Talking With Troy Cook, Germont in FGO's 'La Traviata'

By Michelle F. Solomon, Editor/Music Writer @celebchat23 @michellefsolomon

Troy Cook is singing Giorgio Germont, the role of the stern father to Alfredo, in Florida Grand Opera's "La Traviata" at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. The character, Germont, feels he must split up his son's love affair with Violetta, a courtesan, famous in Parisian society.

miamiartzine.com talked to the baritone about his history with Florida Grand Opera, about the role he is playing and what he sees as the future of opera.

miamiartzine.com: You were a Florida Grand Opera Studio Artist and audiences may recognize you from when you were here in 2017 as Enrico in FGO's production of "Lucia di Lammermoor."
Troy Cook: I spent a lot of time in South Florida because of Florida Grand Opera. I was here in the 1998-99 season as a studio artist. FGO gave me my earliest start and some of my earliest training. So, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing and what I have done now for the last oh, 25 years, or something like that if it wasn't for them.

maz: What's it like to come back?
TC: When you come back to a place where you were an apprentice artist, it always feels like you're coming home. It's like, your company. And there are still people here, friendly faces, that were working for the company then.

maz: What's your favorite part of the process of preparing for a role like Germont with Florida Grand Opera?
