In 1893 he entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory, the course of C. Gabel, who a year later expelled the student for "voiceless and incompetence". Later C. Gabel admitted his error. In 1894 he made his debut in opera in Pskov. Vladimir surved for the operatic stage about 45 years, his repertoire included 35 roles. In 1898—1918 and 1923—1930 he was a soloist of Mariinsky Theatre, and in 1918—1923 of Bolshoi Theatre, performing Ruslan and Susanin ("Ruslan and Ludmila" and " Life for the Tsar" by M.Glinka), Pimen ("Boris Godunov" by Mussorgsky), Gremin and Kotchubey ("Eugene Onegin" and "Mazepa" by Tchaikovsky),Miller ("Rusalka" by Dargomyzhsky), Count Almaviva and Leporello ("The Marriage of Figaro" and "Don Giovanni" by Mozart), Vladimir Galitsky ("Prince Igor" by Borodin),Nilakanta ("Lakme" by Delibes). Vladimir Kastorsky was extremely successful in R.Wagner's operas: Wotan ("The Ring of the Nibelung") and Wolfram ("Tannhauser"), among others. In 1907 he organized a vocal quartet to promote Russian folk songs and toured with it in Russia and Europe. In 1907-1908 he participated in Sergei Diaghilev's Russian Seasons. The singer was the first performer of parties in Paris: Ruslan ("Ruslan and Ludmila" by Glinka, 1907), Pimen ("Boris Godunov" by Mussorgsky, 1908), Prince Yuri Tokmakov ("The Maid of Pskov" and Rimsky-Korsakov, 1909).

Charles Hackett Hackett Delibes Hubbard Lombardi Maria Barrientos Rosa Ponselle Metropolitan Opera Lyric Opera Chicago 1889 1914 1919 1923 1925 1934 1942
Charles Hackett sings 'Dans la foret,' recorded in New York on 22 October 1925. The harp is played by Sepp Murscher. From Wikipedia: Charles Hackett (November 4, 1889 – January 1, 1942) sometimes referred to as Carlo Hackett, was an American tenor. He was born on November 4, 1889 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Hackett studied first at the New England Conservatory in Boston with Arthur J. Hubbard, and later with Vincenzo Lombardi in Florence. He made his stage debut in Genova, as Wilhelm Meister in Mignon, in 1914. He sang in Italy and South America, before making his debut at the Metropolitan Opera on January 31, 1919, as Almaviva. He appeared there for three seasons, also as Lindoro, Roméo, Il duca di Mantova, Alfredo, Rodolfo, Pinkerton, Wilhelm Meister, Cavaradossi, Don Ottavio, Vincent and Des Grieux. He also sang at the Lyric Opera of Chicago from 1923 until 1934. He returned to the Metropolitan on February 3, 1934 as Roméo, and performed there for another five years. Hackett made a number of recordings for Edison and Columbia, notably duets with Maria Barrientos and Rosa Ponselle, in which one can appreciate a singer with a fine technique and a certain elegance. He died on New Year's Day, January 1, 1942 in Manhattan, New York City. I transferred this side from my copy of Australian Columbia 03542.
Mary Dunleavy Bizet Delibes Rita Shane Renata Scotto 1993 1994 1995 1998 2002 2004
THE MUSIC: Leïla, the soprano lead in Bizet's opera "Le pecheurs de perles" (The Pearl Fishers) is more of a French lyric role, with a smidgen of coloratura in her prayer to the deity Brahma at the end of Act 1. Her big aria in Act 2 ("Comme autrefois") is very reminiscent of Micaela's strictly lyrical aria in "Carmen" with no coloratura or extended high notes. However, this segment that closes Act 1 has some frills, trills, and top notes in order to conjure the exotic world of Ceylon and elevate the vocal temperature as the act closes. Could it have provided some inspiration for Delibes' more elaborate Bell Song in "Lakmé," which written about 20 years later? THE SONGBIRD: I recorded this performance from a broadcast out of Philadelphia in 2004 with Mary Dunleavy in her prime. Dunleavy is an American soprano who has sung leading lyric-coloratura roles around the world (name a city or venue or festival and she has likely sung there). She made her Met debut in 1993 in a small role in "Rusalka," with her first leading role there being Gilda in 1995, and her first of 17 performances Queen of the Night there came in 1998. Mozart's Queen was a calling card role for her: 84 performances with numerous companies between 1994 and 2002, at which point she began a natural shift to the role of Pamina. She hails from Connecticut, and studied at Northwestern University, followed by a Master of Music at University of Texas at Austin. She studied/coached with Rita Shane and Renata Scotto, among others.
