Sie gehört zu den berühmtesten komischen Opern: "La fille du régiment" von Gaetano Donizetti. Am 22. Dezember feiert sie in einer Neuproduktion an der Bayerischen Staatsoper Premiere - mit Pretty Yende in der Titelrolle.

Interpreten: Jonas Kaufmann uvm. Label: Sony ClassicalEAN: 198028067126 „Ich kriege von Puccini nie genug. Ich bin heute von seiner Musik genauso fasziniert, wie damals als Kind.“ Sagt Jonas Kaufmann über die Opernmusik von Giacomo Puccini. Mitreißende Liebesduette mit einer herausragenden Sängerinnenbesetzung gibt es auf Puccini: Love Affairs zu hören, und zwei der Arienklassiker aus Puccinis Feder schlechthin. Michael Gmasz hat wieder genauer hingehört. Neun Jahre, nachdem sich Jonas Kaufmann mit „Nessun Dorma“ für Sony erstmals mit Puccini ins Studio begeben hat, ist nun, anlässlich des bevorstehenden 100. Todestages des großen italienischen Opernkomponisten, Kaufmanns zweites Puccini Album erschienen. Auf Love Affairs geht er den Liebesgeschichten der unterschiedlichsten Opernpaarungen bei Puccini nach – von Manon und Des Grieux über Butterfly und Pinkerton bis hin zu Minnie und Dick Johnson in La fanciulla del West. An der Seite Kaufmanns sind hier die gefragtesten Sängerinnen ihres Faches zu hören, Anna Netrebko, Pretty Yende, Sonya Yoncheva, Malin Byström, Maria Agresta und Asmik Grigorian. Nach einigen Ausflügen in andere Genres, denen ich zugegeben teilweise sehr kritisch gegenüber gestanden bin, kehrt Jonas Kaufmann mit dieser CD wieder zurück zur großen Oper. Er liebt, seit einer Butterfly Familienaufführung in seiner Kindheit, die Musik Puccinis und die Musik Puccinis scheint Kaufmann zu lieben. Sein baritonales Timbre schmiegt sich perfekt an die jeweiligen Arien und Duette, seien sie lyrisch verliebt oder dramatisch aufregend. Jonas Kaufmann ist hier bestens bei Stimme, stemmt Spitzentöne mit Lockerheit und ausgesprochen obertonreich. Und die Auswahl an Sängerinnen an seiner Seite? Was soll man dazu sagen. Viel besser geht in unseren Tagen gar nicht. In Sachen Italianitá bringt das Orchestra del Teatro Communale die Bologna unter Asher Fish in den kurzen Orchesterzwischenspielen immer wieder ordentlich Schwung ins Geschehen. (mg)

On today's episode of the Weird and Wonderful, we tap into the rich history of Opera music in South Africa. From its early roots intertwined with colonial influences to it blossoming as a vibrant expression of cultural identity. This genre has has gifted us with artists such as Pretty Yende and Levy Sekgapane, who lead opera productions on some of the most prestigious stages globally. Are you a fan of Opera music? Tell me why do you love it so much? What are thoughts on the Africanisation of this genre? To unpack this we are joined by Wayne Muller,  A research affiliate at the Africa Open Institute for Music, Research and Innovation at Stellenbosch University who has done research on the performance history of opera in Cape Town. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Born in South Africa during apartheid, Pretty Yende grew up singing hymns with her grandmother on the way to church. This past May she dazzled Westminster Abbey at the coronation of King Charles, cementing her status as one of the world's most sought-after sopranos. Yende says her journey is proof that nothing is impossible. Back in Paris for "The Tales of Hoffman" at the Opéra Bastille, she spoke to Alison Sargent about the joys of playing a doll, her love of singing in French and why "there's nothing as cool as opera".

South African opera star Pretty Yende is performing her biggest gig yet at the Coronation. She was personally selected by the King to sing at the service in Westminster Abbey. Growing up in the small rural town of Mpumalanga, Yende's passion for opera began when she saw a British Airways advertisement featuring the Flower Duet by Delibes. She asked her teacher about it, who advised her to join the school choir. Abandoning her initial plans to become an accountant, Pretty Yende went on to study at La Scala in Milan before making her Metropolitan Opera debut in New York in 2013, in the role of Adèle in Rossini's Le Comte Ory. A last-minute substitute, Yende had only weeks to prepare for the part. She tripped as she went out on stage, but picked herself up and carried on, going on to receive a standing ovation. Mark Coles talks to family and friends about one of the rising stars of opera. Credits: Title: I Feel Pretty (from the musical West Side Story) Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Music by Leonard Bernstein.

