Durant gairebé 170 anys d’història, l’Orquestra del Gran Teatre del Liceu ha estat dirigida per les més grans batutes, d’Arturo Toscanini a Erich Kleiber, d’Otto Klemperer a Hans Knapperstsbusch, de Bruno Walter a Fritz Reiner, Richard Strauss, Alexander Glazunov, Ottorino Respighi, Pietro Mascagni, Igor Stravinsky, Manuel de Falla o Eduard Toldrà, fins a arribar als nostres dies amb Riccardo Muti o Kirill Petrenko. Ha estat la protagonista de les estrenes del gran repertori operístic a la península ibèrica del barroc als nostres dies i al llarg de la seva història ha dedicat també una especial atenció a la creació lírica catalana. Va fer el seu debut el 1847 amb un concert simfònic dirigit per Marià Obiols, essent la primera òpera Anna Bolena, de Donizetti. Des de llavors ha actuat de forma continuada durant totes les temporades del Teatre. Internacionalment cal destacar el Concert per la Pau i els Drets Humans, organitzat per la Fun- dació Onuart, retransmès des de la seu de les Nacions Unides a Ginebra el passat 9 de desembre del 2017. Després de la reconstrucció de 1999 han estat directors titulars Bertrand de Billy (1999-2004), Se- bastian Weigle (2004–2008), Michael Boder (2008–2012) i, des de setembre del 2012, Josep Pons. 14 Giuseppe Verdi Intèrprets Violí I Violoncel Trompeta Kostadin Bogdanoski Mathias Weinmann Francesc Colomina Eva Pyrek Andrea Amador Raúl Calvo Charles Courant Esther Clara Braun Birgit Euler Carme Comeche Trombó Sergey Maiboroda Juan Manuel Stacey Jordi Berbegal Oleg Shport Lidija Cvitkovac Miquel Sáez Oksana Solovieva Iker Vélez Raúl Suárez Contrabaix Yana Tsanova Savio De La Corte Cimbasso Marta Wasilewicz Joaquín Arrabal José Miguel Bernabeu Paula Banciu Cristian Sandu Tatevik Khachatryan Cristian Lozano Timpani Maria Roca Nenad Jovic Manuel Martínez Violí II Flauta Percussió Émilie Langlais Aleksandra Miletic Sabela Castro Christo Kasmetski Joan J.

  • Gordon Hawkins Is Critically Acclaimed Throughout the World for His In-Depth Interpretations and Lush Baritone Voice
    C Gordon Hawkins is critically acclaimed throughout the world for his in-depth interpretations and lush baritone voice. A dramatic baritone with an international reputation as a “Rigoletto specialist,” Mr. Hawkins has delighted audiences as the tragic Verdi underdog in more than 200 performances, most recently with the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Vancouver Opera, Washington National Opera, Arizona Opera, and Opera Colorado. He is now earning critical acclaim as a Wagner specialist: “Alberich was superbly realized by baritone Gordon Hawkins, in his [Los Angeles Opera] début. Despite wearing a grotesque puppet head and clunky boots that hobbled his movements, Hawkins delivered a sterling vocal characterization of the power-mad Nibelung.” (Opera News). He has been engaged as Alberich in Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen at esteemed international companies including: San Francisco Opera, Los Angeles Opera, Seattle Opera, Washington National Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Teatro de la Maestranza de Sevilla, and the BBC Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall in London. This season, Mr. Hawkins performs the role of the Reverend in the World Première of Jeanine Tesori and Tazewell Thompson’s Blue at the Glimmerglass Festival, The Warden in Dead Man Walking with Lyric Opera of Chicago, and the title role of Porgy and Bess with Harrisburg Symphony. Last season, Mr. Hawkins performed the role of Amonasro in Aïda with Washington National Opera and Seattle Opera; Scarpia in Tosca with Arizona Opera; and in concert sang the baritone solo in Mahler’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen and Daniel Bernard Roumain’s Harvest with ASU Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Hawkins’ career is shaped by performances of opera’s most popular baritone roles at leading companies throughout the world.
