[…] one of her seasons opened with The Mother of Us All. Music Director Eun Sun Kim conducts. (Right now I'm thinking that I should try to find a commercial recording or bootleg of the Barber Antony that opened the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center.) Gabriela Lena Frank, El úlitmo sueño de Frida y Diego, libretto by Nilo Cruz. Co-commission; first performances are at San Diego Opera in October, 2022. Starring Daniela Mack (Friday), Alfredo Daza (Diego), Yaritza Vélez, and Jacob Ingbar star. Roberto Kalb conducts, Lorena Maza directs. SFO has made a great effort here to cast this with native Spanish speakers from the Americas! I think that this is the first main-stage work composed by a woman and the first work in Spanish to be presented by SFO. She is also Jewish, but there's Meyerbeer in the company's past, so she's definitely not the first Jewish composer to […]

Anglais - The Great Lucia from Nadine Sierra and Javier Camarena
[…] madness scene. Javier Camarena was also an anthological Edgardo. The evolution of his voice is an interesting one as, whilst maintaining the brightness on the top notes, it is gaining weight and density in the central register which now sounds with an ideal warmth for the roles of lyric tenor. He saved his best cards for the final imposing scene, and he too obtained a total triumph. Rough, authoritarian and blunt was Alfredo Daza, debuting at the theatre, who was convincing in the Role of Enrico. Mirco Palazzi failed to fully fill the role of Raimondo of the weight and gravity that the sacerdotal dignity demands of the character. The rest of the secondary characters did well, including Emmanuel Faraldo in the unpleasant role of Lord Arturo Bucklaw, a character commonly known in the opera tradition as Lo sposino (the little husband), who only comes on stage […]

Anglais - Music is our language - Rolex calls for the preservation of music
[…] front of an audience. Her speech comes from the heart and touches the hearts of her listeners, who are also delighted to absorb the live experience. The young pianist Olga Zada opens the evening with a fresh and light interpretation of Franz Schubert's Impromptu op 142 D 935. The soprano Ekaterina Siurina, accompanied by Giuseppe Mentuccia, then weaves more drama than necessary into the famous jewel aria of Gretchen from Charles Gounod's Faust. Alfredo Daza's performance of Giuseppe Verdi's aria "Morir tremenda cosa!", from La forza del destino, is dark and gloomy. The audience can breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy solo virtuosity with Klan Soltani on cello playing David Popper's Hungarian Rhapsody. The work is characterised by rousing rhythms and a range of folkloric melodies. Michael Volle fittingly places a powerful rendition of Richard Wagner's exhortation, "Verachtet mir die Meister nicht" ("Don't despise the masters") from the […]