When Pretty Yende graces you with her radiant presence and magnificent voice on stage, "your soul and my soul meet, and we are never the same." In this moving and thought-provoking conversation with Gramophone's James Jolly, the South African soprano talks about the "supernatural" encounter with Delibes that inspired her to pursue her opera career; the special universal language of music that bonds artist and listener together irrevocably; coming to bel canto repertoire and learning to believe in her talent; the challenge of leaving characters behind when the curtain falls; why English is the hardest language to sing in; the roles she looks forward to playing one day; and much, much more! Presented with the generous support of Madame Aline Foriel-Destezet.

Opera luminary Joyce DiDonato joins us for a conversation about the star-studded album Hopes and Dreams: The Lullaby Project. An outgrowth of Carnegie Hall's Lullaby Project – which pairs pregnant women and new mothers with professional artists to write and sing personal lullabies for their babies – the recording includes contributions from Fiona Apple, the Brentano String Quartet, Lawrence Brownlee, Rosanne Cash, Joyce DiDonato, Janice Freeman, Rhiannon Giddens, Angélique Kidjo, Patti LuPone, Natalie Merchant, Dianne Reeves, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Pretty Yende, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

South African soprano Pretty Yende has returned to the Royal Opera House as Violetta in Verdi's classic opera, La traviata. Since making her professional operatic debut at the Latvian National Theatre as Micaela in Carmen, she has been seen at nearly all of the major theaters of the world.

A modern fairy-tale. Born in in the small town of Piet Retief, South African soprano Pretty Yende has risen to the top of the opera world with unparalleled speed. Listen to this in-depth conversation with host Kenneth Overton. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blackopera/support

Chances are, you know the overture to The Barber of Seville (maybe from Bugs Bunny?!) but Gioachino Rossini’s most famous opera is more than a comedic romp. Embedded in the topsy-turvy tale of young love and silly disguises, there is a story of forced marriage and a woman’s determination to live a life of her choosing.  We meet the heroine Rosina for the first time in the aria “Una voce poco fa,” in which she declares that while she may seem sweet and innocent, she is really not someone to be messed with. Host Rhiannon Giddens and her guests explore the courage it takes to live life on your own terms and the way this almost absurd story pulled from a centuries-old novel still resonates today. You’ll hear how one guest has her own escape-from-a-forced-marriage story that uncannily matches Rosina’s.The Guests: Soprano Pretty Yende first sang the role of Rosina in Norway in 2014, and it’s since become one of her favorite roles. She loves playing Rosina because the character is fun, witty, and unlike so many operatic heroines, she gets to hit all the high notes and live happily ever after. Conductor James Conlon is Music Director of the Los Angeles Opera. He first heard The Barber of Seville when he was 11 years old and fell in love on the spot. Later that summer, he made his debut as director, producer, and Count Almaviva in his friend’s garage, with a very appreciative audience lined up in the driveway. Activist Jasvinder Sanghera is a survivor of forced marriage. She has spent the last four decades advocating for women, children, and men silenced by domestic abuse and forced marriages, and founded the award-winning charity Karma Nirvana in 1993.

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. Text PALABRAS to 20123, and find great deals on over 400 coffees roasted to order and shipped to you by the bag from the nation’s best roasters. A portion of all purchases goes to Central City Opera thanks to our partners at Eat4Art.   A note on En Mis Palabras personnel and casting: “Touring artists,” a term you heard during the interview, refers to the singers, instrumentalists and production staff who perform as part of our year-round education programs. Most shows, including En Mis Palabras, are cast with multiple artists in each role so that Central City Opera is able to best serve our communities from a scheduling perspective. The artists you’ll meet in these episodes are just a few of the many current and past cast members of the show!   What are Mica, Dani and Armando up to in the near future?

Mica looks forward to performing the following roles in postponed productions: Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, the “Day by Day” singer in Godspell, ensemble in Sweeney Todd and Bright Star and returning as a featured singer in the Cirque Dreams National Tour.   Mica talks about a couple momentous moments for inclusive casting in musical theater: Brittney Johnson Makes History as Broadway's First Glinda of Color in Wicked Broadway's Phantom of the Opera Announces First Asian-American Christine   Many performers of color and organizations championing diversity, equity and inclusion were mentioned in the episode. 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.

durée : 00:05:21 - Classic & Co - par : Anna Sigalevitch - La Traviata de Verdi avait ouvert la saison au Palais Garnier à Paris dans la production mise en scène par Simon Stone, dirigée par Michele Mariotti avec Pretty Yende et Benjamin Bernheim. C'est un spectacle qu'on peut voir en ligne jusqu'au 9 novembre.

