It's almost concert time!! :D Can't wait to make beautiful music with the soloists, choir, and orchestra of #teatronuovo !! #opera #tntancredi #tancredi (at The Performing Arts Center @ Purchase College)

A brief glimpse into the secret life of #teatronuovo instrumentalists. Sitting for 3.5 hours certainly takes it toll! (not pictured: me) #stretching #opera #orchestra #tnmedea (at The Performing Arts Center @ Purchase College)

Slightly scruffier, slightly more disheveled version of myself - but bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and ready for #medea rehearsal 😃#scruffybassoonist #opera #teatronuovo #scenesfromthepit (at The Performing Arts Center @ Purchase College)

Because when you do opera, you gotta get a #selfie with the super title screen #teatronuovo #opera #operapit #bestieswiththesupertitles (at The Performing Arts Center @ Purchase College)

Oh, hey! Look who decided to join the @teatronuovony fun! Sorry pal: you can't go home but you can't stay here. 🕷#imnotsleepingtonight #spidersarefriends #spidersarescary #spidersofinstagram #teatronuovo (at Purchase College, SUNY)

In true Rossini fashion, half the page is straightforward bass line, and the other half is impossible. #bassoonproblems #teatronuovo #opera #rossini #tancredi (at The Performing Arts Center @ Purchase College)

My view from the orchestra. Follow @teatronuovony today to catch the Instagram takeover by our fearless primo violino, Jakob! #teatronuovo #adventuresinHP #bassoon #opera #rossini #bassoonphotobomb (at The Performing Arts Center @ Purchase College)

What a breathtakingly beautiful production of @onceislandbway !! I loved every minute of it, start to finish. And what a joy it was to see fellow @uncsa alums in action. And in principal roles, no less!! @courtneee_carter as Ti Moune, and @isaaccolepowell as Daniel
