Who is Christopher Macchio? Meet the opera tenor singing the national anthem at the inauguration
WASHINGTON (AP) — Opera tenor Christopher Macchio will sing the national anthem at the President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration before a much smaller crowd than he was expecting, a letdown with a silver lining.
The ceremony Monday has been moved indoors because temperatures are set to plummet and make it the coldest Inauguration Day in 40 years.
The Capitol Rotunda holds only people, while more than , guests were ticketed to view the inauguration from around the Capitol grounds.
“I was looking forward to seeing , people spread across the National Mall,” Macchio, 46, said Saturday in an Associated Press interview.
“Unfortunately I won’t be getting that visual while I perform, but it’s still going to be such a tremendous honor.”
In fact, he said, “from a musical and vocal perspective, it’s actually a good thing” and that the performance will remain largely the same.
