    Eleonora Buratto, from Mantua, Is One of the Most Highly Acclaimed Lyric Sopranos in the World

    Saverio Clemente Andrea De Amici Luca Targetti Eleonora Buratto, from Mantua, is one of the most highly acclaimed lyric sopranos in the world. Her career began in 2009 singing as Creusa in Demofoonte, conducted by Riccardo Muti at the Salzburg Festival, Opéra Garnier and the Ravenna Festival. In the years that followed she sang under Maestro Muti as Susanna in the opera I Due Figaro by Mercadante, as Norina in Don Pasquale, Amelia in Simon Boccanegra, Alice in Falstaff and Countess Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro. At the start of 2015 she was Corinna at the Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam in Il Viaggio a Reims, directed by Damiano Michieletto and conducted by Stefano Montanari. Since then her international career has continued to develop. That same year she sang for the first time both as Liù and as Countess Almaviva and she also inaugurated the Teatro San Carlo season in Naples singing as Micaela in Carmen conducted by Zubin Mehta. Since 2016 she has made other debuts which have become signature roles in her Eleonora Buratto repertoire such as Mimì at the Liceu in Barcelona, Donna Anna at Soprano the Aix-en-Provence Festival, Elettra in Idomeneo at the Teatro Real in Madrid (available worldwide from spring 2020 on Dvd and Bd by Opus Arte) and Luisa Miller once again at the Liceu. She has regularly made her return, amongst other theatres, to the Teatro Real in Madrid, Liceu in Barcelona, Lyric Opera in Chicago, Dutch National Opera, Teatro San Carlo in Naples, the Metropolitan Opera and the Royal Opera House and has sung in concert performances

    LEADING TEAM ZUR INSZENIERUNG „Ich mache keine Opera buffa, sondern stelle einen Typen dar. Mein Falstaff ist nicht nur derjenige, der in den Lustigen Weibern von Windsor von Shakespeare vorkommt, wo er bloß ein Narr ist und sich von den Zubin Mehta, Musikalische Leitung Frauen betrügen lässt, sondern auch so, wie er unter den beiden Heinrichs [d. h. in den beiden Teilen von Damiano Michieletto, Regie Shakespeares Henry IV] war.“ Verdis Bemerkung, von Italo Pizzi in seinen Memorie verdiane (1901) überliefert, gibt bündig wieder, worum es dem Komponisten in seiner letzten Oper Falstaff ging: nicht um Paolo Fantin, Bühne die Wiederbelebung einer lustigen oder lächerlichen Figur in der Tradition der alten italienischen Buffa- Oper, sondern – wie sollte es beim großen Humanisten Verdi anders sein? – um das Porträt eines Carla Teti, Kostüme menschlichen Charakters in allen seinen Schattierungen. Arrigo Boito, dem Verdi seit der Otello-Premiere Alessandro Carletti, Licht zunehmend freundschaftlich verbunden war, wusste glücklicherweise recht genau, was für ein Libretto nötig war, um den bald 80-Jährigen zu einer weiteren gemeinsamen Arbeit zu motivieren. So ist es vor allem sein rocafilm, Video Verdienst, dass sich Verdi den jahrzehntelang gehegten Wunsch, eine komische Oper zu komponieren, doch noch erfüllen konnte. „Boito hat mir eine lyrische Komödie geschrieben, die keiner anderen gleicht“, Christian Arseni, Dramaturgie berichtete er 1890 in einem Brief. Auch wenn die Oper, die am 9. Februar 1893 an der Mailänder Scala ihre Walter Zeh, Choreinstudierung Uraufführung erlebte, eine gewisse Portion an konventioneller Situationskomik enthält, so ist sie doch vor allem eine Charakterkomödie – mit Musik, die in der Zeichnung der Figuren virtuos zwischen innerer Anteilnahme und ironischer Distanz changiert.

    LA FORZA DEL BARITONE Interview ERNESTO PETTI (Ernesto Petti) OM: Ernesto, since October 2018 you have been performing successfully at the Theater Basel in „Lucia di Lammermoor“ where you and your colleagues got many positive comments by the audience as well as by the media. EP: Singing in Basel was a great experience, the city is very beautiful and in the moments free from work I really enjoyed going around discovering its beauty. The work enviroment was very stimulating. OM: How did you experience your work in Basel and what was your personal highlight of your work period in Basel? EP: I was lucky in this production to work alongside great artists. This package has led to a climate of relaxation that allows us to give the best of us. One of the most beautiful moments was certainly when the public decided to give us a standing ovation, which is not very common in the theater. Rosa Feola and Ernesto Petti in LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR/Theater Basel/ Foto @Sandra Then OM: How did you get to become an opera singer and who at the beginning encouraged you to go this way? EP: Initially opera music did not interest me at all. I was completely dedicated to sports, in fact, already young (13) I played in a water polo team Serie A2. Around the age of 17 I approached opera music thanks to discs on the possesion of my father, who is a big fan of this genre. Love was immediate and from there I decided, thanks to the total family support to take this path.

I cosiddetti “luoghi di nutrimento dell’anima”, sono stati luoghi senz’anima, senza il vociare del suo pubblico che li abita, senza i suoi lavoratori che rendono viva l’opera, la musica, la danza. Eppure in questo lungo tempo il San Carlo non è stato inoperoso. Da oltre un anno abbiamo messo in campo diversi progetti, cercato di creare un’alternativa in assenza dello spettacolo dal vivo, elaborando idee coerenti col nostro percorso artistico. Abbiamo utilizzato altri linguaggi, altri strumenti, nuove attività di formazione per raggiungere il nostro pubblico e nuovi spettatori. È stato tempo di incertezza, di ansia, ma anche di riflessione, di azione comune, e l’impegno costante di salvaguardare i diritti dei lavoratori e nel contempo creare una nuova squadra che potesse guardare al futuro con rinnovata fiducia.
