GENESIS OPERA THEATRE

Bass-baritone Patrick Anderson has appeared regularly with Genesis Opera Theatre. Back in a previous century, Patrick sang for many seasons with Opera a la Carte, Los Angeles' premier G&S repertory company. More recently he has performed with Pacific Lyric Association Opera, where he has sung Monterone in Rigoletto, Grenvil in La Traviata, Gregorio in Romeo & Juliette, and Zuniga in Carmen. Patrick lives in Fallbrook, where he spends his free time working in his enormous garden and spoiling his dogs.

Chelsea Seener Gornall blends high Cs with spreadsheets as both a powerhouse vocalist and seasoned bookkeeper. A versatile singer whose performances span opera, musical theatre, and rock, she has sung across the U.S. and internationally in six countries. Raised in San Diego, she takes great pride in nurturing a modern opera scene in the city that launched her artistic journey. Her leadership in the arts began early—as a cultural ambassador in high school, a founding member of her college's Student NATS chapter, and one of the first educational outreach performers with San Diego Opera.

Outside the spotlight, Chelsea brings over a decade of bookkeeping and office management experience to her role as Treasurer with Genesis Opera Theatre. She’s passionate about helping the company thrive both onstage and off. Chelsea is proud to support a nonprofit committed to meaningful, accessible artistry—and to doing the real work it takes to keep that vision moving forward.

Devon Glenn has been with Genesis since its genesis. Her roles include Gianni Schicchi (La Ciesca cover), The Magic Flute (Papagena), Magdalene: The Musical (Zenobia), The Impresario (Ms. Angel), Goyescas, Suor Angelica (Una Novizia), Amahl and the Night Visitors (Page), and Pagliacci. She also sang in Aleko (Romani Medicine Woman), La Traviata, Carmen, Die Fledermaus (Ida), Roméo et Juliette, and Tosca with PLA; and The Mighty Casey with LOOC.

When she’s not singing, she lends her skills as a writer and editor. She is currently a professional copy editor for big publishing houses, and she writes books—her latest, Family Face-Off: The Ultimate Book of Family Competitions (Chronicle Books), is now in stores.
