In his fifth season with TOR this year, Frank de Jong will interpret Raimondo in Lucia and the Commendatore in Don Giovanni. Frank is grumpy that, as a bass, he never gets to fall in love on stage or die in the arms of a beautiful soprano. Operatic basses, usually cast as patriarchs, priests, fathers, doctors, kings, are invariably more interested in power than in love. Sigh. Frank is a Toronto District School Board teacher and the leader of the Green Party of Ontario.
Frank de Jong sings the Commendatore February 11, 20 and 25.

Return to the Don Giovanni cast list.
