Noel and the opera
A capable actor, Noel performed in the Living Arts New York Opera Company's production of Porgy and Bess in 2006. He was the only white guy in the cast. That's Noel in the white suit and hat playing the detective.
2008
Noel rejoined the Opera Company for rehearsals in New York then undertook a tour of Russia, Poland, Latvia, Estonia and Greece.
In Moscow they played with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra. In Warsaw it was the 130 piece Polish National Opera Orchestra.
During this tour one of the black American cast members admired Noel's rich voice, saying "Man, I didn't know they had Joe Cocker playing the detective."
Falling in love...
This was also the tour where Noel met the beautiful and talented Elzbieta Tabernacka, flautist with the Polish Orchestra.
It's a classic story... Noel and Ela fell in love and were married in Poland in 2009. They now divide their time between Europe and New Zealand.
