Puccini) „Und auch ein musikalischer Glanzpunkt der Aufführung entfaltet sich in diesem zweiten Bild des Werkes, wenn Franka Kraneis als Musette ihren Walzer mit erotischer Spannung sowohl in der Gesangsdiktion als auch in der Körpersprache präsentiert.“ (Syker Kreiszeitung, Dezember 2004, Kritik zu „La Bohème“ von G. Puccini) „Noch etwas besser agierte Franka Kraneis (Ännchen), die mit mühelos geführtem, leuchtendem Organ für die vokalen Höhepunkte dieser Premiere sorgte.“ (Syker Kreiszeitung, September 2004, Kritik zu „Der Freischütz“ von C.M. von Weber) „Franka Kraneis war mit ihrem blitzsauberen, beweglichen Sopran ein Bilderbuch- Ännchen und bezaubert auch mit ihrem natürlichen Spiel.“ (Orpheus, 2004, Kritik zu „Der Freischütz“ von C.M. von Weber) „Da war die kecke Sophie von Franka Kraneis, auf deren hübschem Gesicht sich eindrucksvoll ganze Gefühlswelten spiegelten, und deren kostbares, mit wissendem Kunstverstand eingesetztes Höhenmaterial der Sängerin eine Karriere verspricht.“ (Opernwelt, Juni 2004, Kritik zu „Der Rosenkavalier“ von R. Strauss) „In Fluten der Zähren zerfließen konnte man auch, als Franka Kraneis ihre letzte Arie anstimmte. Die Sopranistin hat einen Engelston in der Stimme, wie man ihn seit Elly Ameling und Edith Mathis selten hörte: himmlisch.“ (Nordseezeitung, März 2004, Kritik zu „Die Johannespassion“ von J. S. Bach) „Franka Kraneis hatte den einzigen wahrhaft frivolen Augenblick des Abends für sich gepachtet: Ihre mit allen Wassern gewaschene Hortense darf sich in köstlich-komischer Katerstimmung auf dem Badewannenrand räkeln und Strumpfband zeigen. Als Drahtzieherin der Verwicklungen rund um drei rosa Dominos zieht die Soubrette alle bekannten Register des Kammerkätzchens in mühelosen Koloraturen ... .“ (Nordseezeitung, November 2003, Kritik zu „Der Opernball“ von R. Heuberger) „Franka Kraneis als Zwangs-Verlobte Anastasia hatte die schönste Stimme des Abends: mit wunderbar verlogener Übersüße in der Höhe.“ (Nordkurier, Juni 2003, Kritik zu „Die Csardasfürstin“ von E. Kalman) „Franka Kraneis wertet die Hirtenfigur auf und hat stimmlich zweifellos Zukunft ... .“ (Opernwelt, Februar 2003, Kritik zu „Tannhäuser“ von R. Wagner) „Dasselbe schaffte auch Franka Kraneis beim Publikum als neu besetzte Luise in der Operette. Die 26-Jährige hatte zuvor in der Inszenierung des „Weißen Rössl“ bereits als hinreißend lispelndes, singendes und tanzendes Klärchen überzeugt. Die schwere Bürde, die Erstbesetzung abzulösen, meisterte sie mit eben solcher Bravour. ... Nun ist eine mal quirlig- lebenslustige, mal überzeugend leidende, zarte Jung-Königin zu erleben.“ (Sonntagszeitung, Juli 2002, Kritik zu „Königin Luise“ von J. Strauss, J. Offenbach, R. Kollo) 6.

  • Viva!” Is the Final Number of Il Re Pastore (The Shepherd King), Which Mozart Composed in 1775 in Salzburg When He Was Just 19 Years Old
    2 Editor’s Note Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was one of the most significant composers of the Viennese Classical style and is revered today as one of the greatest composers of all time. Mozart was a tremendously talented composer in the many forms of the Classical era, including operas, symphonies, concertos, chamber works, sonatas, choral works, arias, and songs. His works are highly revered today for their beautiful melodies and rich harmonies. Born in Salzburg, Austria, Mozart’s genius was apparent at a very early age. He became a well-known performer in many European cities by his early teens, eventually serving as concertmaster for the Archbishop of Salzburg. In 1781, after becoming discontented with his low salary and the lack of opportunity for more opera composition in Salzburg, Mozart quit the position and settled in Vienna. Achieving many successes in Vienna, he became known as the finest keyboardist in the city, and he completed a variety of works, including piano concertos and operas. Although he became famous for a while, Mozart’s career and finances gradually declined. He spent his remaining years without the security of a permanent position while struggling for recognition and commissions. “Viva!” is the final number of Il re pastore (The Shepherd King), which Mozart composed in 1775 in Salzburg when he was just 19 years old. Based on the 1751 libretto of Pietro Metastasio, this two-act work is often referred to as a “seranata” because it is a shortened version of an opera seria (serious opera). The production features a small cast of performers and was originally presented with very limited staging.

  • IL RE PASTORE July 19 and 21 in San Francisco
    MEROLA OPERA PROGRAM CONTINUES ITS 61 ST SEASON WITH IL RE PASTORE July 19 and 21 in San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO, CA (6 June 2018) – San Francisco’s acclaimed Merola Opera Program presents the stars of tomorrow in Mozart’s Il re pastore . Merola is one of the most prestigious and selective opera training programs in the world, featuring 29 artists selected from more than 800 international applicants. This exquisite early Mozart work featuring a string of thrilling arias explores the competing pulls of love and duty, as a young shepherd finds he must renounce his true love in order to reclaim his lost throne. Il re pastore will be performed 7:30pm, Thursday, July 19, and 2:00pm, Saturday, July 21, at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music . For tickets or more information, visit www.merola.org or call ( 415) 864-3330. In the spring of 1775, 19-year-old Mozart wrote Il re pastore in response to a commission by the Archbishop of Salzburg. With a plot that explored the demands of love against the demands of kingship, the young Mozart’s work shines with its rich orchestration and ingenious score. In addition to fulsome dramatic singing from all five soloists, highlights include Aminta’s famous arias “Aer tranquillo e di sereni” and “L'amerò, sarò costante.” Performances will be conducted by Stephen Stubbs, a leading figure in the American early music scene and winner of a Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording in 2015 for Charpentier: La descente d’Orphée aux enfers. In 2007, Stubbs established his production company, Pacific MusicWorks, based in Seattle, reflecting his lifelong interest in both early music and contemporary performance.
