Connor McLaughlin (Schaunard) is a local performer who you may recall appearing as Schaumbacher in These Hills and Valleys (Berks Opera), Dametas in Head Over Heels (Yocum), Jan in Small Mouth Sounds (Laconia), and the various musically inclined animal roles where Berks Opera Company and Yocum Institute combined efforts to bring the sounds of the opera to the Children of Berks County! He hopes he can embody the music of Giacomo Puccini and give you a spectacular show. Buon spettacolo a tutti!
