What is essential is that you have to be passionate about the work: Canadian baritone Étienne Dupuis, Don Carlo in the Royal Opera's revival of La Forza del Destino on his clutch of Verdi roles
[…] revivals played a role. He has a similar admiration for Laurent Pelly's work, and Étienne took part in Pelly's production of Ravel's two operas at Glyndebourne in 2015.What is true is that with different directors, some people thrive and others do not. With Robert Wilson's production of Pelléas et Melisande, Étienne had difficulty because the stylised movement gave him physical pain (something I have heard from other singers in Wilson's productions), whereas his Melisande, Elena Tsallagova, simply seemed to thrive, she fitted in. Born in Montreal, Étienne is a native French speaker so I was intrigued as to how he felt about Verdi's Don Carlos, an opera written originally in French but best known in its Italian form. Having recently performed the role of Rodgrigue/Posa at the Met in French, Étienne has now performed the role in both languages. His first comment is that when he sings the role, it […]

Royal Albert HallJennifer Walshe: The Site of an Investigation (London premiere)Brahms: Ein deutsches Requiem, op.45Jennifer Walshe (voice)Elena Tsallagova (soprano)Shenyang (bass-baritone)National Youth Choir of Great Britain (chorus director: Ben Parry)BBC Scottish Symphony OrchestraIlan Volkov (conductor) I am sure one could find something these two works had in common if one tried; one always can. The question is whether it would be anything more than a parlour game trick to do so. For instance, does saying that both composers, Jennifer Walshe and Johannes Brahms, assembled (many of) the words they set from pre-existing texts shed light on anything? Not really. Perhaps there is something less tenuous in regarding both as having a memorial element, Walshe’s The Site of an Investigation being dedicated to the memory of a friend, the actor Stephen Swift. Again, though, I am not sure that helps connect Walshe and Brahms’s music. It is probably better to treat […]
