Franc had the opportunity to study at the famed Vocal Academy of Lucca in Italy. He made his Broadway debut in the first revival of Sweeney Todd. After an international talent search lasting over a year, Franc was selected to play the role of Anthony Corleone, the opera-singing son of Al Pacino in Francis Ford Coppola’s Godfather III, and the honor of singing the Academy Award winning theme song for the film.

Saturday/Sunday, December 19, 20, 2009 at 2 pm THE NUTCRACKER Diane Lauridsen, director
 This splendid production, a magical treat for all, is a time-honored holiday story that comes to life to the brilliant score of Peter Tchaikovsky with uplifting surprises and exciting new twists. Unique to South Bay Ballet's Nutcracker is the presentation of Clara as a young girl who dreams of becoming a ballerina. In her dream Clara grows up and dances with her Nutcracker Prince in a performance at the Kingdom of the Sweets. It's this new conception - ballet about ballet and the passion to dance - that sets South Bay Ballet's Nutcracker apart from others.
 Marsee Auditorium $28 (Children 12 and under - $18)
