Albert Garcia moved to Houston to sing with the Houston Grand Opera. However, before he began performing, his vocal cords were accidentally paralyzed. KPRC2Haley has more on this. kprc2 click2hou wickedopera wicked entertainment houstongrandopera
During a spine surgery last year, Garcia’s vocal cords were accidentally paralyzed.
“Which is, of course, a possibility because they’re so close working in there. Luckily, it was just stretched, and it wasn’t severed completely, so that’s good. So that caused the right side of my vocal cord to be paralyzed so it doesn’t close correctly. So, what I had been doing is talking at a higher pitch because it’s easier to do that, but terribly wrong,” Garcia explained.
That’s when Dr. Marina-Elvira Papangelou at TIRR Memorial Hermann came to his rescue. She helped rehabilitate his voice.As the song says, “And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend.” Those words were equally true for Garcia and Papangelou, who met during a difficult time for the singer, but Dr. Papangelou helped him change course.
