Cucine Lube Civitanova-Azimut Modena Volley 3-1 (25-20; 25-18; 24-26; 25-17)

Modena Volley lost for the second time in a row, this time in the away game against Lube Civitanova. The Yellows have still troubles with receiving and were largely outplayed by their opponent, except for the third set where they pulled a good comeback.

The MVP of the match was Dragan Stankovic.

Among the Yellows, Santi Orduna showed once again to be the player who is most committed to this team and this jersey, giving everything he could to save the day.

Nicola Salsi, Modena's backup setter for Santi Orduna, has decided to leave Modena. Though we might not have seen him on the court that much (since he did only recently move up from Modena's junior team), he is a talented setter. I hope he continues to play/finds a team who can provide more game time for him.

Diatec Trentino-Azimut Modena Volley 3-0 (25-23; 27-25; 25-18)

Modena Volley lost the away game against Trento. The match was actually very tight in the first two sets, then the Yellows kinda gave up mentally in the third one, where the gap was way bigger. This defeat prevented Modena to improve their ranking position, which is still the 4th one.

The MVP of the match was Filippo Lanza.

Among the Yellows, shout-out to Maxwell Holt who played despite having suffered an ankle injury earlier this week.

Santi Orduna showed once again that he is the only one who never ever gives up, not even when everything else falls apart.

SCM Craiova-Azimut Modena Volley 0-3 (16-25; 19-25; 18-25)

Modena Volley smoothly won the away match against Craiova, dominating in every single set. The Yellows secured their position at the top of the Pool D’s ranking, automatically qualifying for the Cev Champions League Playoff12.

Kevin Le Roux delivered an outstanding performance, showing that he’s finally reached his top shape this season.

Luca Vettori was the  top scorer of the match with 15 points.

Santiago Orduna deserves a special mention, as he scored a total of 4 aces throughout the whole match.

Azimut Modena Volley-Sir Safety Perugia 3-2 (25-22; 19-25; 25-21; 21-25; 15-11)

Modena Volley managed to win over Perugia for the 11th time in a row, once again with a successful comeback in the tie break. The Yellows were pretty solid in the first set, though too many mistakes at service in addition to wasting some attacks cost them the second set. The third set was really tight: Modena pulled herself together, but Perugia’s coach, Lorenzo Bernardi (here are some pills of volleyball history: Bernardi was nominated “Best volleyball player of the century” together with Karch Kiraly by the FIVB; he is a legend of the Italian national team) subsituted Aaron Russell for Aleksandar Atanasijevic as a sort of “fake opposite” (here I’m quoting what Berardi said in the post-match interviews). This was a rather unexpected move, which took Modena by surprise. Anyway, the Yellows won the third set, which was closed by an ace of Captain Petric, but Perugia didn’t give up and come back stronger throughout the fourth set, especially thanks to the outstanding performance delivered by Russell. In the tie break, Perugia was leading, though when the teams reached the 3-6 score, Modena managed to turn the situation around. Santi Orduna delivered a one-man block on Zaytsev’s spike, Luca Vettori scored two additional points and another successful attack from Earvin Ngapeth enabled Modena to tie with the opponent; then, Modena was ahead thanks to a slash by Santi on a free ball and one ace from Kevin Le Roux. Ngapeth scored the 12th point for the Yellows with a spectacular dig point, then Santi scored the set point with an ace on Zaytsev, and the Yellows eventually won thanks to a service mistake from the opponent.

It was an emotional roller coaster, but the Yellows were successful once again.

Luca Vettori was the MVP of the match, being the top scorer with 22 points.

Kevin Le Roux delivered his best performance ever since his arrival in Modena, scoring 16 points, 4 of which where aces.

Santi Orduna was extremely solid throughout the whole match, in addition to be one of the key players for the tie break’s comeback.

After Riccardo Chailly opens the season with Tosca, continuing the cycle of works by Puccini, he will conduct his first Strauss opera, as well as the complete Beethoven symphonies. Zubin Mehta will conduct two Verdi operas as well as Luigi Nonno’s Intolleranza which will be performed at La Scala for the first time. Handel’s Semele will also receive its first staged performance at the theatre. There are fifteen operas in the 2019-2020 season, of which eleven are new productions.

Anna Netrebko will open the season in Tosca on 7 December, but strangely the tenor has not yet been confirmed. Backstage voices say that the Russian diva is pressing for her husband, Yusif Eyvazov, to be given the role.

After the popularity over the last couple of years, the opening of the season will again be transmitted live on Italy’s main television channel, Rai1.

The recital series, listed below, features Matthias Goerne, Erwin Schrott, Aleksandra Kurzak, Ekaterina Semenchuk, Bejun Mehta, Marina Rebeka, and Sabine Devieilhe.

Teatro alla Scala 01

La Scala, Milan: Opera and Recital Season 2019 – 2020 After Riccardo Chailly opens the season with Tosca, continuing the cycle of works by Puccini, he will conduct his first Strauss opera, as well as the complete Beethoven symphonies.

