It’s official.  Tony Dean Griffey will sing the title role in tomorrow night’s opening performance of Peter Grimes at the COC, replacing an indisposed Ben Heppner.  The party line is that Ben will sing the remaining performances.  We will see.  Certainly Tony is scheduled to start a run of Fledermaus in Houston on the 25th and the last Grimes is on the 26th.  This story isn’t over.  Whatever else goes down, let’s hope Ben makes a speedy recovery from whatever ails him.
