    Saverio Clemente Andrea De Amici Luca Targetti Francesco Meli is one of the most fascinating and sought-after tenors in the world. He was born in Genoa in 1980 and began studying singing at the age of seventeen with the soprano Norma Palacios at the Conservatorio Paganini.

  • Macerata Opera Festival from 20 July to 12 August 2018 the 2018 Theme Is #Verdesperanza
    ! The Sferisterio arena The Sferisterio arena is unique in its shape and structure. Built on the initiative of the Hundred Comrades (Cento Consorti), it was designed in 1829 by Neoclassical architect Ireneo Aleandri to host the game with ball and bangle. In 1921, it was used as an opera theatre for the first time (the first opera to be staged was Aida) and it’s still the only open-air opera theatre with boxes." After Gioconda, which was performed in 1922, activities were summoned again only in 1967. The season opened with Giuseppe Verdi’s Otello, featuring Mario Del Monaco in the leading role. Since then, the Sferisterio has welcomed the most extraordinary artists of our time: Luciano Pavarotti, Katia Ricciarelli, Renato Bruson, Montserrat Caballé, Placido Domingo, José Carreras, Raina Ka- baivanska, Mariella Devia, Anna Caterina Antonacci, Désirée Rancatore, Francesco Meli, Rolando Villazon, Rudolf Nureyev, Carla Fracci, Roberto Bolle." With its 2,500 seats, 104 boxes and one of the longest stages in Europe, the Sferisterio ensures perfect visibility and wonderful acoustics." A majestic yet intimate theatre, the Sferisterio was thus defined by tenor Luciano Pavarotti: “it is the most fascinating open-air theatre I have ever seen, I will never forget it”. Macerata Opera Festival" From 20 July to 12 August 2018 The 2018 theme is #verdesperanza The main issues threaded into our next summer festival are connected with a green, clean envi- ronment and sustainability, with planting the seeds of a better future through the art of hope. Our aim is to build strong ties with other bodies and institutions working on these issues, building a dia- logue on sustainability and bringing together culture, nature and the community.

  • De L'opéra À La Chanson
    1 NATALIE DESSAY De l’opéra à la chanson 1 « Si Harpo Marx était né sous l’étoile d’une soprano colorature, il aurait été Natalie Dessay. Car aucune Fille dans La Fille du Régiment n’a été aussi comique. Par contre, il est difficile d’imaginer, 2 depuis Maria Callas, une soprano plus dramatique en Lucia ou plus hypnotique dans La Sonnambula. Tragédienne ou Comédienne, Natalie a régné en souveraine dans notre théâtre. » Peter Gelb Directeur du Metropolitan Opera - New York “If Harpo Marx had been born a coloratura soprano, he would have been Natalie Dessay. As the Daughter in The Daughter of the Regiment, no soprano has ever been physically funnier. But for that matter, it is hard to imagine any soprano since Callas to be more dramatic in Lucia or more hypnotic in La Sonnambula. When it comes to both tragedy and comedy, Natalie has reigned supreme on our stage.” Peter Gelb General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera House-New York City 2 LÉO DELIBES 1836-1891 VINCENZO BELLINI 1801-1835 1 Les Filles de Cadix, chanson espagnole. 4.42 7 La Sonnambula : Ah! non credea mirarti...

CINDERELLA | Ballet de Prokofiev/Matthew Bourne Jueves, 15 de abril / 19.30h De un coreógrafo que convirtió a los cisnes de Chaikovski en un grupo de bailarines (masculinos) siempre cabe esperar sorpresas. El inglés Matthew Bourne (1960) sitúa La Cenicienta en el Londres bombardeado por los nazis en 1941. El Blitz dejó 20.000 muertos y una ciudad devastada. En ese contexto desesperado y frágil surge el amor entre la protagonista y -en vez de un príncipe- un piloto de la RAF, la fuerza aérea británica. Los decorados evocan el cine de Fred Astaire y Powell/Pressburger, aunque también imágenes históricas como el ataque de la Luftwaffe al Café de París, donde se sitúa el baile de salón del Acto II, que parece un sueño. El planteamiento tiene sentido: esta música se escribió Sadler’s Wells Theatre de Londres, 06/2017 precisamente durante la II Guerra Mundial.

  • Quadern Música
    AV UI DIUMENGE, 9 DE DESEMBRE DEL 2007 Cultura i Espectacles 49 De com alguns dels artistes de més èxit del Xavier Cester moment, com Juan Diego Flórez i Natalie Quadern de música Dessay, mostren el seu art en CD i DVD Històries de triomfadors a setmana passada va posar dret el públic del Liceu, un fet al qual ja deu estar avesat un tri- omfador com Juan LDiego Flórez. Un altre escenari del seu èxit va ser Zuric en una producció de Don Pasquale de Donizetti (Decca, DVD) que té en el tenor peruà el màxim atot. L’Ernesto de Flórez enamora per l’elegància del seu cant, al costat del Pasquale de Ruggiero Rai- mondi, cantant desgastat i im- mens actor. Petites estridències a part, Isabel Rey és una desim- bolta Norina que treu bon profit de l’eficaç posada en escena de Grischa Asagaroff. Al costat de Flórez, és la sapiència de Nello Santi –un d’aquells directors que no faran cap genialitat ni falta que els fa– el que justifica l’edició. Una altra triomfadora nata és Natalie Dessay, com sempre aportant unes dosis generoses de compromís dramàtic a papers so- vint vistos de forma massa esto- vada, com La sonnambula de Be- llini (Virgin). Francesco Meli és un Elvino més viril que d’habitud i Carlo Colombara un Comte Rodolfo de gran presència, tots Isabel Rey (Norina) perd l’oremus per Juan Diego Flórez (Ernesto) en un muntatge de ‘Don Pasquale’ a l’Òpera de Zuric ■ SUZANNE SCHWIERTZ sota la dinàmica batuta d’Eveli- no Pidò.
