Alek Shrader sings Ah Mes Amis!

Up and coming tenor Alek Schrader sings Ah Mes Amis! from Donizetti's La Fille du Regiment at the Metropolitan Opera's summer series recital at Central Park's SummerStage. on July 13, 2009. If you look closely at this high quality blackberry recording, he is the small dot moving about the stage.

Even with this poor quality recording you can tell he has progressed in his training since The Audition was filmed. Those high C's seem to be coming a little easier. :)

Can you imagine doing those high C's outside an opera house? Whoa! The demands of opera singing on one's vocal chords... he sounds really excellent!

This guy has a lovely voice and is very nice to look at! I hope we see him a lot more!

@iveyspam Easier than on The Audition? Is that even possible?

[grandmagrumpy]

I think there are some other summer series videos with him singing this that have better sound quality. But something is better than noting.

Thank you for posting.

This "recording" couldn't be worse. Mr Schrader is fabulous but doesn't deserve some awful pirated junk made with a cellphone. YouTube ought to delete it.

Catch him in his finalist aria at the Met just broadcast on PBS in "The Audition"

i bet this is gonna sound a MILLION times better if it was either a concert hall or an opera house.

Painful to listen to and watch- and he is such a handsome guy! I hope he has great success and great recordings.
