He has never been the same since. A student of voice, performance practice, the history of singing and opera, he holds advanced degrees in Italian and has lived and worked in Italy off and on since the 70s. La Scala became a second home as the Met had been during college daze. Now in his native Boston, he works as translator, tutor, and language coach, haunts Symphony Hall, and would haunt the Opera House had it not been demolished in 1958!https://bachtrack.com/files/44264-barry-humphries--weimar-cabaret-australian-chamber-orchestra--hilary-scott--resized.jpg300440Meow Meow and Barry HumphriesHilary Scott2016-Aug-14, Tanglewood, Seiji Ozawa Hall: Barry Humphries' Weimar Cabarethttps://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/tanglewood-seiji-ozawa-hall/barry-humphries-weimar-cabaret/14-august-2016/20-002016-08-142016-08-14Tanglewood, Seiji Ozawa HallLenoxMassachusettsUnited States0124042.3532160765359-73.30899953842164
