If Alfie Boe had gotten a job with the Salt Lake City Police Department, he probably wouldn’t be the guest performer at this year’s Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert. About a decade ago, during a particularly lean period for the British tenor, he inquired about becoming a personal trainer within the police department. "Then I started getting more work," he said. "The music picked up."
Boe, who is married to a Salt Lake City native and has a home in Utah, has come a long way from winning the 1994 West London Karaoke Championship.
