohme in Karlsruhe. You are a great talant. Continue
singing the great roles that will enhance your growth as an artist. I hope you will be singing soon with the
SF opera. We could use your talents and remarkable vocal quality. Great video clips. Keep them coming.
All
the best for the future. |
