Vinson Cole decided to be an opera singer when he was 9 years old. Beginning in 1988, with his spectacular debut as Gluck\\u2019s Orph\\xe9e (Seattle Opera\\u2019s first-ever Baroque opera and first-ever modern dress production) the tenor became something of a star-in-residence in the Emerald City. He sang a lead role almost every year in Seattle, excelling in a huge swath of repertoire. General Director Christina Scheppelmann interviewed Cole, who lives now where he grew up, in Kansas City, when \\u201cSeattle Opera Mornings on KING FM\\u201d re-broadcast his fateful, dazzling performance of ORPH\\xc9E.
