David made his Carnegie Hall debut as Monterone in RIGOLETTO under the baton of Maestro Stephen Crawford. One critic hailed, “The real stand-out of the evening was David Kelleher-Flight. Making his Carnegie Hall debut, he showed the most polish and vocal refinement of the evening. His rich baritone voice set him apart from the others”(Greenwich Post).
