Das man in achtunddreißig Dienstjahren eine Menge erlebt, ist klar. Aber dass man beispielsweise kurz vor Mauerfall als Protagonistin einer politischen Inszenierung des "Fidelio" auf der Bühne steht, die unverhohlen den DDR-Staat anprangert oder zur Millenniums-Operettenvorstellung einen Buhorkan über sich ergehen lassen muss, weil der Regisseur mal wieder verrückte Ideen hatte und man plötzlich Teil einer Skandalinszenierung geworden ist, ist schon außergewöhnlich. Zum Glück gibt es aber auch genug herzerwärmende Momente, an die sich Sabine Brohm mit strahlenden Augen erinnert. Da sind beispielsweise ihre Premieren als Susanna unter Leitung von Peter Schreier, noch als Mitglied des Opernstudios, oder auch die Antonia, Pamina, Donna Elvira und Marie in der "Verkauften Braut", denen sie ihren lyrisch-vollmundigen Sopran geliehen hat. Nach Abstechern in die leichte Muse ist sie heute die "Komische Alte", wie sie augenzwinkernd sagt. So wurde aus der einstigen Susanna die Haushälterin Marcellina, aus dem Gretelchen deren eigene Mutter und aus der Verkauften Braut die Ludmilla. Mit Freude steht sie heut aber dennoch noch auf der Bühne, auch ohne die tragenden Partien zu verkörpern. Es war mir eine große Freude, mit dieser wunderbaren Kollegin und Vollblutkünstlerin über das spannende Leben einer Ensemblesängerin eines so bedeutenden Opernhauses wie der Semperoper Dresden zu plaudern. Ihnen und euch auch viel Freude bei "Parlando" mit der Sopranistin Sabrine Brohm!

Jan og Henrik snakker om Mafiaen det er osse mig filmen, fra 1974. Kronologisk gennemgang af filmen. www.janoghenrik.dk/ www.henrikogjan.dk/ "Viffer" Hansen (Dirch Passer) er blevet medlem af "familien" og er faldet godt til i den italienske mafia. Donna Elvira (Jytte Abildstrøm) Luigis datter, har et godt øje til "Viffer" og Luigi er ikke uvenlig stemt over for forholdet. Tilbage i Danmark laver han et vellykket kup. Han sælger Rundetårn til oliesheiken Abdul (Preben Mahrt) for 10 millioner dollars. Don Luigi's danske mafiaforbindelse, Emilio Costello (Poul Glargaard), fortæller "Viffer", at Luigi er meget tilfreds og at en belønning venter ham. Ikke penge, men Donna Elvira. Det er ikke "Viffers" hensigt at aflevere pengene, så han opsøger sin gamle ven Valde Sørensen (Preben Kaas), som har et trykkeri. Valde har før fusket med falskmøntneri, så han laver 10 millioner dollars i store sedler. De aftaler at de skal bytte tasker i lufthavnen, hvilket også lykkes for dem. Under turen til Italien er "Viffer" under konstant bevogtning. Vel ankommen får han sin belønning - Donna Elvira. Hun er skøn, men har en stemme, der kan få en mand til at flygte. Det lykkes også "Viffer". Samtidig i Danmark søger Abdul hjælp hos en billig smågangster og smugler, Olfert (Axel Strøby). Han vil betale ham 2 millioner for at skaffe ham, hans penge tilbage og dermed få oprejsning for den tort, som "Viffer" har tilføjet ham. "Viffer" er vendt tilbage til Danmark og han tager ind til Valde for at hente pengene fra kuppet. Han tyr igen til en af sine utallige forklædninger for at undgå sine forfølgere. Under flugten bliver han indlagt på den lukkede afdeling hos den gale overlæge Gudmund Brikse (Ulf Pilgaard) med akut hukommelsestab. Under opholdet lykkes det ham at kopiere et billede til en værdi af 2 millioner. Under en del turmult lykkes det ham at flygte. Don Luigi og Donna Elvira er kommet til Danmark for at kræve "Viffer" til regnskab for brudt ægteskabsløfte - enten Donna Elvira for livstid - eller !!!! Tekst fra Danskefilm.dk

