Happy Birthday, Juan Diego Florez!

What else can I say?  This guy's got enough hot to set a whole crowd of women on fire.  He is now forty-one.  
         
I first heard of him in 2007.  Then I saw him live in HD in 2008.  He was Tonio in La Fille du Regiment by Donizetti.  

Happy 41st Birthday, Juan Diego Florez

I Know This Is A Few Days Late, But...

Juan Diego Florez and his wife had another child, a little girl, on New Year's Day (how's that for starting off the new year?).  Her name is Lucia Stella (if I ever have a daughter, I'll give her that name). 
    I love it when I read about this.  The first time I heard about Florez becoming a father, I was at the simulcast of Le Comte Ory on April 9th, 2011.  It was two days before my twentieth birthday when they said over the broadcast that Mrs. Florez had given birth to their son, Leandro (how come no one uses that name in this country?). 

   Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Florez!
