LYRIC OPERA DE CHICAGO - MANON

KWQC-TV 6 Davenport Sun, 28 Sep 2008 9:58 AM PDT


CHICAGO (AP) - The 2008-2009 season of the Lyric Opera of Chicago has opened with Jules Massenet's (MAH' suh nayz) 1884 "Manon" (MAH' nohn). The much-in-demand French soprano Natalie Dessay (deh-SAY') performed in the opening night show yesterday as the title character.

Lyric Opera of Chicago opens season with 'Manon'


AP via Yahoo! News Sun, 28 Sep 2008 1:37 PM PDT


How so much voice — and so much emotional force — can pour out of a person as tiny as Natalie Dessay should be one of the great mysteries of the opera world.

'Manon' opens season in style


Chicago Sun-Times Sun, 28 Sep 2008 7:19 PM PDT


When Renata Scotto took the title role in Lyric Opera of Chicago's last production of Jules Massenet's 1884/1891 Parisian melodrama "Manon" 25 years ago -- as another Italian, Mirella Freni, had done in Lyric's first performances 10 years before -- a friend remarked, "It says 'Manon,' but it sure smells like 'Tosca.'

KATE ALDRICH






Magnífica mezzo! Acabei de vê-la numa produção de Don Quixote, de Massenet, para a o Novo Teatro de Ópera de Tokio (20070. Foi uma das mais lindas que vi nos últimos anos. Obra do italiano Piero Faggioni, responsável pelo cenário, iluminação e direção.

Don Quixote é vivido pelo excelente baixo Roberto Scandiuzzi

O dvd foi lançado até agora somente no Japão.
Essa ópera de Massenet merece retornar ao repertório dos teatros. Se não tem a mesma abundância melódica de suas outras companheiras, apresenta momentos muitos bons. O primeiro e 3º atos são os melhores. Os dois intermediários padecem da aridez outorgada por uma música onde a presença vocal masculina é praticamente exclusiva.

Crítica Lauro Machado Coelho

O que é melhor para iniciar um concerto do que a 1812? Digam o que disserem os seus detratores, para os quais ela é o supra-sumo do kitsch, é tão grande o fervor patriótico de Tchaikóvski, nessa peça em que o Hino do Tsar põe a Marselhesa literalmente para correr, que o seu efeito é contagiante. Sobretudo quando ela é executada com todo o entusiasmo, como foi terça-feira, pela Sinfônica da Universidade de São Paulo, em seu concerto sob a regência do maestro búlgaro Emil Tabakov. Só faltaram canhões de verdade!

MORRE ELVIRA BALDERI


D. Elvira, a mestra, partiu

La grande cantante Elvira Balderi Crimi partiu .

18 de abril de 1911 a 11 de setembro de 2008

Ao entrar no palco, ela ouvia dos coristas - os mais difíceis de se conquistar -, em tom reverencial: “Oh, signorina!”, enquanto o aplauso dos músicos, o tac-tac-tac dos arcos em cima das estantes, ressoava na sala. Isso era a consagração, o grande sucesso. E ela os teve durante os 12 anos em que fez carreira como cantora.

Predestinada pelos deuses da música, poucos dias após seu nascimento, em Nápoles, no dia 18 de abril de 1911, seu querido avô paterno, Tito Balderi, fizera uma simpatia que selaria o pacto com eles, enterrara o cordão umbilical que caíra do umbigo da criança. Estava selado seu destino: “ La pupa seria una grande cantante”.

Inicialmente estudou piano no Liceu Musical durante dez anos, tirando o diploma no Conservatório San Pietro a Majella, em sua cidade natal. Aos 19 anos, já em Viterbo, cidade próxima de Roma para onde a família se mudara, prestou concurso no Conservatório de Santa Cecilia, em Roma, passou e lá estudou durante seis anos. Foi aluna de canto das professoras Fausta Lábia e Giuseppina Baldassare Tedeschi, e de artes cênicas do maestro Marcelo Govoni, que pressentiu que tinha um diamante bruto nas mãos e o burilou, conseguindo fazê-la superar sua timidez e brotar uma interpretação notável, tanto assim que, quando ela estava tendo aula, os alunos das demais classes de canto, de piano, de violino etc., iam vê-la. Uma grande estrela estava em gestação.

Estreou no palco aos 27 anos, em Catanzaro, na Calábria, fazendo o papel de Bia, em Íris. Mas suas lembranças de início de carreira recaem sobre um fato que atesta seu caráter alegre, irreverente e intrépido, além da inquestionável consciência que sempre teve da perfeição do seu canto. Deu-se na cidade de Pordenone, em Veneto, quando interpretava a Musetta de La Bohème: ao ser perguntada pelo grande maestro Arturo Lucon (que regia uma companhia lírica que estava apresentando I Pagliacci e que não gostara da cantora convidada para fazer parte do grupo) se sabia I Pagliacci, Elvira não teve dúvida, respondeu que sim, “mesmo sabendo que sabia somente o primeiro ato, mas não queria perder a chance” No final do espetáculo tomou uma solene bronca dele e recebeu o convite para cantar em Vicenza, para onde a companhia iria em turnê. Os grandes reconhecem seus pares...

Cantou 12 óperas: Madame Butterfly; Bohème; I Pagliacci; Turandot; Carmen; Un Ballo in Maschera; Guglielmo Tell; O Segredo de Suzana; Serva Padrona; La Traviata; Íris e Ave Maria. Apresentou-se nos melhores palcos da Itália, França, Espanha, Alemanha e Brasil. Cantou com os principais nomes da cena lírica mundial.
Foi uma exigente professora de canto, com muito orgulho!

Com mais de 92 anos, escreveu e publicou o Livro "Uma história de Arte e Amor". Recebeu convites para publicá-lo em Italiano.
Estava preparando com os seus alunos uma montagem em concerto de " La bohème" de G.Puccini

LA CALISTO

La Calisto, Royal Opera House, London
Flights of fancy on a Roman theme
Reviewed by Michael ChurchThursday, 11 September 2008

When David Freeman electrified the British opera scene with his production of La Calisto nearly 30 years ago, Francesco Cavalli's 1651 sex-romp was put firmly on the map as a camp challenge. Freeman's singers did it on roller skates, and the image of the youthful Bonaventura Bottone whizzing seductively around lodged in the memory. The challenge has now been picked up by director David Alden and conductor Ivor Bolton, with a show that was such a hit in Munich, it's coming to Covent Garden.

DMITRI HVOROSTOVSKY

San Jose Mercury News Mon, 08 Sep 2008 4:00 PM PDTSan Francisco Opera has opened its season with "Simon Boccanegra," whose impossibly layered plot spans 30 years of mistaken identities, mayhem, kidnappings, betrayals and poisonings. On top of that, none of the arias count among the composer's greatest hits. So why bother? Because the overall score can cast a spell to rival any of Verdi's greatest works, and the staging, unveiled here in 2001

Music Review ‘The Fly’
The Song of the Brundlefly
By ANTHONY TOMMASINI

Daniel Okulitch plays Seth Brundle, the man who becomes a fly, in Howard Shore’s new opera based on David Cronenberg’s 1986 film, at Los Angeles Opera.
Despite the inventive staging and all-out efforts of an admirable cast, the Los Angeles Opera’s production of “The Fly,” based on the 1986 film, is a ponderous and enervating opera.
