What you may not know is Dan spent the 90ʼs as a voice coach for some of the most successful and talented opera singers in the country.

Below are videos from his coaching of the San Francisco Opera Adler Fellows and his large studio of Singers from his 5 years in Chicago.

“For those of you who enjoy opera sung by the world class talent, Iʼm happy to share the nostalgia and joy from the rehearsals we had at that wonderful time.”