[gramilano]

A pleasing new season at La Scala seems to tick all the right boxes, with half the programming dedicated to the Italian repertoire, some rarities, important international operas and a world premiere. The season will also mark the 40th Anniversary of Riccardo Chailly’s collaboration with the theatre, and the 95th birthday of Franco Zeffirelli.

Anna Netrebko, photo by Ruven Afanador

The 2017-2018 Season kicks off with Andrea Chénier on the traditional date, Milan’s Saint’s Day, 7 December. Chailly will conduct Anna Netrebko, who will be making her debut in the role of Maddalena di Coigny, alongside her husband Yusif Eyvazov who is already at work with Chailly on preparing the title role. Luca Salsi, Annalisa Stroppa and Mariana Pentcheva complete the cast. Long-time La Scala collaborator Margherita Palli will design the sets and i twill be directed by Mario Martone.

Federico Tiezzi’s successful production of Simon Boccanegra will be back with Leo Nucci, just a couple of weeks before his 76th birthday. Krassimira Stoyanova, after her phenomenally successful recital earlier this year, will sing Amelia, and Myung-Whun Chung will conduct.

John Fulljames’s Royal Opera House production of Orphée et Eurydice, again with the Hofesh Shechter Dance Company and Juan Diego Flórez. At La Scala, Christiane Karg will sing Eurydice with Michele Mariotti in the pit.

Chailly will conduct Don Pasquale. Davide Livermore’s new production will see Ambrogio Maestri working with Chailly for the first time, and Norina will be sung by Rosa Feola, with René Barbera (Ernesto) and Mattia Olivieri (Malatesta).

Another new production follows with Francesca da Rimini which hasn’t been seen at La Scala since 1959, with Magda Olivero and Mario del Monaco. David Pountney will direct and Fabio Luisi returns to La Scala to conduct. Maria José Siri, after her success singing Butterfly to open the current season, will be Francesca with Roberto Aronica as Paolo.

Lila De Nobili’s sumptuous designs for Aida will return to mark Zeffirelli’s 95th birthday. His classic and popular production will feature Stoyanova, Fabio Sartori who will alternate with Marcelo Álvarez, and Violeta Urmana. 87-year-old Nello Santi will conduct.

Schubert’s Fierrabras has never been performed at La Scala and Peter Stein’s Salzburg Festival production will see Daniel Harding conduct a cast which includes Anett Fritsch, Dorothea Röschmann, Markus Werba and Bernard Richter.

Deborah Warner’s Fidelio, which was Daniel Barenboim’s last season-opener before leaving La Scala, in 2014, returns with Simone Schneider as Leonore, Stuart Skelton as Florestan and Don Pizarro will be sung by Luca Pisaroni.

Sonia Yoncheva

At La Scala, on 17 October 1827, Bellini watched over the world premiere of his opera Il pirata. It hasn’t been performed at the theatre for 60 years, since Maria Callas gave her legendary performances. Now Sonya Yoncheva, Covent Garden’s recent Norma, bravely takes up the role. Christof Loy’s new production will be conducted by Riccardo Frizza. Piero Pretti and Nicola Alaimo are also in the cast.

Cherubini’s last opera, Alì Babà e i quaranta ladroni (Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves) will receive a staging from Liliana Cavani who will be working with students from La Scala’s prestigious vocal academy from January before the opera opens in September.

A new production by Sven-Eric Bechtolf of Verdi’s Ernani will be conducted by Ádám Fischer. A strong cast features Francesco Meli, Ailyn Pérez, Simone Piazzola and Ildar Abdrazakov.

Diego Fasolis makes a return to La Scala to conduct the orchestra on period instruments for Mozrt’s La finta giardiniera. It is the Glyndebourne Festival production by Frederic Wake-Walker. Many of the cast are currently singing in the current Don Giovanni revival: Kresimir Spicer, Hanna-Elisabeth Müller, Anett Fritsch, Bernard Richter, Lucia Cirillo, Giulia Semenzato, and Mattia Olivieri.

Patrice Chéreau’s last opera production, Strauss’s Elektra, was directed when he was already ill. Christoph von Dohnányi conducts this revival, and Ricarda Merbeth, Waltraud Meier, and Michael Volle are among the cast.

The season closes with the first opera written by Rumanian composer, György Kurtág. Fin de partie is based on the Samuel Beckett play. Kurtág will be 92 when it opens in November 2018. The cast are already working on the fiendishly difficult score. Frode Olsen, Leigh Melrose, Hilary Summers and Leonardo Cortellazzi are the brave but fortunate cast. Markus Stenz will conduct and the production will be by Pierre Audi.

The Recital Series features Michele Pertusi, Sonya Yoncheva, Diana Damrau, Anna Caterina Antonacci, Olga Peretyatko, Ildar Abdrazakov, and Michael Volle.
