I always wanted to be in music. I was bad at math, Russian and literature and I guess I was somewhat of a wild boy. I used to play soccer and liked boxing and swimming. But through it all, I loved music.

-Dmitri Hvorostovsky

We get to see and hear the singer in Simon Boccanegra at San Francisco Opera. I can’t wait! (It opens today, but we’ll be going later.)
