  • Cavalleria Rusticana & Pagliacci
    MEDIA RELEASE Mascagni | Leoncavallo | Directed by Damiano Michieletto | Conducted by Andrea Licata Cavalleria Rusticana & Pagliacci 10 – 20 May | State Theatre, Arts Centre Melbourne Starring | Diego Torre | Dragana Radakovic | José Carbó | Anna Princeva Opera Australia is giving audiences a rare opportunity to experience a classic operatic double- bill when they present celebrated director Damiano Michieletto’s new Olivier Award-winning production of Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci at the Arts Centre Melbourne this autumn. This co-production with the Royal Opera House is a classic of the ‘verismo movement’ and presents a slice of life from the small villages of Southern Italy, laying bare the raw heart of each story – ordinary people, driven by betrayal, passion, jealousy and revenge, emotions stretched to the limits. Although a different composer wrote each opera, it has been a long-standing tradition that they are performed together. In this production, Michieletto implies that both happen in the same town on the same night and are inextricably linked. Opera Australia Artistic Director Lyndon Terracini has wanted to do Cavalleria Rusticana / Pagliacci for some time. “I think audiences are going to love this new production. These two operas are tremendously powerful and the cast is simply brilliant. “In particular, it is a treat to see Diego Torre perform the two challenging roles on the one night and we’re thrilled that Dragana Radakovic has returned to Australia after her fantastic performance in Handa Opera on the Harbour - Turandot. She’s the perfect choice for the intensity of Santuzza. I saw Russian singer Anna Princeva perform Così fan tutte in Switzerland and knew she’d be fabulous as Nedda in Pagliacci,” he said.

  • Das Opernglas – November, 2013, Issue Summary
    http://operalively.com/forums/content.php/902-Das-Opernglas-%96-November-2013-Issue-Summary Das Opernglas – November, 2013, Issue Summary by MAuer Published on November 11th, 2013 07:01 PM http://www.opernglas.de/ Interviews Jonas Kaufmann: The Interview In this year of the Wagner and Verdi bicentennials, during which he had new recital albums devoted to each composer released on the market, the superstar tenor talks about the challenges of singing their music – and the uproar over the high C in Manrico’s stretta that surrounded his role debut in Munich this past summer. Kaufmann loves the operas of both Wagner and Verdi, and says he’d never want to have to choose between them. Both musical styles have their advantages, he explains. Verdi’s music is probably more immediately accessible than Wagner’s, which makes the former’s operas better suited as introductory pieces for someone just becoming acquainted with the art form. While Wagner’s operas do have some appealing melodies – he mentions the Ride of the Valkyries – he believes they also require more time for listeners to become accustomed to. However, once that occurs, Wagner’s music can become almost addictive; one is always discovering new layers in it. In contrast, Verdi’s music is not so complex, especially when one views the accompaniment, he says. The melody was more important to Verdi than the density of orchestral sound. However, Kaufmann doesn’t believe this makes Verdi’s music in any way inferior, or that it means his music lacks a certain intellectual appeal. He points out that Verdi enthusiasts are of all ages and economic levels.
