  • Voice Types in Opera
    Voice Types in Opera In many of Central City Opera’s educational programs, we spend some time explaining the different voice types – and therefore character types – in opera. Usually in opera, a voice type (soprano, mezzo soprano, tenor, baritone, or bass) has as much to do with the SOUND as with the CHARACTER that the singer portrays. Composers will assign different voice types to characters so that there is a wide variety of vocal colors onstage to give the audience more information about the characters in the story. SOPRANO: “Sopranos get to be the heroine or the princess or the opera star.” – Eureka Street* “Sopranos always get to play the smart, sophisticated, sweet and supreme characters!” – The Great Opera Mix-up* A soprano is a woman’s voice type. There are many different kinds of sopranos within the general category: coloratura, lyric, and spinto are a few. Coloratura soprano: Diana Damrau as The Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute (Mozart): https://youtu.be/dpVV9jShEzU Lyric soprano: Mirella Freni as Mimi in La bohème (Puccini): https://youtu.be/yTagFD_pkNo Spinto soprano: Leontyne Price as Aida in Aida (Verdi): https://youtu.be/IaV6sqFUTQ4?t=1m10s MEZZO SOPRANO: “There are also mezzos with a lower, more exciting woman’s voice…We get to be magical or mythical characters and sometimes… we get to be boys.” – Eureka Street “Mezzos play magnificent, magical, mysterious, and miffed characters.” – The Great Opera Mix-up A mezzo soprano is a woman’s voice type. Just like with sopranos, there are different kinds of mezzo sopranos: coloratura, lyric, and dramatic.

  • Laurel Semerdjian Mezzo-Soprano
    Laurel Semerdjian Mezzo-Soprano Laurel Semerdjian, an American mezzo-soprano of Armenian descent, has recently been hailed as "a dramatic and musical tour de force" (Pittsburgh Tribune) for her portrayal of Asakir in Pittsburgh Opera's production of Mohammed Fairouz's Sumeida's Song. Her voice has been praised for its "guttural low notes" (Pittsburgh Post Gazette) and "appealing weight, intensity and flexibility". During the 2017–2018 season, Ms. Semerdjian looks ahead to returning to both Sarasota Opera, as Flora in La traviata, and Syracuse Opera, as Suzuki in Madama Butterfly. She makes company debuts with St. Petersburg Opera (Florida) as Dritte Dame in Die Zauberflöte, with Pittsburgh's Resonance Works as Ježibaba in Rusalka, and with Washington Concert Opera debut as guest soloist in their Opera's Greatest Heroines gala concert. She will also perform both Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 and Haydn's Mass in Time of War with Washington DC's Cathedral Choral Society at the Washington National Cathedral. In the 2018–2019 season, Ms. Semerdjian looks forward to rejoining Pittsburgh Opera as Suzuki in Madama Butterfly, rejoining Tacoma Opera for her debut in the title role of The Rape of Lucretia, and performing with Syracuse's Symphoria as mezzo soloist in Haydn's Mass in Time of War and Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. Ms. Semerdjian made several significant role debuts throughout the 2016–2017 season. In her return to Bellevue City Opera she performed her first Dorabella in Così fan tutte, and in October 2016 she made her Syracuse Opera debut as Tisbe in La Cenerentola.

  • Avec Une Histoire Personnelle Très Unique Qui Commence À Fairbanks
    Biographie, Saison 2016 – 2017 [1.019 mots] Avec une histoire personnelle très unique qui commence à Fairbanks, en Alaska, et une carrière internationale qui couvre plus de deux décennies, la mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux charmes public et la critique avec son charisme, son engagement et sa technique vocale étonnante. Après avoir noté qu'elle «a une présence sur scène à la pelle», écrit Clive Paget dans Limelight Magazine de l'Australie en Avril 2016, que Vivica «a démontré la maîtrise complète avec son phrasé exemplaire et dextérité vocale sans effort. Ajoutez à cela une voix d'une grande richesse, facile au sommet, mais avec une capacité de plonger à volonté dans un registre plus basse robuste, et vous avez ce qui ne peut être décrit comme la real deal». Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a été le cadre de ses débuts professionnels en 1994, quand elle a interprété Isabella dans une production par Florentine Opera de L'italiana in Algeri de Gioachino Rossini, une rôle qu'elle ranimait avec grand succès en 2015 pour Opera Fairbanks. Ses débuts à la Metropolitan Opera de New York en 1997 était dans son rôle le plus joué, Rosina dans Il barbiere di Siviglia, et elle est revenue à la MET pour plus Rosinas en 2002. Dans la foulée de ces étapes, les rôles de Rossini ont pris Vivica aux théâtres d'opéra et salles de concert dans le monde entier. Son Angelina dans La Cenerentola a été entendue dans son pays natal dans des villes comme Charlotte (Caroline du Nord), West Palm Beach (Floride), et Washington, DC, et, à l'étranger, dans ses arènes prestigieux comme le Grand Théâtre de Genève, le Théâtre des Champs-Élysées et la Wiener Staatsoper et dans ses endroits comme Brême (Allemagne), Rieti (Italie), et Santiago (Chili).

    FOR RELEASE: July 17, 2014 Press Contact: Gabrielle Nomura, 206.676.5559, [email protected]. Seattle Opera Projects Budget Surplus for 2013/14 Season Kate Lindsey and Asher Fisch Named Seattle Opera Artists of the Year Maryanne Tagney Elected as Board President Seattle – Seattle Opera is projecting a surplus for the 2013/14 season, to be confirmed with published audited financials in December 2014. The surplus will be used to replenish its operating reserves for future seasons, which were significantly lowered during the recent recession. On an operating budget of nearly $28 million, the company saw significant growth in contributions and ticket sales that both exceeded expectations for the year. This announcement comes following the company’s Annual Meeting at McCaw Hall on Tuesday, July 15. Seattle Opera Board President, Dr. William T. Weyerhaeuser thanked his fellow board members and donors for their generosity and support during his tenure as president. Contributing to Seattle Opera’s surplus this season were a variety of factors, including successful fundraising and ticket sales operations thanks to generous donors and subscribers, a slightly increased overall attendance of 95,000, and the economic impact of Wagner’s Ring cycle in August, 2013. Opera lovers from all 50 states and 22 foreign countries flocked to Seattle for this unforgettable experience of story, music, spectacle, and community. Seattle Opera Annual Meeting Page 2 of 6 “Speight’s single-minded focus on the art of opera has been an inspiration to us all,” said Board Chairman John Nesholm. “When Seattle Opera staff was tasked with creating its list of core values, ‘art matters’ is what came to the forefront; this is because of Speight.