O setor cultural global usa de muita criatividade para sair da paralisia imposta pela epidemia do coronavírus. O universo digital foi o terreno propício para essas invenções. As lives de artistas são um sucesso, mas iniciativas de instituições mais tradicionais e elitistas, como a tricentenária Opéra de Paris, ajudaram e ajudam a animar os longos dias de quarentena.  Opéra de Paris, que já tinha tido um início de temporada complicado por causa da greve contra a reforma da Previdência na França, foi obrigada com o confinamento no país, em 17 de março, a suspender todos os espetáculos previstos até julho. As famosas salas do Palácio Garnier e Bastilha ficarão fechadas até setembro, início da nova temporada. Os prejuízos são enormes, mas a Ópera National de Paris, uma instituição pública, aproveitou esse momento para se reinventar. Ela já tinha um projeto original com a realização de vídeos voltado exclusivamente para a internet chamado de “3ème Scène” (Terceiro palco). Mas com a crise do coronavírus redinamizou seu site na internet, reformou suas páginas nas redes sociais, e se abriu para o mundo, mostrando que, mesmo isolados, seus artistas continuam a trabalhar. Momentos do confinamento vividos pelos dançarinos e cantores líricos foram filmados e compartilhados. O vídeo “Dire merci” (dizer obrigado), realizado para agradecer os profissionais de saúde que lutam na linha de frente contra a Covid-19, foi postado em 16 de abril e viralizou. A montagem, assinada pelo cineasta Cédric Klapisch, mostra os bailarinos treinando em casa, sob a cadência da expressiva Romeo e Julieta, de Prokofiev, interpretada pela Orquestra da Ópera Nacional de Paris. Outros vídeos, postados semanalmente, propõem entrevistas ou perfis dos artistas da casa, que também dão aulas de balé clássico e de canto remotas. A ideia é fazer coisas simples para que mesmo amadores possam acompanhar os cursos, em francês. Espetáculos da temporada Mas a principal oferta da Ópera de Paris durante a quarentena é a disponibilibilização integral de espetáculos de dança e ópera da temporada. A cada semana, um novo espetáculo, filmado em parceria com o canal público France TV, é postado e disponível no mundo inteiro durante sete dias. A iniciativa permite que espectadores assíduos, como o professor de balé Marcos Verzani, brasileiro radicado em Paris há 30 anos, possam assistir aos espetáculos cancelados. Para ele, a oferta agrega potencialmente um público muito mais amplo e democratiza a oferta cultural, principalmente para quem não mora em Paris. “A Ópera, que é uma instituição difícil de aceitar mudanças, foi obrigada a se reiventar (...) Tem esse mito que os espetáculos da Ópera são impraticáveis, mas para quem mora aqui em Paris, que é o nosso caso, todo mundo que quer, a partir de € 10, € 20, consegue entrar. O grande lado positivo é justamente para as pessoas que não moram aqui. Que normalmente teriam que vir, pagar um hotel, transporte para poder chegar e ter acesso. Nesse sentido, é uma democratização muito bem-vinda”, diz Verzani. Até o momento, mais de 2,5 milhões de internautas já assistiram os vídeos, segundo a Ópera de Paris. Os espetáculos são filmados para serem, normalmente, exibidos em sessões especiais em salas de cinema. A qualidade das montagens e das filmagens dos vídeos disponibilizadas no site operadeparis.fr é elogiada por Marcos Verzani. “Eu tenho muitos alunos que preferem ir assistir no cinema do que estar num lugar não muito favorável na plateia da Ópera. Eu acho que isso também é uma bela maneira de permitir às pessoas que nunca viram, que nunca puderam ir, de ter uma ideia pelo menos do que acontece nessas grandes casas de produção de dança e de ópera.” Aproximação com o público Outro lado positivo apontado pelo professor da Academia de Dança de Montparnasse é a aproximação que os vídeos permitem entre os artistas e o público. “Cada dia um oferece uma entrevista, uma aula. É uma maneira de personalizar as pessoas que fazem parte dessa instituição”. No entanto, Marcos Verzani tem algumas reservas sobre as aulas remotas de balé propostas pelos primeiros bailarinos. “Aula é uma coisa que tem uma relação pessoal, um contato físico necessário entre o professor e o aluno para ver de que maneira você pode fazer evoluir o trabalho. Essas aulas de vídeo podem te dar a impressão que você é capaz de tudo e não tem ninguém para te dizer o contrário, sobretudo em se tratando de amadores. Há um risco muito grande que é o de dar a ilusão de que o amador é capaz de fazer coisas que ele ainda não está preparado para fazer”, alerta. Como todas as outras escolas de dança da França, a Academia de Dança de Montparnasse está fechada desde meados de março e reabre em setembro, mesmo que o governo tenha autorizado a retomada das atividades a partir de 22 de junho. “Foi terrível, sobretudo no início. De um dia para o outro, todo os 250 alunos que frequentavam as aulas tiveram que encontrar outras maneiras de continuar trabalhando”, conta.  Por causa de suas ressalvas, Marcos Verzani hesitou no início em dar aulas remotas, mas por insistência das alunas, acabou entrando no mundo virtual. “Como toda a crise obriga uma aceleração e uma transformação, depois de alguns dias de teste, sobretudo com os alunos que frequentavam os cursos de maneira regular, vimos que existem algumas plataformas que permitem, além de dar aula, ver os alunos. Isso mudou a minha maneira de ver e de aceitar essa nova proposta. No início a ideia era só fazer um teste. Três semanas depois, eu estou vendo que é possível continuar um trabalho”. Mundo pós-pandemia Apesar da criatividade e da existência digital, muitos artistas estão em situação de vulnerabilidade. Marcos Verzani ainda não sabe se as aulas digitais serão rentáveis e poderiam substituir os cursos tradicionais. Ele salienta que muitos professores e escolas de dança não vão sobreviver a essa crise. O bailarino brasileiro lembra que não só a Ópera como outras grandes companhias francesas (Philharmonie, Comédie Française...) estão usando a internet para chegar até o público durante a quarentena e espera que essa oferta digital “continue mesmo depois de uma volta ao normal”. Enquanto isso, veja e reveja os belos espetáculos da Ópera de Paris como a Traviata, de Verdi, e sua bela ária Adeus do Passado, aqui interpretada por Pretty Yende, em uma montagem assinada pelo badalado diretor de teatro Simon Stone.

