La juventud es un invento reciente. También la infancia, pero ese es otro tema. Hablamos de juventud con Kokoshca, la banda de Pamplona está de gira con su octavo disco, que se llama así, La juventud. Charlamos sobre la idea de que la juventud relacionada con la ilusión no se debería perder nunca. La juventud, en realidad, está relacionada con la vida. Si estamos vivos, realmente vivos, cuestionándonos las cosas, entonces quizá seremos siempre jóvenes. Seguimos con Use Lahoz, que nos trae El jardín contra el tiempo, de Olivia Laing. El Gran Teatre del Liceu de Barcelona recupera La traviata, de Giuseppe Verdi, en la versión de David McVicar, con un elenco formado por la soprano Nadine Sierra, el tenor Javier Camarena y el barítono Artur Rucinski que se podrá ver en el coliseo lírico hasta el 2 de febrero en doce funciones.Y terminamos con Travy, la obra de teatro que ha hecho a Oriol Pla saltar a la dirección teatral. Lleva un tiempo rodando en Barcelona y llega ahora al teatro madrileño.Escuchar audio

Ameerika soprani ooperialbumil kõlavad aariad Verdi surematust "La Traviatast", Gounod imelisest armastusloost "Romeo ja Julia" ning Donizetti traagilisest "Lucia di Lammermoorist". Lauljatariga koos musitseerib RAI Sümfooniaorkester Riccardo Frizza juhatusel.

Since she was a child, opera sensation Nadine Sierra has wanted to sing opera. Now well beyond her wildest dreams, Nadine stands at the top of the younger generation of star sopranos, as evidenced by her latest album Made for Opera from Deutsche Grammophon records. In this conversation with WGTE's Brad Cresswell, Nadine recounts her family life growing up, the inspirations which fuel her personal and professional life, and how she identifies with each of the three women she portrays on the album: Verdi's Violetta, Donizetti's Lucia, and Gounod's Juliette. Nadine also talks about the modernized production of Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor which (at the time of this interview) she is singing at the Metropolitan Opera. Listeners will have the opportunity to see that production on Saturday May 21st, 2022, when it is broadcast to theaters as part of the Met in HD series.

Nadine Sierra — Made for Opera (DG) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Nadine Sierra by “My grandmother was born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal. She had a beautiful voice and always loved music, especially classical and opera,” soprano Nadine Sierra said. “She wanted to become an opera singer, but my great-grandfather didn't allow her to pursue any kind of career. My whole life has been prepared and made for opera.” Sierra dedicates her latest recording, Made for Opera, to her grandmother. It explores the operatic heroines that include Lucia from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, Juliette from Gounod's Romeo and Juliet and Violetta from Verdi's La Traviata, who all had little control over their own destiny.  “We find that female roles played by women in opera are about women that cannot make decisions for themselves despite being these iconic figures. These are also women who are in a social prison. My grandmother grew up in that social prison. Today I have the power and the privilege to choose my destiny.” Tell us why you're careful about choosing a role at the right point in your career. “I didn't start to sing Violetta until recently. I felt that in my own life I had not experienced enough to play this character as believably as possible. I felt I needed to live a few more years in order to understand her.” Tell us about the story and sections you've chosen to highlight on this recording from La Traviata. “I decided to showcase Violetta in Act One and Three. In Act One she has her famous aria starting from ‘È Strano! È Strano' and ending with ‘Sempre Libera.' In the aria she meets Alfredo for the first time, and he tells her that he's in love with her. “I also highlight her last aria, where she's dying. Alfredo has a sister and the more time he spends with Violeta ruins his sister's reputation and her possibility of marrying into a good family. So, Violetta makes the sacrifice. She lies to Alfredo telling him she's not in love with him anymore and she can't be with him. She sacrifices herself for another woman's love, which I love about Violetta. She's a special and empathetic character.” How did working with a woman director give you a different perspective on Donizetti's character Lucia? “This particular female director and I have both experienced things in our personal lives that are similar. Whether it be in a relationship or even a situation with a family member, we were able to better communicate what we wanted with the audience about Lucia.” To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Many sopranos have taken the role, including, Maria Callas, Joan Sutherland, Renata Scotto, Lisette Oropesa and the current Lucia, Nadine Sierra. On today's episode of The Metropolitan Opera Guild Podcast, we have lecturer Tanisha Mitchell discussing the inner workings of this operatic staple.

How does one actually become an opera singer? Is it enough to be able to sing at the highest level? In the new DG Podcast episode, Sarah Willis talks with Nadine Sierra, who is hailed as one of the most promising young talents in opera. The American soprano reflects on the multifaceted challenges of being a modern opera diva and, of course, about her new album "Made for Opera," on which she presents three of the most powerful female roles of the 19th century.

Mit ihrem edlen Timbre und ihrem dichten Legato entfacht Nadine Sierra auf "Made for Opera" einen unwiderstehlichen Sog.

The American soprano Nadine Sierra's second album for DG, 'Made for Opera', focuses on three timeless operatic heroines, Verdi's Violetta in La traviata, Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor and Gounod's Juliette from Roméo et Juliette. She's partnered by the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI conducted by Riccardo Frizza.  Gramophone Podcasts are given in association with Wigmore Hall.  James Jolly caught up with Nadine Sierra by Zoom to talk about the album and her relationship with these three remarkable operatic women.

