Visiting Aucoin’s Underworld
[…] Lyric Opera Chicago, Berlin Staatsoper, Wiener Staatsoper, Teatro Real Madrid, to name a few, and countless concert halls. On his website (https://marksdoss.com/), you may find his biography, in which what immediately leaps to the eye is the artist's enormous versatility. In his case, calling himself a bass-baritone means exactly that he sings both pure baritone parts, such as Rigoletto, Nabucco, Rigoletto, Germont, and Alfio, and true bass roles, such as Méphistophélès in Faust, Boito’s Mefistofele, and Zaccaria in Nabucco. His repertoire is extensive, with over 100 roles to his credit, and ranges from baroque (e.g. Argante in Rinaldo, the bass part in The Messiah, etc.) to contemporary opera, such as “Eurydice” in Boston. The summer of 2023 saw the release of his latest album, “Welcome To My World” (Çedille Records), where, accompanied by pianist Ken Smith, he performs 21 selections dealing with several musical genres and spanning over three centuries.

In the event, Friday 14 January 2022's performance of Verdi's Nabucco at the Royal Opera House, featured Liudmyla Monastyrska as Abigaille with conductor Renato Balsadonna, plus Amartuvshin Enkhbat as Nabucco, Alexander Vinogradov as Zaccaria, Vasilisa Berzhanskaya as Fenena, Najmiddin Mavlyanov as Ismaele. So that is a cast made up of one Ukrainian, one Mongolian, two Russians, and one Uzbekistani, which perhaps gives an indication of where the big Verdi voices are coming from at […]

Anglais - Second Revival of Daniele Abbado’s Nabucco at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden
[…] 9 March 1842. Set in 587 BC, the opera follows the plight of the Jews as they are assaulted, conquered and exiled from their homeland by Nabucco, the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II. In this way, the historical events act as a background to a story that is full of love triangles and political scheming. In the opera, Nabucco finds it easy to conquer the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem because, although the High Priest Zaccaria has a hostage in the form of the Babylonian King’s younger daughter Fenena, Ismaele, nephew of the King of Jerusalem, loves her. As a result, when Zaccaria threatens to kill Fenena if Nabucco attacks the Temple, Ismaele intervenes to save her, meaning that no deterrents remain.
