Susanna und Figaro wollen heiraten. Graf Almaviva will Sex mit Susanna und beruft sich auf ein „Recht“ der ersten (Hochzeits-)Nacht. Die Gräfin trauert vergangenem Glück nach. Der junge, ziemlich genderfluide Cherubino hat Lust auf alles, und alles drängt sich zusammen an diesem „tollen Tag“. In der ersten ihrer drei epochalen Opernkollaborationen zeigen Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart und Lorenzo Da Ponte, was Menschen mit Menschen machen, ein lustvoll aberwitziges Spiel aus Intrigen und Gegenintrigen und Gegen-Gegenintrigen. Regisseur Evgeny Titov interessiert sich vor allem für die Machtfrage: „Wie weit geht einer, wenn man ihn nicht stoppt?“ Der neue Figaro der Bayerischen Staatsoper ist eine Bühne für ein junges prominentes Mozartensemble um den italienischen Dirigenten und Alte-Musik-Spezialisten Stefano Montanari.

Described by The New York Times as “one of America's finest artists and singers,” Frederica von Stade continues to be extolled as one of the music world's most beloved figures. She has enriched the world of classical music for three decades.  Her career has taken her to the stages of the world's great opera houses and concert halls. She began at the top, when she received a contract from Rudolf Bing during the Metropolitan Opera auditions, and since her debut in 1970 she has sung nearly all of her great roles with the Met.  We talked about her signature role, Mozart's Cherubino, her love of Broadway, her respect for Placido Domingo and their Merry Widow performances, and her recent recording, with Thomas Hampson, Richard Danielpour's Elegies, a tribute to her father whom she never met.

Gerne hätte ich berichtet, dass alles halb so wild ist; noch in der Pause war ich dieser Überzeugung. Burgtheaterdirektor Martin Kušej hat doch schon interessante Inszenierungen geliefert. Doch am Ende muss ich sagen, die vernichtenden Medienstimmen sind berechtigt. Die Verlegung ins Mafiamilieu ist in keiner einzigen Situation überzeugend. Das Herumfuchteln mit den Pistolen erregt kaum jemanden, schon gar nicht Susanne und Figaro oder das Publikum. Negativer Höhepunkt ist das Finale des 2.Aktes, wo alle alle mit gezogener Waffe bedrohen und dabei auch noch banales Rampentheater liefern. Dass alle statisch den Dirigenten angeschaut haben, hat nichts zur Präzision beigetragen. Es war ein Chaos. Der neue Mozartstil wird diese Mischung hoffentlich nicht werden. Ich bin überzeugt, der akkurate Nikolaus Harnoncourt würde sich dagegen verwehren, von Raphaël Pichon als Vorbild genannt zu werden. Die Abkehr von zwingenden Noten hin zur Möglichkeit eigener Verzierungen wurde kaum wahrgenommen und wenn, dann mit wenig originellen Figuren. Überflüssig war auch das Geklimper vom Hammerklavier während der überlangen Umbaupausen. Auch das ohne den geringsten Bezug zu Mozarts genialer Musik. Der Asiate, der neben mir gesessen ist, hat fast die ganze Zeit durchgeschlafen. Mehr ist zum Dirigat des Herrn Pichon nicht zu sagen. Gegen die Regie und den Dirigenten haben sich nur die beiden Damen zeitweilig durchsetzen können. Zu recht kam nach der Arie der Gräfin Jubel auf. Adriana Gonzáles gestaltete das Seelengemälde einer enttäuschten Ehefrau mit schöner Stimme. Auch Sabine Devieilhe als Susanne konnte mit der Rosenarie noch Festspielniveau erreichen. Andrè Schuen habe ich schon besser gehört, gerade weil der Graf Almaviva sicher nicht zu seinen besten Rollen gehört. Gesangstechnisch ist es sicher eine Herausforderung die große Arie auf einem Bein stehend zu singen. Da wird er von einer Nackerten angezogen. Sehr witzig!!, da kann man sich voll auf die Empörung des Grafen konzentrieren ?! . Krzysztof Baczyk singt den Figaro, von Rollengestaltung keine Rede. Italienisch ist nicht seine Muttersprache. Ansprechend ist noch Lea Desandre als Cherubino. Alle andern Sänger  können sich in dieser Inszenierung nicht entwickeln. Keine Personenregie, aber auch keine kleinen Ideen. Martin Kušej ist diesmal nichts eingefallen. Das sachkundige Publikum differenzierte beim Applaus deutlich und feierte Adriana Gonzàles und Sabine Devieilhe. Auch der Schussapplaus wäre wohl schnell vorbei gewesen, hätte man das Haus für Mozart nicht lange hermetisch abgeriegelt. Wertnote: 5,3

