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). Outre Angelina, elle a chanté une autre paire de ses rôles préférés de Rossini pour Washington Concert Opera, Falliero dans Bianca e Falliero (2008) et Arsace dans Semiramide (2015), ainsi que le chant de la musique de La donna del lago et Biographie, Saison 2016 – 2017 P a g e 1 | 4 Maometto secondo dans le concert gala de 2016, célébrant trentième anniversaire de la WCO. Chanter ses héroïnes féminines et rôles masculins de travesti, Vivica a amassé un répertoire de neuf caractères de Rossini, l'un de ses favoris parmi lesquels, Malcolm dans La donna del lago, elle reviendra en concert au Salzburger Pfingsfestspiele en Juin 2017. Parallèlement à ses réalisations en bel canto, Vivica a été largement salué pour ses interprétations de la musique de Georg Friedrich Händel, Antonio Vivaldi, et leurs contemporains. Un créneau vital dans une vaste répertoire baroque de Vivica est la musique de Johann Adolf Hasse, un compositeur dont les œuvres elle défend dans les théâtres et sur disque. En 2017, le rôle de Piramo dans Piramo e Tisbe de Hasse emmène au Theater an der Wien à Vienne et au Palau de les Arts à Valence pour les représentations en concert avec Europa Galante et Fabio Biondi. 2017 apporte également ses débuts de rôles Eternità et Diana dans La Calisto de Francesco Cavalli à l'Opéra national du Rhin, avec des représentations à Strasbourg et Mulhouse. Plus tôt dans la saison en cours, Vivica a interprété le rôle d'Emilia dans Catone in Utica d’Antonio Vivaldi pour la première fois dans une paire de representations en concert avec Oper Köln. En Juillet 2016, elle a ajouté Junon dans Actéon de Marc- Antoine Charpentier à son répertoire par un programme double avec Dido and Aeneas de Henry Purcell, dans lequel elle a chanté Dido, présenté par Les Talens Lyriques à Beaune, France, et a repris à Acre, en Israël, et au Théâtre des Champs- Élysées de Paris en Septembre et Octobre 2016. En concert, un point culminant de la Saison 2016 – 2017 est le début d'un nouveau programme avec la musique composée par Gluck, Händel, Hasse, Porpora, Ristori et Wagenseil, pour le chanteur mythique Orphée. Cela continue la tradition de Rival Queens, l'exploration de Vivica avec la soprano Simone Kermes des airs et duos composés pour les divas de la dix-huitième siècle, Faustina Bordoni et Francesca Cuzzoni, documentée sur disque par Sony Classical et programmé pour être repris au Teatru Manoel de Malte en Janvier 2017. En Février 2017, Vivica retourne à Biographie, Saison 2016 – 2017 P a g e 2 | 4 Chicago pour trois concerts avec le Chicago Symphony Orchestra, avec laquelle ensemble elle est apparue pour la première fois en 2014. Autres concerts dans la Saison 2016 – 2017 transportent Vivica à Tours, en France, pour The Colours of Emotions avec Concerto Köln; à Rovigo, en Italie, pour La magnifica comunità, avec des œuvres de Riccardo Broschi (le frère du castrat légendaire Farinelli), Händel, Hasse et Vivaldi; et à la Händel-Festspiele Halle pour Pianto di Maria, une présentation de la musique attribué par erreur à Händel. Parmi les efforts les plus mémorables de Vivica dans les dernières saisons sont sa participation à la première mondiale de l’oratorio Le sack de Louvain de Piet Swerts en Août 2014, commémorant le centenaire de la destruction de Louvain au début de la Première Guerre mondiale; son ravissement-reçu représentation de Giulio Cesare de Händel à Shanghai en 2014; sa première interprétation de Ruggiero dans Alcina de Händel à Moscou en Janvier 2015; chantant le rôle-titre dans la première moderne de Veremonda, l'amazzone di Aragona de Francesco Cavalli au 2015 Spoleto Festival USA à Charleston, Caroline du Sud; sa première représentation avec Brisbane Baroque en Avril 2016; une tournée en Asie avec The Academy of Ancient Music en mai 2016; et version de concert de I Capuleti ed i Montecchi de Bellini avec Europa Galante et Fabio Biondi. Avoir des prix convoités gagné incluant un ARIA Award (1997), le prix Christopher Keene de New York City Opera (2007), et le prix Maecenas de Pittsburgh Opera (2008), Vivica aime partager ses expériences et son expertise avec les nouvelles générations de chanteurs par les cours de maître et des possibilités d'enseignement. Elle est souvent en vedette dans des émissions et des disques et des enregistrements sur DVD et Blu-ray, un élargissement d'une discographie impressionnante qui documente toute la durée de sa carrière à ce jour, et elle continue à étendre ses répertoires de concert et d'opéra, ce dernier qui étend désormais à plus de soixante rôles. Vivica réside en Italie avec son mari, Massimo.

  • Over 100 Opera Makers
    #OPERAHARMONY CREATING OPERAS IN ISOLATION 1 3 WELCOME TO #OPERA HARMONY FROM FOUNDER – ELLA MARCHMENT Welcome to #OperaHarmony. #Opera Harmony is a collection of opera makers from across the world who, during this time of crisis, formed an online community to create new operas. I started this initiative when the show that I was rehearsing at Dutch National Opera was cancelled because of the lockdown. Using social media and online platforms I invited colleagues worldwide to join me in the immense technical and logistical challenge of creating new works online. I set the themes of ‘distance’ and ‘community’, organised artist teams, and since March have been overseeing the creation of twenty new operas. All the artists involved in #OperaHarmony are highly skilled professionals who typically apply their talents in creating live theatre performances. Through this project, they have had to adapt to working in a new medium, as well as embracing new technologies and novel ways of creating, producing, and sharing work. #OperaHarmony’s goal was to bring people together in ways that were unimaginable prior to Covid-19. Over 100 artists from all the opera disciplines have collaborated to write, stage, record, and produce the new operas. The pieces encapsulate an incredibly dark period for the arts, and they are a symbol of the unstoppable determination, and community that exists to perform and continue to create operatic works. This has been my saving grace throughout lockdown, and it has given all involved a sense of purpose. When we started building these works we had no idea how they would eventually be realised, and it is with great thanks that we acknowledge the support of Opera Vision in helping to both distribute and disseminate these pieces, and also for establishing a means in which audiences can be invited into the heart of the process too .
