Biography Biography PARNASSUS ARTS PRODUCTIONS Ray Chenez Countertenor
Ray Chenez Countertenor Biography Biography PARNASSUS ARTS PRODUCTIONS Ray Chenez Countertenor American countertenor Ray Chenez is redefining his fach, with a voice that possesses a rare combination of beauty, power, and flexibility. He has the capacity to sing a range of repertoire unheard of for a countertenor, and mesmerizes audiences with his embodiment of male and female roles. He was featured in Opera News as one of the next generation’s rising stars of opera, stating “Ray Chenez’s countertenor is bold and assertive but also warm-toned and luxurious. He has a naturally electric presence, and his diction is precise no matter how high he sings.” Winner of the 2014 George London Award, and has been called “luxury casting” by the New York Times, having “excellent connection to text, superb vocal control and spotless diction” by Opera News, and having a “dramatic soprano voice which oozes potential” by Opera Britannia. In the 2019-20 Season, he makes his debut at the Opéra Comique in Paris in Cavalli’s Ercole Amante as Il Paggio; makes his role debut as Piacere in Handel’s Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno with Concerto Köln; returns to Opéra National de Bordeaux as the Angel in Anton Rubinstein’s The Demon; returns to Deutsches Nationaltheater Weimar as Kalden/Ty in the world-premiere opera The Circle by Ludger Vollmer; and makes solo-concert debuts in Halle (DE) and Ankara (TR). Female roles include Irina in Three Sisters by Peter Eötvos (Oper Frankfurt - 2018), the Witch of Endor in Handel’s Saul (Theater an der Wien - 2018), Nutrice/Amore -
A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire
A COUNTERTENOR’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO OPERATIC REPERTOIRE Brad Morris A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2019 Committee: Christopher Scholl, Advisor Kevin Bylsma Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2019 Brad Morris All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Christopher Scholl, Advisor There are few resources available for countertenors to find operatic repertoire. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an operatic repertoire guide for countertenors, and teachers with countertenors as students. Arias were selected based on the premise that the original singer was a castrato, the original singer was a countertenor, or the role is commonly performed by countertenors of today. Information about the composer, information about the opera, and the pedagogical significance of each aria is listed within each section. Study sheets are provided after each aria to list additional resources for countertenors and teachers with countertenors as students. It is the goal that any countertenor or male soprano can find usable repertoire in this guide. iv I dedicate this thesis to all of the music educators who encouraged me on my countertenor journey and who pushed me to find my own path in this field. v PREFACE One of the hardships while working on my Master of Music degree was determining the lack of resources available to countertenors. While there are opera repertoire books for sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses, none is readily available for countertenors. Although there are online resources, it requires a great deal of research to verify the validity of those sources. -

Música de Georg Friedrich Haendel (1685-1759). Libreto de Antonio Salvi, basado en el libreto de ‘Ginevra, Principessa di Scozia’ (1708) de Giacomo Antonio Perti, sobre los cantos IV y VI del poema ‘Orlando furioso’ (1532) de Ludovico Ariosto.

TEMPORADA 2017-2018 DENBORALDIA 3 Honor, amor, perdón Londres, 8 enero de 1735. Georg Friedrich Haendel (Halle, 1685 - Londres, 1759) estrenaba su Ariodante en el Covent Garden de Londres. Sería la primera de sus partituras para las temporadas de este teatro londinense, tras su ruptura con el King’s Theatre. En la capital británica se sostenía por aquel entonces una pugna entre el citado Covent Garden y la Ópera de la Nobleza. La prime- ra contaba con el apoyo de la Casa Real (no en vano pervive hoy en día su nombre como Royal Opera House) si bien la segunda disfrutaba del respaldo del Príncipe de Gales.
