CARAMI HILAIRE Soprano Lirico-spinto soprano Carami Hilaire, praised for her “marvelous sound, rich and luscious", (Opera News) is poised to become an international name in the Verismo repertoire. The Metropolitan Opera Guild has featured her in concert performances of Tosca and she recently sang her first Musetta in La bohème with Regina Opera. Her subsequent performances of the title role in Aida were a resounding critical success: “Hilaire’s intimate phrasing floated over the tumult of the strings, and in the moments where her voice soared, she earned the applause which nearly brought the show to a stop." (OperaWire). Other recent engagements have included a recital sponsored by the Wagner Society of New York, the title role in Suor Angelica in Italy, and a concert with Opera Memphis. In 2020 she starred in two prominent White Snake Projects by activist producer Cerise Lin Jacobs: Alice in the Pandemic, and Essential Songs, commissioned works on the devastation that Covid-19 wreaked on the lives of essential workers. ‘Mimi’ has appeared with Sarasota Opera, Opera Saratoga, Teatro Nuovo, New Jersey Verismo Opera, and the Internationale Opernwerkstatt of Switzerland. In 2019 she was a featured soloist in Symphony of the Mountains’ Song of the Slave. She anticipates two debuts in the 2021-22 season: Lady Macbeth in Macbeth with Knoxville Opera, and the role of Tia in Cosmic Cowboy with White Snake Projects. A notable prize recipient, Ms. Hilaire received the Aprile Millo award from the Premiere Opera International Vocal Competition, was awarded a Julian Autrey Foundation grant, and won an encouragement award from the Wagner Society of New York. This unique and soulful performer hails from Brooklyn, NY. She attended the Mannes School of Music where she earned a Professional Studies Diploma.

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.

Verdi's Don Carlo
Verdi’s Don Carlo: a partial survey of the discography by Ralph Moore Introduction The CLOR discography lists 165 recordings of Don Carlo (or should that be Don Carlos? - more of that anon). A couple of live recordings in German were made before the first one in Italian, live from the Met 1950, with a cast headed by Jussi Bjőrling, then there was a whole slew of live and radio recordings throughout the 50’s from the Met and various Italian opera houses, punctuated by the first studio account conducted by Santini in Rome in 1954, with a stellar (and Stella) cast including Gobbi and Christoff. This still stands up remarkably well despite its age and some casting weakness. Santini was again at the helm for the next studio recording in 1961 with an even finer cast, then Solti recorded the Five Act version for Decca in 1965. For so great and popular an opera, Don Carlo has received very few studio recordings; Giulini followed in 1971, Karajan in 1978, Abbado in 1983-84, Levine in 1992 and Haitink in 1996. Only Abbado’s was in French, and Richard Farnes recorded an English version for Chandos in 2009. Thus, so far, we have had a grand total of only nine studio versions: seven in Italian, one in English and only one of the original French version, yet the catalogue is teeming with live performances. No survey can encompass so many, nor have I considered DVDs. However, I assess below some twenty-seven audio accounts, having restricted my choice to the nine studio recordings plus a sampling of live performances, including the three live recordings of original Five Act versions in French; the rest are variously either of the Four or Five Act versions in Italian.
