PELLEAS ET MELISANDE, 2005 as the Doctor, with Sophie von Otter as Melisande.
WAR AND PEACE, 2007 as a Valet
MEISTERSINGER,Act I, 2007 as Schwarz. Very helpful to have stage name tag.

Last image, book signing with Sam Ramey to celebrate his new autobiography, Nov. 13, 2010 lobby of New York State Theater. With Sam and Veronica Reed.
No time to scan images from Traviata, Queen of Spades, Susanna. Great Gatsby, Dr. Faust, Sly, Midsummer Night's Dream, Chenier, Salome, Tosca, Gioconda,
Leroy was a fun colleague to all. To friends, family and musical colleagues my heartfelt condolences.
Dear Leroy, thanks RIP
