I received the Health Hero Award yesterday from WebMD for my work raising money to fund Sarcoma Research. I was very honored that they chose me. My dear mother Kate died of Sarcoma and she started raising money for this under-researched cancer and I continue her efforts in her name for the Kate McGarrigle Fund at SU2C. I penned an acceptance speech that I would like to share. ❤️

Hi All, Rufus here. I have a special favor to ask of all of you! You know how much I love opera and how opera has really shaped me as a musician and is still influencing all of my pop music. It is time to NOMINATE my latest foray into that field "HADRIAN" for the Opera Awards. Please please please click on the below link before 5PM GMT January 7th. Click here » http://www.operaawards.org/nominate/ Scroll down to the World Premiere category and put in Hadrian, put your contacts at the end and hit submit. If you want you can also nominate the following for other sections: Company : Canadian Opera Company Conductor : Johannes Debus Designer : MIchael Gianfrancesco Director : Peter Hinton Female Singer : Karita Mattila Male Singer : Thomas Hampson Newcomer : Ambur Braid (our amazing Sabina) Opera Orchestra : Canadian Opera Company Orchestra If that is too much I totally understand! But PLEASE nominate HADRIAN at least in the WORLD PREMIERE category. It would make my day (and year) if Hadrian was on the shortlist for the Opera Awards. Love, Rufus

Always wonderful when I get a chance to perform in Montreal. Thank you to everyone who joined us for Noel Nights. [📸s via Benoit Rousseau]

Puccini’s “Vissi d’arte” symbolizes the struggle of being an artist for me. This episode of Aria Code also features my friend soprano Sondra Radvan discussing her personal relationship to the music. Listen at Apple Podcasts.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
