    Of Castrati, Angels and Simians Ernesto Tomasini interviewed by Serena Guarracino I first saw Ernesto Tomasini on stage in 2003 in his show True or Falsetto? A Secret History of the Castrati. I was immediately taken by his imposing stage presence (heightened by the small venue of the Drill Hall, London) and by the famed four octaves extension of his voice. He treated the subject of opera with a mixture of lightness and commitment that was completely foreign to me as an Italian as well as a would-be scholar of the contested relationship between opera and gender politics. Six years later, I finally managed to ask him some of the questions that have riddled me over the years. SG: You define yourself – you actually have been defined – as “a voice in drag”. What does this mean to you? ET: Yes, Time Out said that, and I used to use it as a joke… But now it’s not accurate any more. A voice in drag would be the falsetto voice: that’s a voice that sounds female but is male; the vocal correspondent of a drag queen. But today I use all of my range, so it’s not really a voice in drag; if you want it’s like a quick-change artist of a voice, the Arturo Brachetti of voices! SG: Still, I do believe your performances embody what Judith Butler wrote about drag, as something that makes the performance of gender identity conspicuous in any case. For her, the drag queen works only as a 1 In Butler’s words, “I starting point for a complete rewriting of gender politics and performance.1 would suggest that drag Maybe in this sense the word ‘drag’ would apply to your work? Because I fully subverts the feel you play with different registers… distinction between inner and outer psychic space ET: Yes, not strictly as traditional drag… but yes.

Isserlis has waited 40 years to record this pinnacle of the of the month repertoire, and here with his regular collaborators, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Daniel Harding, this CDA67917 long gestation has proved to be overwhelmingly fruitful. Of the concerto, Isserlis writes that ‘the power of its emotional journey, expressed with Dvorvák’s characteristically folk-like simplicity and directness, offers an irresistible mix of the epic and the touchingly confessional’. George Frideric HANDEL (1685–1759) The King’s Consort, Robert King (conductor) Handel’s Ottone was one of the most popular operas of the composer’s career, with 34 known performances during his CDS44511/3 lifetime, beaten only by the 53 performances of Rinaldo. The premiere run in 1723 featured superstar Italian soloists £10.59 (3 CDs) including Senesino and Cuzzoni, and coincided with (and was perhaps the cause of) the height of London’s opera madness, with tickets changing hands for increasingly high prices on the black market. This recording of the 1723 version (Handel adapted the opera in later years for different singers) features James Bowman at the peak of his powers in the title role.
