FREE MASTER CLASS AND OPEN AUDITION TO SING WITH "WORLD'S LONGEST
RUNNING PHANTOM" IN PERFORMANCE AT STOCKER ARTS CENTER

Local singers have the opportunity to attend a free master class and if
they choose, can also audition for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to
sing on the Stocker Arts Center stage with Franc D'Ambrosio, who is best
known for his portrayal of the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The
Phantom of the Opera." 

D'Ambrosio will perform Franc D'Ambrosio's Broadway - Songs of the
'Great White Way' at 7:30 p.m., Friday, February 1, at Lorain County
Community College's Stocker Arts Center. 

During his performance, D'Ambrosio will perform with two local singers
who will be singing the roles of Christine and Raoul from "Phantom." The
singers will be selected through master class/auditions with D'Ambrosio.
The master class/auditions will be held from 2-4 p.m., Thursday, January
31 in the main theatre at LCCC's Stocker Arts Center and from 7-9 p.m.,
Thursday, January 31 at Kadel Vocal Performance Hall in the Boesel
Musical Arts Center at Baldwin Wallace University. 

The opportunity to attend the master class/audition at either LCCC or
Baldwin Wallace is free and open to students, faculty, staff and the
general public, though reservations are requested. 

Please call the Stocker Arts Center at (440) 366-4140 to make a
reservation to attend either of the master class/audition sessions.

Singers who would like to audition should come to the master class with
two songs prepared. One should be "All I Ask Of You" (one of the
"Phantom" duets) and one other song in a similar Broadway style, such as
"West Side Story," "The King & I," "Oklahoma," etc. An accompanist will
be provided. There is no cost for the master class or accompanist.
People are welcome to attend the master class even if they are not
interested in auditioning for the opportunity to sing during the
February 1 performance.

Franc D'Ambrosio performed the role of the Phantom more than 2,200
times. He has been affectionately referred to as Phantom's "Iron Man of
The Mask" and held the title as the World's Longest Running Phantom for
over a decade.

D'Ambrosio is a world-class teacher and studied with the late, legendary
Luciano Pavarotti. His resume also includes an Academy Award nominated
film, an Emmy Award nominated television show, a four-time Tony
nominated Broadway show, two Grammy considerations, and a National
Theatre Award nomination. Francis Ford Coppola cast him as Anthony
Corleone, the opera-singing son of Al Pacino and Diane Keaton in the
seven-time Academy Award nominated film "Godfather III."  D'Ambrosio
starred in the film and sang the Academy Award winning theme song,
"Speak Softly Love (Brucia la Terra)." Franc D'Ambrosio has toured
extensively throughout the US, Europe and South America with his
critically acclaimed one-man shows
