Mickael Spadaccini Tenor Mickael Spadaccini Tenor The Italian-Belgian tenor Mickael Spadaccini has begun his career when he was just 19 years-old winning the Nikolai Giaurov Prize by Mirella Freni. After that a huge number of international awards have followed. Firstly, he studied at the Conservatoire Royal de Liège with Maestro Nicolas Christou, than at the Università del Belcanto in Bologna under the guidance of the famous Italian soprano Mirella Freni and finally at the Accademia Verdiana with Carlo Bergonzi. Spadaccini had the opportunity to work on vocal technique and interpretation with such amazing artists as Nicola Martinucci, Peter Dvorsky, Angelo Loforese, Nadine Denise, Mirella Freni, Giorgio Merighi, Gianfranco Cecchele and Silvano Carroli. On 2008 he made his debut on the international scene performing the role of Ismaele ("Nabucco") with Dimitra Theodossiou at the Teatro Municipale of Reggio Emilia under the baton of Michele Mariotti. Since 2008, Spadaccini has already appeared in more than thirty operas as tenor. Among these the most relevant are: Werther (Werther), Aida (Radames), Macbeth (Mc Duff), La Traviata (Alfredo), Manon Lescaut (Des Grieux), Cavalleria Rusticana (Turiddu), Pagliacci (Canio), Rigoletto (Duca), Carmen (Don José), Caterina (Cornaro), La Damnation de Faust (Faust), Romeo et Juliette by Gounod (Romeo), Giulietta e Romeo by Zandonai (Romeo), Aladino e la lampada magica (Aladino), Les Contes d’Hoffman (Hoffman), Manon by Massenet (Des Grieux), Madama Butterfly (Pinkerton), La Boheme (Rodolfo), Tosca (Cavaradossi), La Rondine (Ruggiero), Edgar (Edgar), Attila (Foresto), Jenufa by Janacek (Steva) and many others. His success has brought him to gain several engagements which have led him singing all over the world into the most famous opera houses of Reggio Emilia, Cagliari, Como, Livorno, Brescia, Pavia, Cremona, Lucca, Pisa, Trieste, Jesi, Ferrara, Modena, Torino, Roma, Milano, Napoli, Tallin, Riga, Vilnius, Paris, Nancy, Besançon, Liège, Gent, Bruxelles, Mumbai, Brno, Prague, Bremen, Dresden, Braunschweig, Munchen, Saarbrücken, Osnabruck, Buenos Aires, Amsterdam, Skopje, Bucharest, Graz etc. He worked with amazing conductors such as Michele Mariotti, Matteo Beltrami, Antonello Allemandi, Riccardo Frizza, Roberto Zarpellon, Will Humburg, Lopez Cobos, Stefano Ranzani and Christian Thielemann. His most recent engagements has been "Les Contes d'Hoffmann" which has been staged in all the Italian opera houses belonging to the Circuito Lirico Lombardo, "Tosca" and "La traviata" in Brno. On April 2015 Spadaccini made his debut at the Easter Festival Salzburg with “Cavalleria rusticana/Pagliacci” under the baton of Christian Thielemann as cover (in both roles of Turridu and Canio) of the great tenor Jonas Kauffmann. During the season 2015/2016 he successfully performed at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires in the role of Werther. In the same year, he sung in Italy at the Teatro dell’Opera in Rome and at the Teatro Verdi in Trieste.

  • In Association With
    OVERTURE OPERA GUIDES in association with We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with Overture Publishing on this new series of opera guides and to build on the work English National Opera did over twenty years ago on the Calder Opera Guide Series. Masterminded by the late Nicholas John, ENO’s Literary Manager and Dramaturg for almost twenty years until his tragic early death in 1996, the original series of Opera Guides stands as a testimony to Nicholas’s remarkable energy, skills and passionate enthusiasm for the art form. As well as reworking and updating the existing titles, Overture and ENO have commissioned new titles for the series, and all of the guides will be published to coincide with repertoire being staged by the company at the London Coliseum. The first of the Overture Guides in association with ENO is published to mark a major event: a new production of Tosca in May 2010, directed by the leading American soprano Catherine Malfitano, who, in the 1980s and 1990s, made the role of Tosca her own. The production is conducted by our award-winning Music Director Edward Gardner, and the cast is led by soprano Amanda Echalaz (Tosca), Julian Gavin (Cavaradossi) and Anthony Michaels-Moore (Scarpia). We hope that these guides will prove an invaluable resource now and for years to come, and that by delving deeper into the history of an opera, the poetry of the libretto and the nuances of the score, readers’ understanding and appreciation of the opera and the art form in general will be enhanced.

La Fanciulla del West in Full Score Author: Giacomo Puccini. Notes: Set in the days of the California Gold Rush, La Fanciulla del West (The Girl of the Golden West) is a staple of the repertoire, filled with dramatic touches, much lyric beauty and brilliant orchestration.

  • Puccini's La Fanciulla Del West
    Puccini’s La fanciulla del West - A discographical survey by Ralph Moore There are sixty recordings in the catalogue but only four of those are studio-made. Discounting Puccini’s first, tentative efforts, the comparative neglect of La fanciulla del West is matched only by La rondine, which has also been given only four studio recordings and even fewer live performances. They were both composed in the middle of Puccini’s creative maturity after the premieres of the “Big Three”, yet have struggled to maintain a foothold in the operatic repertoire. There are reasons for that, but devotees of both operas are puzzled by their neglect. Fanciulla could hardly have a more auspicious premiere, being launched in 1910 on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera starring no less a lead singer than the greatest tenor of all time, Enrico Caruso, alongside the great dramatic soprano Emmy Destinn, both in roles created by Puccini especially for them – and for good measure, Pasquale Amato was Jack Rance, Toscanini conducting. Time machine, anybody? Although I do not share Puccini's belief that Fanciulla is his greatest work it contains a wealth of lovely music, not least big, well-known arias and some tender love music. It's true that the Americanisms - everyone bawling "Hello!" and randomly singing “Dooda day!” - and the rather ghastly, patronising depiction of Native Americans going "Ugh!" are rather grating and even embarrassing to a modern audience, and there is more than a hint of sentimentality about the plot, but it can be hugely enjoyable when performed by a great cast.

In his works he has touched on a considerable diversity of styles, all ingrained in a personal idiom stemming mainly from the 20th century neo-classical movement. This is amply evidenced by comparing the pungent asperity of his String Quartet op. 33 (written for and premiéred by the Kronos String Quartet) with the lyricism of the Canticle Cantata op. 42 for soloists, mixed choir and orchestra; or the impulsive exuberance of the Violin Concerto op.
