New York Festival of Song
Rick sings again. 
This from Allan Kozinn in the Wall Street Journal.
“a stirring baritone aria with neo-Romantic heroics and monumentalism at its core from Christopher Theofanidis’s “Heart of a Soldier,” an opera about Rick Rescorla, a retired Army officer who died saving others in the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.”

We’re making a short film this summer in Southeastern Connecticut. Home of Electric Boat. Home of Eugene O’Neill. Home for a new group of film makers. The film is called STAG and it’s about how we change when we sit together in the dark and watch films. It’s written by me; directed by Kevin Newbury and starring Sarah Steele and introducing Rachel Jett. STAG is produced by Electric Roots in association with Principe Dynamics.
