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
Verdi: La Forza del Destino - Étienne Dupuis - Royal Opera 2023 (Photo: Camilla Greenwell)Canadian baritone Étienne Dupuis is currently appearing as Don Carlo in the Royal Opera's production of Verdi's La Forza del Destino, directed by Christof Loy, with Sondra Radvanosky and Brian Jagde conducted by Sir Mark Elder (in repertory until 9 October) and I was lucky enough to be able to catch up with Étienne after the first night. This season, Verdi is something of a theme, Étienne is also singing Germont in La Traviata in Vienna and makes his role-debut in the title role of Verdi's Rigoletto at the Teatro Real in Madrid. Last year, he had huge success as Rodrigue in the Metropolitan Opera's first production of Verdi's Don Carlos in the original French. Étienne appeared in the Ravel double bill of L’Heure Espagnole and L’Enfant et les Sortilèges at the Glyndebourne Festival in 2015. […]

Britten War Requiem at SFS
Davies Symphony HallPhoto by Lisa HirschHere's what I had to say about Philippe Jordan in 2018, when I saw him conduct Tristan und Isolde at the Paris Opera;Philippe Jordan, who will leave Paris for Vienna in 2020, conducted, and was variable. His pacing of that last scene in Act II was masterly; elsewhere, he could be wayward. Neither of the performances I saw caught musical fire in the way this opera can blaze; the orchestral sound was on the muddy side, though without more experience of the opera house, I can’t determine whether the acoustics of the Opéra Bastille, my seats, or his conducting had the greatest responsibility for this. His pacing was sometimes bizarre: for example, Isolde’s Transfiguration reached its greatest climax far too early, so that the final climax was anticlimactic. He was much better in Michel Jarrell's Bérénice:Philippe Jordan’s meticulous conducting balanced a big orchestra beautifully with the voices […]

News of the Day, Julia Bullock Edition; Media Round-up of History's Persistent Voice
History's Persistent Voice Julia Bullock, seated left; Christian Reif, conducting Photo courtesy of San Francisco Symphony, (c) Kristen Loken On Tuesday, the soprano Julia Bullock gave a remarkable performance in History's Persistent Voice, a concert of works by Black women composers interspersed with readings from incarcerated people, quilters, and artists. This is a fabulous program, created by Bullock; all of the works were written for her and she make substantive contributions to each, as an editor or curator of the texts. I hope that it will appear on CD or DVD; it's a marvelous program in every way and I would love to see it again. Reviews here: Joshua Kosman, SF Chronicle Janos Gereben, Classical Voice America Lisa Hirsch, SFCV (not posted yet) And today came the announcement of something I had been wondering about: Bullock has withdrawn from the world premiere performances […]
