LES ARTS: I MASNADIERI (SECCO-PERTUSI-RUCINSKI-MANTEGNA;LAVIA-ABBADO)

El darrer viatge a València havia estat el mes de desembre del 2016 per assistir a una representació d’un títol verdià poc representat, I vespri siciliani i ara, al cap d’una mica més de dos anys torno a Les Arts per assistir a una altra raresa verdiana, aquesta encara més infreqüent, la segona de les cinc representacions previstes de I Masnadieri, l’òpera basada en Els bandits de Friedrich…

Lucia di Lammermoor

[simone-boccanegra]

10-18 for the opera asks? Thank you!!

10. Favorite production of your favorite opera? Don Carlo, hmmm... there are a lot of great ones! The Salzburg one if a good balance between traditional and kind of sleek (not too over-the-top), and the Munich one is best if you want that Carlo/Rodrigo/Filippo triangle.

11. If you were an opera singer, what three characters could you see yourself being realistically cast as? (Can be from different operas)

Tosca, Sieglinde and Amelia (Ballo)

12. Favorite clueless tenor? Parsifal, he’s a good boy and he eventually learns.

13. Favorite love duet? Dio che nell’alma infondere ;)

14. A mezzo-soprano character you love? Eboli is waifu

15. An aria that gives you chills? Wotan’s Abschied

16. Create a hypothetical opera adaptation off of a classic novel (and cast it if you want!) Hmmm, Quo vadis would be great but it would also be extremely long. Vinicius is your typical hotheaded tenor (Castronovo maybe), Lygia is a cute soprano (Oropesa?), Petronius is a hot middle-aged baritone (Mariusz or Artur Rucinski, let’s keep him Polish), Ursus is a friendly giant bass (ideas?), Nero is probably a countertenor since he’s in so many baroque operas, Poppea is a mezzo, Eunice is a soprano, Peter is your standard wise old bass (Furlanetto maybe?), Chilon, maybe  character tenor because they tend to be really good actors. 

17. A character who has the same personality as you? Tosca

18. Best tenor/baritone relationship? my boys Carlo and Rodrigo
