Midsummer Serenades
MATTHEW COOK IS A BARITONE based in Southern California but originally from Fairfax, Virginia. He has extensive experience singing in opera and musical theatre productions, as well as in choirs. In 2024, Matthew sang the role of Garibaldo in Handel's Rodelinda with Opera Neo and the role of Jacob in The Ballad of Baby Doe with Opera Buffs. In addition, he spent the winter in Florida as an Apprentice Artist with the Sarasota Opera. Later, he spent the summer in Mainz, Germany, where Matthew attended the Barock Vokal Akademie where he worked with James Taylor and Elisabeth Scholl, among other early music specialists. Matthew holds degrees from Pomona College and the University of Southern California. At the latter institution, under the tutelage of Thomas Michael Allen, Matthew presented his master's recital by performing J.S. Bach's Ich habe genug BWV 82 and Ralph Vaughan Williams's Songs of Travel. When not singing, Matthew enjoys long road trips (he has been to 46 states), playing pickleball, and hosting his podcast, Trivia Over Tea.
Songs this evening will include: "If Ever I Would Leave You" from Camelot "On the Street Where You Live" from My Fair Lady "Anthem" from Chess
And many more!

Glamour, gossip, and guffaws
It is 1942, and two of Hollywood's biggest divas, Claudia McFadden and Athena Sinclair, have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel. The stars bring with them two assistants, two sets of luggage, two overblown egos, and one legendary feud. Everything seems to be in order for their benefit performance for the troops—until they are mistakenly assigned to the same suite. Can two bumbling bellhops, two steadfast secretaries, and a stuffy hotel manager keep these fierce rivals apart? Or will this benefit performance end in a delicious disaster? Check into the Palm Beach Royale Hotel and check out mistaken identities, double entendres, a nosy gossip columnist, disappearing roses, dramatic door slamming, and a pampered, pocket-sized pooch named Mr. Boodles. Settle into your Suite and Surrender to this hilarious love note to the classic farces of the '30s and '40s.
