Ethan Freeman is on stage every night to perform one of the most difficult roles in his business: he has to constantly move between two women, and between good and evil. Dr. Henry Jekyll, a highly respected London scientist of the 19th century, thinks that he could separate good and evil with the help of a mysterious medicine. With his experiments he transforms from the modest doctor into the ridiculous creature Edward Hyde. Suddenly his experiments get out of control.
The male leading part is one of the most difficult roles that the tenor Ethan Freeman ever sung. He has to express violence and tenderness, madness and normality. For him it's a tight-rope walk each day. Also he has to use his acting talent to the extreme. Freeman doesn't even have 5 minutes to get some rest during the show and he confesses honestly: "After doing the role in its full length for the first time I was pretty exhausted, physically and vocally." And Ethan Freeman doesn't just work in the evening. Already early in the morning the phone is often ringing. Singing and Dress rehearsals, press appointments and TV appearances are on his schedule, which doesn't gives him much free time for personal things. Just enough for some work out and relaxing stuff. In the afternoon there are directorial notes. After that he gets his make up and than he takes his last training before the show starts. Ethan's day ends just after midnight.
His plans for the future? "I'd like to sing an opera by Verdi or Puccini again", says the young, pleasant man with the big dark eyes. "But at this time, the role of Henry Jekyll & Edward Hyde is my big love, but for sure it's not the last one, because after each big love there comes a new one!" he says smiling.
