Jumat, 06 Mei 2011
BREAKING NEWS - Elina Garanca is pregnant and cancels the premieres of "Anna Bolena" at the Met and "Don Giovanni" at la Scala
The Latvian mezzo soprano Elina Garanca and her husband, the conductor Karel Mark Chichon, are expecting their first child, according to a press release. The due date is late October 2011.
For this reason, Miss Garanca has to cancel the premieres of Donizetti's "Anna Bolena" at the Metropolitan Opera of New York City and Mozart's "Don Giovanni" at La Scala of Milano, both of them starring Anna Netrebko.

PRESS REVIEWS
Larry L. Lash, in his review of the premiere on 2. April 2011, wrote for Opera News: Netrebko's assumption of this Donizetti queen takes her one giant leap forward to claiming the title of diva assoluta del mondo. Her huge, plummy voice sounded as beautiful as ever, but her technique showed newfound confidence in passagework, particularly in trills, and seamless runs even to the lowest notes.
George Loomis wrote for the New York Times on 12. April 2011: Ms. Netrebko scored a personal triumph as Anna Bolena, in what may be her greatest achievement since her “Traviata” at the 2005 Salzburg Festival.
BLOG REVIEWS
Blogger CommandOpera, in a terrific review of the premiere on 2. April 2011, wrote: Perhaps the most critically important Operatic performance of this generation took place over the past weekend at the Wiener Staatsoper. Why was this assumption of Miss Netrebko as Anna Bolena of such tremendous stature? Singularly, Miss Netrebko is the only vocal artist today of her rank and presence at this precise moment in time to define where the art form of Opera currently exists.

Wiener Opernball 2011
The 55th edition of the classical Wiener Opernball, the most glamourous event of the year in Wien, was held at the Wiener Staatsoper on 3. March 2011.
The star mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca was the invited guest to sing in the event. She sang an aria of Saint-Saën's "Samsom et Dalila" and the popular Sieczynski's "Wien, Wien, nur du allein".
Among the invited guests, stars from the opera world like Anna Netrebko with Erwin Schrott and his daugther Iara, Tamar Iveri, Natalia Ushakova and Clemens Unterreiner, the fashion stylist Evelyn Rillé and her husband, the photographer Johannes Ifkovits.
Nevertheless, despite the efforts of ORF2 Austrian TV and to the dissapointment of some of the organizers, the spotlight of the event was the stunning 18 years old italian girl known as Ruby, the star invited guest of the austrian millionaire Richard Lugner. Lugner traveled to Genova in a private jet to pick-up his invited guest Ruby, her real name being Karima El-Mahroug, and bring her to Wien. An exclusive full photo coverage was done by austrian photographer Andreas Tischler. In Wien, before the Opernball, Ruby gave a press conference and participated in a signing session at Lugner Kinocity and did a photo call session at the Hotel Savoyen.

2010 Richard Tucker Music Foundation Gala, Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center, New York 14. Nov 2010
By Howard
On Sunday evening November 14th, 2010, we were delighted and priviledged to attend the 25th Richard Tucker Gala at Avery Fisher Hall. The foundation offers a $30,000 scholarship each year to an aspiring artist. This was a sold-out performance which was without intermission. Marco Armiliato conducted members of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and New York Choral Society. After opening comments by Barry Tucker, Richard's son, the concert began with only 2 disappointments: Mariusz Kwiecen and Zeljko Lucic were both ill and could not attend. There was a suprise replacement by Susan Graham who had met Marco on the street and asked if she could attend. Marco said of course and joked with the audience that he did not need to consult with the Tucker Foundation.
As some of the reviews have indicated, Anna is a tough act to follow. Indeed dressed in a stunning royal blue gown that showed off her curvaceous assets, she again ruled the stage. In her first aria "Heia in den Bergen" from Die Csarasfurstin ( Kalman's "The Gypsy Princess), along with the chorus, she simply seductively danced and swayed her hips to the beat of the music while thrilling the audience with her voice. She was having the time of her life. In her second aria "Toi Vous... N'est-ce plus ma main" from Manon (Saint-Sulpice scene) she was on fire! Singing with Marcello Giordani, they embraced and even kissed passionately at the end of the aria! She simply stole the show.
There was indeed a preview of an up and coming coloratura soprano, Angela Meade who sang "Era desso il figlio mio" from Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia complete with florid embellishments. She had been featured in the film, "The Audition" about the MET's 2007 finalists and a previous winner of an Richard Tucker fellowship. We had seen her previously in Norma at Caramoor and indeed she has an incredible voice with a lot of talent. There were other artists who simply could not sing above the orchestra and chorus or who had wandering pitch, but there was no trace of faltering by Netrebko who was out to conquer all with an impressive performance.
Elina Garanca, a wonderful Latvian mezzo, appeared to gain some weight and did not ultimately make the most of her talents even with a duet with Brandon Jovanovich from Carmen, where the tenor could simply not project and did not connect with each other.
Anna simply dominates the stage and has raised the bar for all artists. She easily gets into the role, sings expressively and makes best use of both her physical attributes and artistic talents. After seeing Don Pasquale and now this gala, we can only wonder what is next.
We went to The Green Room, where celebrities usually meet their fans, but alas Anna had snuck out without greeting any admirers. Marco and other celeberities were there, but many fans were disappointed that Anna had departed.
