Eine Nacht in Venedig, (A Night in Venice) by Strauss premiered on October 23, 2004. Damkier plays roll of Pappacoda, a Spaghetti cook. It is a tremendous comic roll and Damkier usually receives most applause even through it is a smaller singing role. This is remaining performance. Just 75 miles (120 kilometers) out of Munich is historic German town of Regensburg. Just off Danube River, nestled in heart of a charming old town square is an intimate 380 year-old opera house seating 524 dedicated patrons and international guests; it is home to leading tenor. Damkier, who has performed throughout Europe, thrills audiences, with his sweet interpretation and punctuated tenor dexterity. From character parts, to male ingénue, to leading man, Damkier is bridging his operating roots to a U.S. tour in 2006 which will cross-over to a cabaret format broadening his audience and fan club. One of recital performances in early 2006 will be recorded and distributed for wide release.
