Keith Miller was a fullback for the U. of Colorado. His collegiate playing highlight took place in '94 when his 7th ranked Colorado team beat the 4th ranked Michigan at Ann Arbor.
While enrolled at Colorado, he developed an interest in the Opera after attending a performance at The Phantom of The Opera with his girlfriend. He began taking voice lessons.
After college, he spent several years trying to make it in the NFL. He even played a season of Arena Football. All the time, he continued with his singing.
One day, he received calls from both the Broncos and the Opera. He chose Opera. He worked over the years to develop his singing.
He now sings for the Metropolitan Opera of New York City--which is comparable to the "NFL" of Opera. With the Met, he has had 12 roles and over 100 performances. Read his story of scrappy determination below:
