  • Samson & Dalilah, Aida
    METROPOLITAN OPERA, OCTOBER 2018 On two successive days, I saw two of the grandest spectacles of grand opera: Camille Saint-Saens SAMSON ET DELILAH Giuseppe Verdi AIDA SAMSON & DALILAH This was a new production starring superstars French tenor Roberto Alagna and Latvian mezzo Elina Garanča. She was in excellent voice – wonderfully resonant chest tones, where most of this role is written. Throughout, her performance was at the pinnacle of the mezzo’s art. The tenor started out rather weakly – nothing technically wrong with his singing, just didn’t seem to have much passion in his attempts to rouse the Hebrews to revolt in Act I. He warmed up in Act II, and did a credible job in the seduction scene, where Garanča really excelled. And then in Act III – an announcement was made that he could not continue the performance, and a substitute was announced: Gary(?) Bennett. Perhaps he was known to most of the audience, because that was greeted with warm applause. No reason was given – perhaps Alagna was injured at the end of Act II, where Samson is captured by Philistine soldiers, thrown to the ground and pummeled. The substitute acquitted himself admirably in the initial scene of Act III, where he appears solo chained to a millstone, but he faded in the later crowd scenes with full ensemble and orchestra at full blare. And the ensemble – in Act I, the choral singing was phenomenal. That chorus is a national treasure! The role of the Old Hebrew was sung by Ukrainian bass Dmitry Belosselsky, with an anazingly rich, full-bodied voice.

The COC’s 65th season is once again comprised entirely of company productions, four of which are new to Toronto audiences, and features the COC’s first mainstage world premiere since 1999, COC premieres of opera rarities and the revival of classic masterpieces. The COC presents Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata in a new company production; the world premiere of Barbara Monk Feldman’s Pyramus and Thisbe presented with the COC premieres of Claudio Monteverdi’s Lamento d’Arianna and Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda; the continuation of the COC’s Ring operas with the revival of its acclaimed production of Richard Wagner’s Siegfried; a new COC production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro; the COC premiere of Gioachino Rossini’s Maometto II; and a revival of the COC production of Georges Bizet’s popular opera Carmen. “With the 15/16 season we can explore with our patrons the vitality of opera through the centuries. The new season follows the evolution of opera, from its earliest beginnings with the Monteverdi pieces, to the world premiere of a 21st-century Canadian work,” says COC General Director Alexander Neef. “This season offers something for everyone while at the same time allowing us as a company to showcase the timelessness of opera as well as moving the art form forward.” The COC continues to bring opera’s most exciting emerging and established artists to its stage.
