[…] The production by Lombardero was convincing, colorful and agile, with costumes by Luciana Gutman. A very professional group of singers functioned as a team and both sang and acted admirably. Santiago Bürgi and Graciela Oddone led the game. The fun is even in their surnames: the Repollos (Angulegui, María Victoria Gaeta), the Castrados (Mariano Fernández Bustinza, Cecilia Pastawski). Then there was the Governor (Juan Pablo Labourdette), Pedro Capacho (Pablo Pollitzer), the Musician (Pablo Scaiola) and the Furrier (Officer), with Lombardero himself. The Orchestra under Sotelo was quite effective. Bad blot: the information in the hand programme was almost nil. For Buenos Aires Herald

[…] couple of years ago, is wonderful both acting and singing. The two whores are done with plenty of insight by soprano María Victoria Gaeta and mezzosoprano Cecilia Pastawski: in their voices the "Alabama Song" and "Benares Song", bittersweet jewels, have near-ideal versions. And the four men who have gone to Mahagonny for easy money, booze and women, are sung and acted with great dramatic presence by tenors Pablo Pollitzer (in very good voice) and Santiago Burgi, whilst baritone Mariano Fernández Bustinza and bass Juan Pablo Labourdette sang with powerful delivery and splendid material.

There was a brilliant cast around "her": Patricia Cifuentes as a supersonic Madness and as Clarine, Evelyn Ramírez as Juno, Norberto Marcos (Jupiter), Pablo Pollitzer (both Thespis and Mercure), Sergio Carlevaris (a lanky bass Momus), Patricio Sabaté (Cithéron/Un satyre) and Soledad Molina (Amour). The work of the combined orchestra and the choir was wholly admirable, showing again the excellence of Birman in this repertoire. The dancers were flexible and gamely adapted to the libidinous situations. As […]

[…] the Twentieth Century. Decades later I saw a very moving stage presentation with Carlos Bengolea (one of his best appearances) at an unlikely venue, the Museo de Arte Moderno at San Juan Avenue. The date could be as much as twenty years ago, so I deeply welcome this admirable presentation with Pablo Pollitzer at his very best, the voice dramatic, the musicality perfect and the acting of great impact. By the time Janácek wrote in 1917-19 his song cycle on anonymous folk words his style was fully mature, for he had premièred his marvelous "Jenufa" in 1904. The 22 short fragments tell the story of a […]
