It’s been a long search to find the cast for the Bridge Records recording of The Thirteenth Child, but we’ve finally selected our principals:

Princess Lyra: Sarah Shafer, soprano

Queen Gertrude:  Tamara Mumford, mezzo-soprano

King Hjarne: Matt Boehler, bass

Drokan: Ashraf Sewailam, bass-baritone

Prince Frederic: Alasdair Kent, tenor

Benjamin: David Portillo, tenor

Corbin: Alex Rosen, bass

We have tenor Alasdair Kent and mezzo Tamara Mumford in the studio during the coming few months, and then it’s on to recording the chorus. Our release date is scheduled for shortly before the premiere by the Santa Fe Opera (July 27, 2019).
