Daniel Okulitch, originally from Calgary, Alberta, is a professional opera singer of more than 25 years. He has performed for the New York City Opera, Los Angeles Opera, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires and many other venues. Last month he completed a run of shows at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow as the title character in Mozart’s “Don Giovanni.” His partner, Lara, also a singer, introduced him to crosswords last year as part of their morning routine and he started constructing soon after.