Nadine Sierra's childhood intuition – that she was born to sing opera – has proved correct in every way and is reflected in the title of her second solo album, Made for Opera. The dramatic presence, searing passion, and technical brilliance for which the American lyric soprano regularly scores rave reviews are captured in this new album, which trains the spotlight on three of the most demanding roles in the repertoire – Verdi's Violetta, Donizetti's Lucia, and Gounod's Juliette. Recorded with the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai and Capella Cracoviensis under Riccardo Frizza, the album not only reflects Nadine Sierra's command of bel canto technique and rich range of vocal colors but also documents her insights into the psychology of the ill-starred heroines of La traviata, Lucia di Lammermoor and Roméo et Juliette.Made for Opera TracklistVerdi – La traviata / Act 1   1.

En Mis Palabras artists share their thoughts and experiences on racially accurate casting, representation in the performing arts and the importance of telling diverse stories on the operatic stage in today’s episode. Guests include Mica Dominguez-Robinson, who originated the leading role of Ana Maria, and brand-new cast members Daniela Guzmán-Égüez (Ana Maria) and Armando Contreras (Esteban). Hosted by CCO Marketing Content Manager and Opera Central Producer Margaret Siegrist. Central City Opera commissioned our bilingual, one-act opera En Mis Palabras/In My Own Words more than 15 years ago, with the goal of acknowledging the 1/5 Latino population here in Colorado. The opera tackles themes of immigration, family and coming of age and is performed regularly as a part of year-round education and community engagement programming. Over 19,000 people have seen it since its 2006 premiere. Central City Opera committed to casting the lead role of Ana Maria only with LatinX artists since the opera was commissioned, and that practice has been honored to this day. This third and final conversation focused on En Mis Palabras and diversity, equity and inclusion in the arts amplifies the voices of the artists of color who perform in the program!   Settle in for coffee and conversation with us.

Check out the links below for more information: Jessye Norman, opera singer Leontyne Price, opera singer Nadine Sierra, opera singer Pretty Yende, opera singer Frontiers: Fort Worth Opera Libretto Workshop Lyric Opera of Kansas City   Our host mentioned a story about the famously voluptuous opera singer Luisa Tetrazzini (1871–1940) playing a character who was meant to be wasting away with consumption (tuberculosis) as a testament to the lack of importance placed on type-casting during different eras of opera history.    Armando talked about preference against bilingual communication in United States’ schools during the ‘70s and ‘80s that influenced the experiences of his family members. Read more about the “English-only Movement” in education.   Dani talks about “zarzuela,” a Spanish lyric-dramatic genre that alternates between spoken and sung scenes, the latter incorporating operatic and popular songs, as well as dance.”   Shout out to the educators and educational institutions referenced in this episode: Denver School of the Arts University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music Vinson Cole, Armando’s voice teacher   This episode features musical excerpts from our 2008 archival recording of En Mis Palabras.

You’ve probably been there: in love for the first time and enchanted by the very sound of your sweetheart’s name. The problem for Gilda in Verdi’s Rigoletto is that her new love isn’t who he says he is. The worst will come (it’s opera), but for a few brief moments in Act I, Gilda’s innocence sweeps you away. She’s young and head over heels and obsessing over the “caro nome,” the “dear name” of her new love.  In this episode, host Rhiannon Giddens and her guests consider the dizzying thrill of your first love, Verdi’s brilliant powers of orchestration and why Gilda’s infatuation rings so true even today. You’ll hear soprano Nadine Sierra reminisce about her own formative experiences and then fall in love with the so-called “Gualtier Maldè” onstage at the Metropolitan Opera. The Guests Before Nadine Sierra could be accurately described as one of the most talented young artists in opera, she was a self-described “opera nerd.” She had a protective family – like Gilda – but that couldn’t stop her from secretly riding to high school in her boyfriend’s car. Paul Thomason has combined his lifelong passion for music, colorful storytelling skills and a knack for mid-century slang to become one of the most insightful writers and lecturers on opera. He’s written for far too many publications to list. Carl Pickhardt is a psychologist and author who has spent decades helping parents and children navigate the challenges of adolescence. His most recent book is titled Who Stole My Child? Parenting Through the Four Stages of Adolescence. 

Idomeneo is considered Mozart's first "mature" opera — the first in which he displays his incredible talent as a vocal and dramatic composer. "Mature" also fittingly describes the central themes of the work, which include parental love, self-sacrifice, and the human struggle against the machinations of gods and fate. In light of the fact that Mozart was only 24 when he composed Idomeneo, his insight into the timeless questions we face is all the more striking. World-renowned mezzo-soprano Alice Coote joins host Merrin Lazyan to explore the themes of love and fate through the lens of Coote's character, Idamante. She also speaks candidly about the perils of dressing (and undressing) for a trouser role. Quartet from Act III (Matthew Polenzani, Alice Coote, Nadine Sierra, Elza van den Heever):  This episode features excerpts from the following albums: Mozart: Idomeneo (Deutsche Grammophon, 1996)— Plácido Domingo, tenor; Cecilia Bartoli, mezzo-soprano; Heidi Grant Murphy, soprano; Carol Vaness, soprano; The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus conducted by James Levine Handel: The Choice of Hercules (Hyperion, 2001)— Alice Coote, mezzo-soprano; The King's Consort conducted by Robert King
