Teddy Tahu Rhodes' Tattoo Becomes a Popular Search

A tattooed Teddy Tahu Rhodes in Così fan tutte

We recently noticed that we were getting a lot of hits for a 2008 post about Teddy Tahu Rhodes showing off his tattoo to female reporter. When we explored why there was a sudden interest in his tattoo, we realized that he's been heavily tattooed for the current production of Mozart's "Così fan tutte" at the Washington National Opera.

The Jonathan Miller production runs through March 15th with a cast that also includes Elizabeth Futral, Renata Pokupic, Joel Prieto, William Shimell, and Christine Brandes. Visit the opera company's website to purchase tickets. The 6' 5" New Zealand barihunk received a nice mention from Tim Smith in the Baltimore Sun:

As Guglielmo, Teddy Tahu Rhodes towers over his colleagues physically and reveals a beefy sound to match his animated delivery.

Teddy Tahu Rhodes Sings The "Champagne Aria"

"Teddy Bare" burning up the stage in Sydney

We've had a number of emails asking for more pictures or video of Teddy Tahu Rhodes' performance of Don Giovanni. We're tired of running the same old leather outfit photo, but we now have this great video of him singing "Fin ch' han dal vino" from the current run.

Performances at the Sydney Opera House run until November 5th and then the show moves to the Arts Centre in Melbourne from December 2-December 17. Visit the Opera Australia website for additional information.

"Teddy Bare" Returns as Don Giovanni

Teddy Tahu Rhodes as Don Giovanni

New Zealand barihunk Teddy Tahu Rhodes has been singing the title role in Don Giovanni for  twelve years. He recently sat down for a video interview that was featured on the online version of the Sydney Morning Herald, which you can watch HERE. He discussed how his interpretation of the role has changed among other topics.

The print article is a good read as well. Our favorite paragraph is this:

His impressive physique hasn't gone unnoticed, either by directors, who delight in undressing Tahu Rhodes for the stage, or critics - The Dallas Morning News wrote of his performance in The End of the Affair: ''Connoisseurs of the male derriere will sit up and take notice when the curtain rises.''

Performances at the Sydney Opera House will run from September 24-November 5 and he will alternate the role with fellow barihunk Jose Carbo. Click HERE for additional cast and ticket information.

Teddy Tahu Rhodes Talks About "The Ship Song Project"

The Ship Song Project - Teddy Tahu Rhodes

We thought it made sense to follow up the oft-shirtless Daniel Okulitch with the oft-shirtless Teddy Tahu Rhodes. The New Zealand bass was recently part of "The Ship Song Project," which reinterpreted Nick Cave's iconic song. The project included a number of well-known artists from different musical worlds, including Neil Finn, Kev Carmody The Australian Ballet, Sarah Blasko, Martha Wainwright, Katie Noonan, the Sydney Symphony, Temper Trap, Daniel Johns, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, John Bell, Angus and Julia Stone, Paul Kelly and the Bangarra Dance Theatre.

Here is a video of Teddy Tahu Rhodes discussing the project followed by the video.