Son muchos los pasajes operísticos en los que un personaje dice adiós. Las razones pueden ser muy distintas: porque inicia un viaje, porque se muere, porque se despide de un amigo o amante… En la ópera abundan los adioses. En este programa y en algún otro vamos a recoger algunos de esos instantes estratégicos. En este programa reunimos algunos adioses muy valiosos: El esperado Adiós a la vida de Tosca, que aquí canta Miguel Fleta; el del Duque de Mantua y Gilda de Rigoletto (un adiós esperanzado), que está en las voces de Alfredo Kraus y Gianna d’Angelo; el de Fígaro a Cherubino cuando este parte, despedido por el Conde, al ejército, que entona Cesare Siepi; el de Violetta a su propia vida rememorando vivencias pasadas, en La traviata, que escuchamos a Maria Callas, y el del Marqués de Posa a don Carlo en Don Carlo, que se torna trágico cuando le pegan un tiro, y que delinea Fischer-Dieskau.

Episode 3: Kontratenorer vs kastratsangereJeg heter Astrid Kirschner, og dette er min podkast Barokkpodden!I dagens episode snakker jeg for første gang med en gjest, nemlig med den australske kontratenor-stjernen DAVID HANSEN. Vi sitter ikke på samme sted, men vi snakker sammen på Zoom – jeg i Oslo og han i Zürich. Han hjelper meg å få klarhet i en del spørsmål, for eksempel: Hvordan klarer han egentlig å synge så høyt at det låter som en kvinne? Og hva er egentlig forskjellen mellom en kontratenor og kastratsanger?David Hansen har bodd i Oslo siden 2007 og har brukt byen som base for sin internasjonale karriere som operasanger i den smale bransjen som kontratenor. Han har gjestet Den Norske Opera & Ballett i Oslo mange ganger, og har ellers sunget på operahus verden over. Han har bemerket seg i roller som Bertarido i Rodelinda ved Teatro Arriaga i Bilbao; Trinculo i The Tempest ved Santa Fe Opera; Orfeo i L'Orfeo ved Staatsoper i Berlin; Cherubino i Mozarts Figaros bryllup ved Teatro Verdi di Sassari; Farnace i Mitridate, re di Ponto ved La Monnaie i Brussel; Athamas i Händels Semele, også ved La Monnaie; Nerone i Monteverdis Poppeas kroning ved Boston Early Music Festival, Teatro Calderón og Victorian Opera; tittelrollen i Julius Cæsar ved Sächsische Staatsoper, Semperoper Dresden, Theater an der Wien og Teatro de la Maestranza de Sevilla.David Hansen er også en svært aktiv konsertsanger og har sunget under dirigenter som Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Sir Simon Rattle, René Jacobs, Marc Minkowski og Fabio Biondi, og med orkestre som Berlinfilharmonien, Les Musiciens du Louvre Grenoble og Concertgebouw, Amsterdam.I 2013 ga han ut platen Arias for Farinelli & Co., med Academia Montis Regalis og Alessandro De Marchi, og i 2018 kom hans innspilling One Charming Night (med Oslo Circles, LAWO) på markedet, begge til strålende internasjonale anmeldelser.Til hver episode av selve podkasten BAROKKPODDEN finnes det også en passende spilleliste med barokkmusikk på Spotify. Der kan du lytte til CD-innspillinger jeg anbefaler, og spillelisten til 3.episode er smekkfull av halsbrekkende italienske koloraturarier og vakre engelske sanger med dagens gjest - kontratenoren David Hansen!Søk den opp og kos deg med musikken!Her er linken til spillelisten:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4vZq4O9uDFIANYzd21JnGG?si=df1133a7635945b5&pt=a8ce533fa66b3fa7cc7712c18bb40cc7*** Musikkeksemplene brukt i 3.episode Kontratenorer & kastratsangere:Henry Purcell: Come, ye Sons of Art, Away (Strike the viol), David Hansen, Oslo Circles (SIMAX)Henry Purcell: Come all to me, fra Timon of Athens Z 632, David Hansen, Oslo Circles (SIMAX)***Takk til Fond for Lyd og Bilde som støtter prosjektet Barokkpodden!Photo cred: Lars Bryngelsson*** Disclaimer: In my podcast Barokkpodden! I talk about different aspects of baroque music, composers, instruments, historical context and much more, and it is my sincere wish to give my interested listeners and my concert audience a better and deeper understanding of baroque music. Several record companies have given me their permisson to use their recordings of baroque music for this project. Thank you very much! Some of the record companies have limited their permission to max 30 seconds of each music clips, others have allowed me to use music clips in full length. I'm a musician myself, and I certainly do not want to hurt any other musician's rights or copy right. I hope I can increase the love to and knowledge about baroque music with this project, but if you are a musician, and prefer not to be a part of this podcast, please let me know, then I will make the changes accordingly.Best wishes,Astrid Kirschnerasursula@online.no

