Welcome!

I’m Chris, an actor, singer, conductor, and multi-instrumentalist based in New York and Los Angeles. 

Selected theatrical credits include Les Miserables (The MUNY), Ragtime (Boston POPS), Tootsie (Moonlight Amphitheater), Into the Woods (Pacific Opera Project), Lost in the Stars (LA Chamber Orchestra), The Little Mermaid (Musical Theatre West), Shrek (3D Theatricals), The Music Man starring Adam Pascal (5 star Theatricals), and Sweeney Todd in Budapest, Hungary. 

Selected opera credits include Ferrando in Cosí fan tutte (Salastina), Orpheus in Orpheus (L.A. Opera Connects), Dr. Baglioni in La hija de Rappacini (BU Opera Institute), Arturo in Lucia di Lammermoor (Opera Buffs), The Magician in The Consul (Angel Vocal Arts), Tamino in The Magic Flute (UCSB), and Zuniga/Don Jose cover in La tragedie de Carmen (Seaglass Theater Company).

I’ve also been on faculty at the LA County High School for the Arts for 6 years, where I have music directed a variety of shows, including Into the Woods, Mansfield Park, Beauty and the Beast, Sweeney Todd, and Amahl and the Night Visitors. I vocal directed Sister Act, Urinetown, and Footloose, among others, and conducted the Opera Company at the 61st annual Holiday Celebration at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. 

I was an assistant conductor with the Verdi Chorus in Santa Monica, music director for the immersive show Fangs! with Downtown Repertory Theater in Los Angeles, music director for 35mm and vocal director for Dogfight, both with Act III Theatre Ensemble at UCLA.

Additionally, I have over 10 years of professional choral experience, which has led me to perform in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, The Disney Concert Hall, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, and Tanglewood, as well as in various venues across Europe. 

Fun Facts: When I was 22 I bicycled across the United States, from Washington State to Maine. It took me 2 and a half months. 

I am passionate about fitness, paddleboarding, nature, puppies, and long walks on the beach, in no particular order.
