  • STEPHEN COSTELLO in an EVENING of BEL CANTO ARIAS
    MEDIA RELEASE: October 2, 2019 CONTACT: Katie Syroney, Interim Communications Director (513) 768-5526 or [email protected] Editors’ note: Images available upon request. CINCINNATI OPERA PRESENTS METROPOLITAN OPERA STAR STEPHEN COSTELLO in AN EVENING OF BEL CANTO ARIAS Considered to be “among the world’s best tenors” (Daily Express, UK), Costello performs opera favorites at Memorial Hall Oct. 29 CINCINNATI—Cincinnati Opera proudly presents world-renowned tenor Stephen Costello in a special concert event this fall. On Tuesday, October 29, Costello will perform an evening of opera favorites in the beloved bel canto (Italian for “beautiful singing”) style, including excerpts from The Elixir of Love, Rigoletto, Lucia di Lammermoor, and more. The concert reunites Costello with Cincinnati Opera after his acclaimed performances as Rodolfo in La Bohème (2010) and Alfredo in La Traviata (2012). The event also celebrates the recent release of Costello’s first solo album, A Te, O Cara, a collection of bel canto arias by Donizetti, Verdi, and Bellini on the Delos label. “A prodigiously gifted singer whose voice makes an immediate impact” (Associated Press), Stephen Costello stands “among the world’s best tenors” (Daily Express, UK). The Philadelphia-born artist came to national attention in 2007, when, aged 26, he made his Stephen Costello Metropolitan Opera debut on the company’s season-opening night. Photo: Merri Cyr Two years later, Costello won the opera industry’s prestigious Richard Tucker Award, and he has since appeared at many of the world’s most important opera houses and music festivals, including London’s Royal Opera House, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Vienna State Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, San Francisco Opera, Washington National Opera, and the Salzburg Festival.

La traviata, based on the Alexandre Dumas play La dame aux camellias, tells the story of Violetta Valéry, a courtesan who finds true love and is then forced to make a terrible sacrifice by an unforgiving society. Alternating in the role of Violetta Valéry are sopranos Eglise Gutiérrez and Ailyn Pérez. Opera News recently featured an article on Ms. Gutiérrez that stated, “The tiny Cuban- American soprano combines her vocal acuity with an emotional presence and a Method-like ability to listen moment-to-moment that makes her an opera-lover’s (and a theater-lover’s) dream.” Ms. Gutiérrez is a rising star of the international opera world only four years after making her professional debut as Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor in Bogotá, Colombia.