Roberto Succo è conosciuto con molti nickname, tra cui Il Cherubino Nero. In Italia non è molto famoso, ma in Francia ha mietuto una serie di vittime in modo feroce e insensato, senza freni inibitori o empatia verso il prossimo, lascia una scia di sangue che passa dalla Svizzera e torna in Italia in un ultimo, disperato tentativo di fuga verso l'Africa, ma la legge ha il braccio più lungo e lo ferma.

DescriptionEver heard of the “pants role” aka “trouser roles” or “breeches parts” in opera? Well, this goes back centuries, with quite the backstory. Join me, as we take a minute to get the scoop!Fun FactWhy did Baroque audiences buy into women playing masculine heroic parts in opera? The most conceivable theory is that Baroque opera was not concerned with realism. Further, these parts were designed to showcase vocal virtuosity, as opposed to lending credence to the plot or character. About StevenSteven is a Canadian composer living in Toronto. He creates a range of works, with an emphasis on the short-form genre—his muse being to offer the listener both the darker and more satiric shades of human existence.

Wie eine Vorahnung der französischen Revolution wirkt Mozarts Oper. Und das mit einer Musik, die zugleich leichtfüßig und komplex ist. (Autor: Mercks)

But it wasn't fulfilling for me.”Lucia Lucas“There's so many people that would love to be a working artist where they make at least enough money to live and continue doing their art full time,” Lucas said of her decision to come out. “But it wasn't fulfilling for me.”Lucas chose the Staatstheater's splashy 2014 opera ball for the occasion. She made quite an entrance.“We were startled,” said Jan Linders, the company's deputy general artistic director. “She came fully dressed as a woman, and made it clear that she wanted to be addressed as Lucia from that day on.”Linders says after getting over the initial shock, the company grappled with what to do about their first female baritone.“There were many questions arising,” Linders said. “Where should be her dressing room? Should it be in the ladies or the gentlemen floor? How should she be addressed in program books? How could we convey this private change to directors that would cast her?”Lucas says the opera company ultimately decided not to renew her contract. (The company isn't commenting on that.) So, she threw herself into finding other work. She landed opera gigs with companies across Europe, performed in clubs and bars, and settled on pursuing a freelance career.Opera has a long history of gender play. Female singers have been masquerading as young men and boys in so-called “trouser roles” or “pants roles” for hundreds of years, like Cherubino in Mozart's “The Marriage of Figaro” and Octavian in Strauss' “Der Rosenkavalier.”But professional opportunities for transgender performers have been slow to come about. There are only very few singers currently getting mainstage work at opera houses around the world. The most prominent example, other than Lucas, is the Norwegian mezzo-soprano, Adrian Angelico, who identifies as male.Lucas says the compliments she often gets at auditions don't necessarily translate into contracts. So, she often dons fake facial hair at auditions to prove she can play male characters onstage.“A lot of people are really confused because they have ‘Ms. Lucia Lucas' on their paperwork as a baritone. But I'm presenting with a beard in masculine attire.”Lucia Lucas“A lot of people are really confused because they have ‘Ms. Lucia Lucas' on their paperwork as a baritone,” she said. “But I'm presenting with a beard in masculine attire.” Lucia Lucas, a transgender opera singer, often performs alpha male roles. “A lot of people are really confused because they have ‘Ms. Lucia Lucas' on their paperwork as a baritone,” she said. “But I'm presenting with a beard in masculine attire.” Credit: Johannes Kaplan Taking female hormones doesn't raise your voice. And Lucas made a conscious decision not to retrain hers to sing higher parts.“I don't know how long I would have to take off from my day job, which is singing baritone,” she said. “And I have work through 2022.”She's also suspicious of the reasons companies give — if they give any — for failing to follow through on auditions she's been promised, or dropping her from their roster.“Nobody is fired for being trans,” Lucas said. “They're fired for being 90 seconds late, or not complying with the dress code regulations.”While trans opera singers are only just starting to make headway in an industry steeped in tradition and not known for its forward-thinking ways, opera administrators are beginning to show interest in the possibilities of casting them.“The potential doors that this is now opening for trans singers is a very exciting step forward,” said Matthew Shilvock, the director general of the San Francisco Opera. He says trans singers have not yet come forward to audition for roles at his organization, one of the largest in the US. “I don't see it any different from us looking at any other singer. If the voice is right for the role and right for the house, I would gladly hire that person.”Tobias Picker, the artistic director at Tulsa Opera — and a composer — says he cast Lucas as Don Giovanni because he simply fell in love with her voice.“Lucia has her own sound,” said Picker, who is currently writing an opera based on David Ebershoff's 2000 novel about a transgender painter, “The Danish Girl,” with Lucas in the starring role. “It sparkles. It has flecks of light like gold.” Lucia Lucas stars as Wotan in "Die Walküre" with Theater Magdeburg.  Credit: Andreas Lander Though she says the visibility she's been getting lately has been helpful for her career, Lucas hopes the hoopla around transgender opera singers will eventually go away.She wants to continue to play baritone roles like Wotan and Don Giovanni, without anyone making a big deal of the fact that she's a woman.“I had a theater director in Germany say, ‘Oh my gosh, this trans thing, it's hot right now,'” she said. “I don't want that. I want it to be not a thing.”

