Katarina Dalayman Soprano
KATARINA DALAYMAN SOPRANO BIOGRAPHY LONG VERSION Swedish soprano Katarina Dalayman has sustained a long and prestigious international career in the dramatic repertoire and she has enjoyed enduring collaborations with many of today’s foremost conductors. Strong, dramatic interpretations married with impeccable musicianship are her characteristics. Dalayman has performed a wide range of roles including Isolde (Tristan und Isolde), Marie (Wozzeck), Lisa (Queen of Spades), Ariadne (Ariadne auf Naxos), Katarina Ismailova (Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk) and the title role of Elektra. With a particularly strong association to Wagner's Brünnhilde, Dalayman has appeared in Ring cycles at The Metropolitan Opera, Opéra National de Paris, Wiener and Bayerische staatsoper, Teatro alla Scala, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Semperoper Dresden, Salzburger Festspiele and Festival d’Aix en Provence. Looking ahead to the next phase in her career, Katarina Dalayman’s repertoire is now focused on new roles, having recently made her debut as Kundry (Parsifal) in Dresden, Paris and Stockholm, Judith (Duke Bluebeard’s Castle) in Barcelona and London (Royal Opera House), Ortrud (Lohengrin) with Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and Brangäne (Tristan und Isolde) at The Metropolitan Opera. She has recently appeared as Herodias (Salome) for Royal Swedish Opera, Foreign Princess (Rusalka) at The Metropolitan Opera, Klytämnestra (Elektra), Amneris (Aida), and Kostelnicka (Jenůfa), all for Royal Swedish Opera. Among recent performances can be mentioned her highly celebrated interpretation of Kundry at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, a production that was broadcasted around the world in the Mets “Live in HD” performance transmissions, an appearance together with Bryn Terfel in Die Walküre at the Tanglewood Festival in USA, an interpretation of Carmen and Elisabetta in Maria Stuarda both at the Royal Swedish Opera and Ortrud in Lohengrin, with the Concertgebouw Orchestra. -

Operaharmony
#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 . -
My Fifty Years with Wagner
MY FIFTY YEARS WITH RICHARD WAGNER I don't for a moment profess to be an expert on the subject of the German composer Wilhelm Richard Wagner and have not made detailed comments on performances, leaving opinions to those far more enlightened than I. However having listened to Wagnerian works on radio and record from the late 1960s, and after a chance experience in 1973, I have been fascinated by the world and works of Wagner ever since. I have been fortunate to enjoy three separate cycles of Der Ring des Nibelungen, in Bayreuth 2008, San Francisco in 2011 and Melbourne in 2013 and will see a fourth, being the world's first fully digitally staged Ring cycle in Brisbane in 2020 under the auspices of Opera Australia. I also completed three years of the degree course in Architecture at the University of Quensland from 1962 and have always been interested in the monumental buildings of Europe, old and new, including the opera houses I have visited for performance of Wagner's works. It all started in earnest on September 29, 1973 when I was 28 yrs old, when, with friend and music mentor Harold King of ABC radio fame, together we attended the inaugural orchestral concert given at the Sydney Opera House, in which the legendary Swedish soprano Birgit Nilsson opened the world renowned building singing an all Wagner programme including the Immolation scene from Götterdämmerung, accompanied by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra conducted by a young Charles Mackerras. This event fully opened my eyes to the Ring Cycle - and I have managed to keep the historic souvenir programme. -
Brian Jagde Has Quickly Emerged As One of the Most Engaging and Exciting Artists of His Generation
Saverio Clemente Andrea De Amici Luca Targetti American tenor Brian Jagde has quickly emerged as one of the most engaging and exciting artists of his generation. Jagde begins the 2017/18 season in his highly anticipated role debut as Calaf in Turandot at San Francisco Opera, under the baton of Nicola Luisotti. He then travels to Switzerland for his debut at Opernhaus Zürich as Cavaradossi (Tosca) and sings the role later in the season at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. In February 2018, Jagde makes his first appearance at the Het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam as the tenor soloist for a live radio broadcast performance of Verdi's Requiem, with conductor Edo de Waart and the Radio Filharmonisch Orkest. Mr. Jagde will debut as Der Fremde in a new Christof Loy production of Korngold's rarely performed Das Wunder der Heliane at Deutsche Oper Berlin, and returns to the US for his house debut at Seattle Opera as Radamès in Aida. His most recent seasons have featured important role debuts, including Maurizio (Adriana Lecouvreur) at the Royal Opera House; Radamès in a new production of Aida at San Francisco Opera; and Froh (Das Rheingold) in his first appearance with the New York Philharmonic. House debuts have included Pinkerton (Madama Butterfly) at the Brian Jagde Teatro Massimo, Washington National Opera, and Staatsoper Tenor Hamburg; Don José (Carmen) in a new production at the Teatro San Carlo and the Bayerische Staatsoper; Houston Grand Opera as the Prince (Rusalka); Macduff (Macbeth) at the Teatro Real; Cavaradossi (Tosca) at Oper Stuttgart and Bacchus (Ariadne auf Naxos) at Palm Beach Opera. -

Wagner the Ring an Orchestral Adventure Arranged by Henk De Vlieger

His method was to select the most important orchestral passages from the cycle, linking them together in such a way as to create a unified symphonic work – a symphonic poem. The musical con - nec tions between these excerpts, as a result of Wagner’s leitmotif tech nique, are retained and with them at least a part of the original coher - ence. The excerpts have in most cases been taken over without alterations; only occasionally has an essential vocal line been replaced by wind instruments. -

Donald Runnicles Leads Cso in Program of Works by Elgar, Strauss, and Britten
For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: April 29, 2016 Eileen Chambers, 312-294-3092 Photos Available By Request [email protected] DONALD RUNNICLES LEADS CSO IN PROGRAM OF WORKS BY ELGAR, STRAUSS, AND BRITTEN May 5, 7 and 10, 2016 CHICAGO—Conductor Donald Runnicles leads the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) in concerts on Thursday, May 5, at 8:00 p.m., Saturday, May 7, at 8:00 p.m., and Tuesday, May 10, at 7:30 p.m. The program includes Benjamin Britten’s Sinfonia da requiem, Richard Strauss’ gripping tone poem Death and Transfiguration, and Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations. Britten’s Sinfonia da requiem, opens the program. Written in 1940 as a commission for the 2600th anniversary celebrations of the Japanese emperor Hirohito’s ruling dynasty, the piece went unused for the occasion due to its notably mournful tone. Britten’s beautifully orchestrated and strikingly powerful work was later premiered by the New York Philharmonic in Carnegie Hall in 1941. The program continues with one of Richard Strauss’ early tone poems, Death and Transfiguration, which traces a man’s journey through the pain of death to his eventual redemption. Concluding the evening’s program is Elgar’s Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 36 (Enigma) which contains 14 charming and witty musical portraits of the composer’s circle of acquaintances and one of Elgar himself. Arguably one of the most popular English classical works of the 20th century, the Enigma Variations was given its U.S. premiere by the CSO in 1902. Internationally renowned conductor Donald Runnicles serves as General Music Director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Chief Conductor of BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and Music Director of the Grand Teton Music Festival, as well as Principal Guest Conductor with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. -
