Life imitates opera, unfortunately:
OGDEN -- Opera tenor David Nyman Gustafson has been arrested in an Internet sting in which he allegedly arranged a sexual rendezvous with an officer posing on the Internet as a 13-year-old girl...

U[tah]F[estival]O[pera] will replace Gustafson, who was to perform the role of the duke in Verdi's "Rigoletto" in this summer's festival season.

Now that's identifying with your character: he'd probably have made a terrific Duke of Mantua, the bastard. If life's going to imitate opera, can it please not be Verdi?