One of my very favorite singers, the Polish soprano Teresa Żylis-Gara, died on Saturday 28 August at the age of 91. I had been planning a birthday episode dedicated to her next January, but instead I present a heartfelt tribute in memoriam. Over a long career and as her voice developed, Żylis-Gara moved deftly and skillfully from performances of Baroque music through French, Russian, Verdi, and Puccini and even verismo heroines, always with her trademark vocal glamour, technical acuity and musical refinement. I offer live and studio examples of this under-recorded artist, a favorite at the Metropolitan Opera between 1968 and 1984, including early Monteverdi, Bach, and Handel, moving through her career-making assumption of Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni and touching also on her recital work, and concluding with her definitive performances of Desdemona in Otello and Richard Strauss's Vier letzte Lieder. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” Occasional guests from the “business” (singers, conductors, composers, coaches, and teachers) lend their distinctive insights. At Countermelody's core is the interaction between singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Today I am talking to soprano Henriikka Gröndahl. In our chat we discuss how career trajectories can change over time and the possible influence of relationships and parenthood on negotiating a singing career. Henriikka Gröndahl is a versatile lyric soprano with one foot firmly in the chorus of the Royal Opera House in Stockholm, and the other foot happily freelancing. Her career began with a boom at the Theatre Royal, Glasgow in 2004, when she stepped in as the cover of Mimì in La Bohème. She sang a total of 11 performances of it for Scottish Opera – both at the Theatre Royal in Glasgow and at the Edinburgh Festival Theatre. During her first years out of college, she also sang Pamina for British Youth Opera and Papagena (covering Pamina) for Garsington Opera, followed by a Pamina , Nannetta, Musetta and Julia at Gothenburg Opera in Sweden, Musetta and Princesse at the Royal Opera in Sweden and Fünfte Magd at Liceu in Barcelona, Fiordiligi for Samling Opera and Donna Elvira at Scottish Opera. She has since then stepped in at short notice to sing Liù at Gothenburg opera, Jorun at Vadstena Summer Academy and Olympia/Giulietta/Antonia/ at Folkoperan, where she later also performed Liù. Her latest role was Euredice (Gluck) at Norrlandsoperan, as well as small obscure solo bits and pieces at the Royal Opera in Stockholm. Her career has led her to sing in many countries around Europe, and she frequently performs at chamber music festivals and oratorios, but is nowadays also old enough to engage in other non music related activities like hiking, paddling, hanging out with friends and family, painting, throwing dinner parties and passionately enjoying life!www.henriikkagrondahl.com

American soprano Alyson Cambridge is one of the most diverse and compelling vocal artists on the scene today. She is praised for her “powerful, clear voice” by The New York Times, hailed by critics for her “radiant, vocally assured, dramatically subtle and artistically imaginative” performances (Washington Post), and celebrated for her “sultry and seductive readings” (Opera News).

Her most recent album, “Sisters In Song”, is a unique compilation of opera, art songs, and African-American spiritual duets with fellow soprano Nicole Cabell, and was an Opera News 'Critic's Choice' for 2019. alysoncambridge.comAs guitarist, producer, composer and/or music director, Tony Bruno has worked with Rihanna, Joan Jett, Kanye West, Enrique Iglesias, Mandy Moore, Donna Summer, INXS, Colin Hay among many other major artists.

Don Giovanni is an opera in two acts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It debuted in Prague in 1787. Its based on the legend of Don Juan, a Spanish lothario who was obsessed with the conquest of women. The opera tells the story of Don Giovanni, his man-servant Leporello, Donna Elvira his scorned lover, Donna Anna and Don Ottavio - a young engaged couple, and the Commendatore - Donna Anna's father who is slain by Don Giovanni. Mozart's incredible score paired with a lively libretto by Lorenzo di Ponte make Don Giovanni one of the most performed operas in the world.

Anna Petrowna ist keine Donna Elvira in der Tradition von Molières „Don Juan”, sondern ‘Platonow’ in Frauengestalt. Eine Frau mit einer eigenen Moral, die auf jede gesellschaftliche Konvention pfeift. Eine Frau, die unverhohlen physisches Verlangen zeigt, ohne die geringste Spur ihrer Würde zu verlieren. Die sich jeden Mann nimmt, den sie begehrt, wann und wo immer sie will. Anna ist für die Männer, was Platonow für die Frauen ist...
