  2. About John Cimino The winner of more than 20 national and international awards as an operatic and concert performer, John Cimino has performed to acclaim throughout Europe and the continental United States, including opposite the great Pavarotti in a gala production of LA BOHEME at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. Other credits include performances with the New York City Opera, the San Francisco Opera, the Wexford Festival in Ireland, and the International Verdi Festival in Italy. Also a great fan of the Broadway stage, Cimino’s favorite role is, of course, Don Quixote in The Man of La Mancha, a role he has performed countless times in concerts across the country and around the world. Trained initially as a scientist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Cimino went on to study music and voice at the Manhattan and Juilliard Schools of Music as well as in Italy under Pavarotti’s own teacher, Maestro Ettore Campogalliani. Today, Cimino divides his time between concert engagements and his role as president of Creative Leaps International which produces “Concerts of Ideas” for major corporations, think tanks, universities and institutes for professional development. He lives on the west shores of the Hudson in the town of Blooming Grove with his wife Rachel St-Vincent, a veterinarian oncologist. Cimino and Pavarotti in “La Boheme”
