Above: Dana Talley and his wife Sue
Tenor Dana Talley sings Schubert's Ave Maria. Listen here.
I was listening to a recording of a 1979 Metropolitan Opera broadcast of Wager's PARSIFAL yesterday and was struck by the lyrical voice of the tenor Dana Talley in the role of the First Knight. I went in search of his singing on YouTube and found his lovely Schubert.
Dana was a Met Auditions winner in 1978, and sang more that 200 performances with the Met at Lincoln Center and on tour, performing with the Company thru 1982.
