David Sabella presents Illegit: The Cabaret Countertenor Conundrum at Urban Stages’ Winter Rhythms on December 12 at 7 PM. Sabella will be joined by special guest Dawn Derow. Music director and pianist John M. Cook leads Matt Scharfglass on bass and Steve Singer on drums. Show direction is by Lina Koutrakos.
In Illegit, Sabella asks, “What is a Countertenor, and what does he sing? Opera? Broadway? American Songbook? Pop?” When the countertenor is Sabella, the answer is “all of the above.”
David Sabella has sung on stages big and small throughout the United States, Europe and South America. A Broadway veteran (Chicago, the Musical) and classical countertenor deemed “Excellent, not good, excellent!” by Luciano Pavarotti, Sabella has crafted a show encompassing four styles of music, in four octaves. In addition to performing, Sabella is a private vocal coach. He is also the Editor in Chief of www.CabaretHotspot.com, a contributing writer for www.bistroawards.com, and the author (along with Sue Matsuki) of So You Want to Sing Cabaret (Rowman & Littlefield, 2020)
