September 2016, 14.00 - 16.00 Uhr, SRF 2 Kultur (Zweitsendung) Gäste im Studio: Graziella Contratto (Dirigentin) und Anselm Gerhard (Musikwissenschaftler) Gastgeberin: Gabriela Kaegi Ein aufmüpfiges Mädchen, das bei Soldaten aufgewachsen ist, ein schwer verliebter Junge, ein Bauer, der der Liebe zuliebe sogar ins Militär eintritt - das sind die beiden Hauptpersonen in Donizettis Opéra comique. In den verdrehten Rollenbildern von Marie und Tonio steckt schon viel Komik drin, aber Donizetti setzt noch einen drauf: er lässt die bodenständige Welt des Militärs auf die Scheinwelt des Adels prallen - und wir freuen uns zuhörender (und zusehenderweise) an den Peinlichkeiten, die dabei entstehen.

With her exceptional technique, versatility and acting talent Íride Martínez presents different roles of different styles and eras. Íride Martínez began her musical education in her native country Costa Rica. Then she had the unique opportunity to go to Europe. There celebrities such as Mirella Freni, Elio Battaglia and Wilma Lipp have taught her in acting and singing. For a Costa Rican, this is then as now inconceivable. Therefore Íride Martínez is for many of her fellow countrymen a great symbol. In 2014 she celebrated her 20th stage anniversary. Recent appearances include her long awaited Japan debut with the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra touring through the country's most important concert halls with Beethoven's SYMPHONY NO. IX, further, again an invitation to Semperoper Dresden as Fiakermilli in ARABELLA under Christian Thielemann. Until 2016, Íride was a member of the Vienna State Opera where she excelled as Queen of the night, Gilda and especially as Marie in LA FILLE DU RÉGIMENT side by side with star tenor Juan Diego Flórez. After her debut with Norina in DON PASQUALE in 1994 at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, from 1995 to 2002 Íride was a permanent member of the ensemble at the Cologne Opera.

Blake Library’s catalog, and click on citations to see full articles.) BELLINI’S NORMA featuring CECILIA BARTOLI This tragic opera is set in Roman-occupied, first-century Gaul, features a title character, who although a Druid priestess, is in many ways a modern woman. Norma has secretly taken the Roman proconsul Pollione as her lover and had two children with him. Political and personal crises arise when the locals turn against the occupiers and Pollione turns to a new paramour. Norma “is a role with emotions ranging from haughty and demanding, to desperately passionate, to vengeful and defiant. And the singer must convey all of this while confronting some of the most vocally challenging music ever composed. And if that weren't intimidating enough for any singer, Norma and its composer have become almost synonymous with the specific and notoriously torturous style of opera known as bel canto — literally, ‘beautiful singing’” (“Love Among the Druids: Bellini's Norma,” NPR World of Opera, May 16, 2008). And Bartoli, one of the greatest living opera divas, is up to the challenges the role brings. (New York Public Radio’s WQXR’s “OperaVore” declared that “Bartoli is Fierce and Mercurial in Bellini's Norma,” Marion Lignana Rosenberg, June 09, 2013.) If you’re already a fan of this opera, you’ve no doubt heard a recording spotlighting the great soprano Maria Callas (and we have such a recording, too), but as the notes with the Bartoli recording point out, “The role of Norma was written for Giuditta Pasta, who sang what today’s listeners would consider to be mezzo-soprano roles,” making Bartoli more appropriate than Callas as Norma.

Daniela DESSI, Soprano
Daniela DESSI, soprano With an impressive repertoire, which includes more then seventy operatic works, Daniela Dessì is confirmed as one of the most important Sopranos on the current opera scene. With a solid international career, her performances and recordings are a reference for the whole Verdi repertoire as well as the Verist and Puccini repertoire. Born in Genoa, she trained at the Arrigo Boito Academy in Parma (singing and piano), qualifying later on at the Chigiana Academy in Siena. In 1980, she won her first award at the International Competition of RAI and made her début with La serva padrona (Pergolesi). Thus, she began her spectacular career performing in the most important theatres and festivals worldwide, showing a deep aesthetic capability ranging from Monteverdi to Prokofiev, with a particular specialisation in Mozart. Currently she is considered as the best interpreter of the Verist repertoire. Her presence is constantly requested on the most prestigious stages such as the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the Regio in Turin, the Carlo Felice in Genoa, the San Carlo in Naples, the Comunale in Bologne, La Fenice in Venice, the Verona Arena, the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, in Florence, the Massimo in Palermo, the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, the Lyric Opera House in Chicago, San Francisco Opera House, Los Angeles Opera House, the Staatsoper in Vienna, Deutsche Opera in Berlin, Bayersiche Staatsoper in Munich, the Opernhaus in Zurich, the Teatro Real in Madrid, the Liceu in Barcelona, the Maestranza in Seville, Bilbao Ópera House, Oviedo Opera House and many more, which include the most important theatres in Tokyo, Nagasaki, Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya and Sapporo – she being the first soprano to play the role of Butterfly in these numerous Japanese cities and in theatres such as the Opera Theatre in Seoul (Korea) and in the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro, Saltzburg Festival, Puccini Festival in Torre del Lago, Festival of the Valle d’Itria in Martina Franca, and many more.

The Royal Opera Performance Dates 39 6. Press Office Contacts 41 Telephone, personal and online booking on http://www.roh.org.uk opens 28 June 2005. Supported by Arts Council England 1 Introduction to the 2005/6 Royal Opera Season – Antonio Pappano I’m really thrilled with the unusual mix of work the new Season offers. We open with concert performances of Donizetti’s last opera, Dom Sébastien. It’s one of Donizetti’s greatest achievements and yet it’s rarely heard. It’s bigger than the Donizetti we know and love and probably sounds more Verdian to our ears, but it’s an unusual piece in that it has a significant role (Zayda) for a mezzo-soprano instead of the usual soprano – we have Vesselina Kasarova singing the part. Piero Faggioni’s production of La fanciulla del West is an old Covent Garden favourite from the last 30 years and one I’ve always wanted to revive. It’s a piece that otherwise rarely comes up, and it deserves a renaissance. The Wild West setting seems so improbable but it works so well – we all love to see a Western, and Puccini’s music is very cinematic, brilliantly conjuring up the locale and colours of America. It’s one of his most sophisticated scores, as sophisticated, if not more so, than Turandot.
