A Podcast Conversation With ...Victor Micallef of The Tenors

By Bill King

I caught up with Tenor Victor Micallef about the upcoming return to live in performance and the first date at Massey Hall. Two years away has taken a toll on the many touring performers who rely on the proceeds and up-close connection with fans to keep careers in motion. There is a genuine feeling we are about to experience a return to normal yet with a virus still in flux, an improved understanding of how we adjust and live with the unknown. May is a month of hope. This is where the conversation begins.
