Prince Albert II of Monaco 27 dec 06 jan 2019 2020 Gstaad - Rougemont - Lauenen − PROGRAMME − gstaadnewyearmusicfestival.com www.letiziaalpineart.com 3 DEAR FRIENDS First and foremost I wish to express my gratitude to our magnificent and generous patrons Mrs Aline Foriel-Destezet, Mr Philippe Foriel-Destezet, Mr Paul Fichot, HH Prince Mubarak Al-Sabbah, Mrs Federica & Mr Patrice Feron, Mrs Sana Sabbagh and Mr Antoine Turzi together with a generous benefactor who prefers not to be named here. The Festival would never have been able to attract such fine artists without our patrons’ unfailing commitment. Most especially, I would like to thank Mr Philippe Gudin de La Sablonnière for his precious, and loyal, support for the festival by hosting the young artists. I also wish to warmly thank those wonderful Amis du Festival who together made it possible to present the concerts of 30 December: Mrs Inès Bodmer & Baron Xavier del Marmol, Mrs Birgit Gerlach, Count & Countess Alexandre von der Pahlen, Count & Countess Alain de Saint Côme Mr & Mrs Pierre Tari and of the 3 January recital of the incredible 12 year-old pianist Alexandra Dovgan: Mrs Armelle Gauffenic, Mr & Mrs Dogaev & Mr Theo Grand.

The support of the Commune de Rougemont and Gstaad Tourism indicates the importance of our presence during this festive time of the year, as well as the great honour done to our festival by the city of Bonn by including us in the Beethoven 2020 and Beethoven Pastoral Project world celebrations.

  • Opera up Close Youtube Playlist Bit.Ly/Operaupclosecco
    Opera Up Close YouTube Playlist bit.ly/operaupcloseCCO All answers to the “what language are they singing?” questions are at the bottom of this list. 1. “What Happens Just Before Show Time At The Met Opera” https://youtu.be/GdUScE7VZq8 The American Ballet Theater shows us what happens before their performance of WHIPPED CREAM at the Met. Notice how many people it takes to put on a show! Make sure to read all the fun pop-up text as the camera zooms through the opera house. Pay close attention to the wigs and makeup, scene shop, and wardrobe (costume) departments. Did you know that wigs and facial hair are made out of real human hair? WOW! And look at how big that stage is. It’s so big that a set as big as a building can fit on it. What’s your favorite thing or person that you spot backstage? 2. COLORATURA SOPRANO - The Queen of the Night from THE MAGIC FLUTE – Diana Damrau https://youtu.be/YuBeBjqKSGQ You will hear a wonderful example of “coloratura soprano” singing in this video. A coloratura soprano sings high, light, and fast notes and has the highest voice of all sopranos and treble voices. This is German soprano Diana Damrau as The Queen of the Night in Mozart’s THE MAGIC FLUTE. Notice how her upper body fully engages (moves) when she sings the high and fast notes. Can you sing this high? What language is Diana Damrau singing? 3. LYRIC SOPRANO - Mimi from LA BOHÈME – Angel Blue https://youtu.be/XacspEL_3Zk Another kind of soprano is a “lyric soprano.” A lyric soprano sings high notes, too, but these voices are not comfortable singing as high for as long of a time period as coloratura sopranos, and the color of the voice is different.