Mezzo-soprano Emily Fons is back with us in the trouser role of Cherubino for The Marriage of Figaro. She was last with us as Zerlina in Mozart's Don Giovanni, and her contribution to that show was simply fantastic! In this interview with Dr. Nic she talks about the nature of trouser roles (for those of us who don't know what that is or who need a 'brush up'!), about the character of Cherubino and about her experience with playing this fun part. This is an absolutely delightful interview, so tune in and enjoy!

The PHANNNNTOM OF THE OPERA IS HERE inside our mics *organ theme*...we know you sang it. Join the Broadway Babies in part two of the MEGA musical that everyone thinks is an opera! In this segment, Alex and Daisha talk about how Phantom of the Opera uses elements of actual opera on the stage and in the music, and we discuss our favorite elements of the musical. We also chat about the lucrativeness of the franchise and wrap it up with our pros and cons.

Show Notes: Learn about the Palais Garnier — the real Parisian opera house that inspired “Phantom of the Opera” and that Hal Prince visited Lindsey Ellis’ history lesson about the character of the Phantom post-ALW Another session of the infernal court in Musical Hell: the movie version of “Phantom of the Opera” “Home” from “Phantom” by Maury Yeston and Arthur Kopit Snippets of opera ALW probably drew inspiration from: Hannibal seems to be based on Aida’s extra-ness. General exoticism and grand staging and costumes in opera. The Il Muto scenes Laughing choruses in opera such as Verdi’s Falstaff and Mein Herr Marquis from Die Fledermaus. A young girl dressed as a cheeky boy or young man is pretty standard. A pretty standard example this scene was taken from is The Marriage of Figaro, and opera by Mozart with a silly and smitten young man named Cherubino and the cunning Countess he is in love with. Phantom sort of combines Susanna and Cherubino and makes it his own.

Matteo Pais, coach and music coordinator of the Scuola dell'opera italiana in Bologna, joins us this week to talk about two arias from Le nozze di Figaro, Susanna's 4th act aria "Deh, vieni, non tardar" and Cherubino's first aria "Non so più cosa son". We concentrate on Rs in every position, the letter G and what to do when there are millions of vowels in a row. The libretto for Le nozze di Figaro is can be found at the Opera Guide website here--sometimes it defaults to the main entry page, so you may have to click on Libretto and then on the letter "I" for Italian. "Deh, vieni, non tardar" is almost at the end, Recit and Aria Nr. 28, while Cherubino's aria is close to the beginning, Aria Nr. 6. Le nozze di Figaro is based on Pierre Beaumarchais' Le mariage de Figaro, the second in a trilogy of plays (which starts with Le Barbier de Séville). The librettist for Mozart's opera, Lorenzo da Ponte led a very colorful life that's worth looking into as well!
