(Check local listings.) In this Rossini classic based on the work by Sir Walter Scott, DiDonato sings the title role of Elena, the lady of the lake pursued by two men, with Flórez in the role of Giacomo, the benevolent king of Scotland. Michele Mariotti , last featured in the Great Performance at the Met broadcast of Rigoletto , conducts debuting Scottish director Paul Curran's staging, a co-production with Santa Fe Opera. The cast also includes Daniela Barcellona in the trouser role of Malcolm, John Osborn as Rodrigo, and Oren Gradus as Duglas. "The wondrous Ms. DiDonato and Mr. Mariotti, the fast-rising young Italian conductor, seemed almost in competition to see who could make music with more delicacy,” noted The New York Times earlier this year, and “Mr. Mariotti drew hushed gentle and transparent playing from the inspired Met orchestra.” And NY Classical Review raved, "Joyce DiDonato…was beyond perfect..

The first concern of course is for our families and friends. Protecting their health and limiting the spread of the virus still is our grea- test common obligation. We are all asked to adapt to the current circumstances, follow the restrictions in our sport and the advice for per- sonal distancing where necessary. And we can see that in following official advice we are successfully fighting Covid-19. As a result in more and more countries the strict measures will be eased in the upcoming weeks, a return to limited training slowly is possible. Polo clubs and stables affected from the restric- tions have mastered the special challenges very well. Des- pite the sometimes limiting possibilities, the care for the horses was and is always upheld. And fortunately the good and close cooperation with the authorities has made it possible to quickly implement individual training plans.

  • Pdf Allan Clayton 2019-20 Season
    Soul Singer RPS Award winner Allan Clayton’s 2019-20 season includes Britten Series at Wigmore Hall, La Scala debut with John Eliot Gardiner and Brett Dean’s Hamlet in concert at the Concertgebouw "Clayton’s voice wrapped around all of them [Mark Anthony Turnage's Refugee songs] like a glove, with perfect weight and range of colour and dynamics, and he returned to end the evening with an equally masterly account of Britten’s Nocturne" The Guardian, September 2019 Any attempt to survey the major landmarks of 21st century classical music must surely include Brett Dean’s Hamlet. The opera’s premiere production in 2017 not only proved a triumph for its composer but also for Allan Clayton, whose title-role performance was hailed by the Guardian for its ‘slow-burning intensity’ and eulogised by The Times: ‘Forget Cumberbatch. Forget even Gielgud,’ wrote the paper’s senior critic, Richard Morrison. ‘I haven’t seen a more physically vivid, emotionally affecting or psychologically astute portrayal of the Prince of Denmark than Allan Clayton gives in this sensational production.’ The 38-year-old tenor returns to the role later this season for Hamlet’s Dutch premiere, presented in concert by the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and Markus Stenz at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw (20 June 2020). He can also be seen in Opus Arte’s DVD of the work’s original production, winner of Gramophone’s 2019 Contemporary Award. “Everyone involved in staging Hamlet for the first time had to do something extraordinary, to work above and beyond,” Allan Clayton recalls of the experience, which also earned him the 2017 Royal Philharmonic Society’s Singer Award.