durée : 00:05:15 - Classic & Co - par : Anna Sigalevitch - On retrouve le couple formé par Pretty Yende et Benjamin Bernheim en début de saison dans une nouvelle production de Manon, mise en scène par Vincent Huguet à l'Opera Bastille jusqu'au 10 avril, et en direct dans plus de 100 salles de cinéma le 17 mars.

Pretty Yende is a young South African opera singer at the top of her game. Having enjoyed a meteoric rise performing in opera houses internationally, this autumn she took on the lead role of Violetta in Verdi's 'La Traviata' at Paris Opera. In this ‘In the Studio’, the cellist Abel Selaocoe talks to her about her preparations for the role, follows her as the challenging production takes shape, and meets her after her triumphant first performance to find out what it means to her. ‘Even if I want to admit it or not, being the first black person to sing this role at Paris Opera is a huge deal’ Yende tells Abel after opening night. For someone who became interested in opera aged 16 after hearing the Flower Duet on a TV advert, success has come swiftly. She made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 2013 when she was just 27, and released her first album in 2016. Abel talks to Yende about her background in a Zulu speaking home in Piet Retief in South Africa, and asks what it took for her to get where she is. She reveals the way she approaches her work, and reflecting on the opportunities she has had, says: “I represent every person that was never given the chance to be here. Every one of my brothers and sisters with tremendous talent that never got here. I get to be entrusted with the honour of saying ‘it’s possible’.

My introduction to Cape Town Opera came via a soiree at Bonhams, the London Auctioneering house which operates at the very top end of its market. The patronage of mining mogul Mick Davis ensured an evening of high quality South African voices followed by a well supported fund raising auction. Opera is an acquired taste…….with those who’ve been bitten prepared to travel a long way to enjoy its unique treats. But with its Italian heritage, opera is not the kind of thing you’d expect to find in a developing country with very different musical roots. At least I didn’t before meeting the American who runs Cape Town Opera at my office at WeWork on London’s South Bank. Elise Brunelle served South Africa’s largest permanent non-profit performing arts organisation for almost a decade as its financial manager before taking over as the acting managing director in February succeeding Michael Williams was poached by the Buxton International Festival, one of the leading events of its type in the UK. Williams had been with the CTO as insiders call it, for 28 years. He and Brunelle worked closely together to install a sustainable business model. She tells us all about it in this fascinating look at the business of the arts.

Lyric soprano Danielle de Niese was a star performer at Last Night of the Proms 2015. It was another milestone in this Australian-born American star's glittering career. Growing up, Danielle won various talent and television competitions and debuted at New York's prestigious Metropolitan Opera House when she was 19 years old. She says she knew she wanted to sing opera from the age of eight. Described as "opera's coolest soprano", Danielle is best known for her performances of Handel, Mozart, baroque music, as well as her reality TV shows, including The Diva Diaries. South African soprano Pretty Yende discovered opera by chance. She was 16 years old and watching a television advertisement for an airline, which featured The Flower Duet, from the opera Lakme by Léo Delibes. Pretty fell in love with the sound and instantly wanted to imitate it. She went to be classically trained at Cape Town University and then got a place at the Accademia Teatro alla Scala, in Milan. In 2011 Pretty won first prize in Placido Domingo's Operalia competition and two years later she shot to fame when, at short notice, she had to stand in to perform Countess Adele in Rossini's opera, Le Comte Ory. This was Pretty's Metropolitan Opera House debut. (Picture: Opera singers Danielle de Niese (left) and Pretty Yende. Credits: Chris Dunlop/Kim Fox)
