[EXTRAIT] ROMÉO ET JULIETTE by Gounod (Elsa Dreisig, Benjamin Bernheim)
Découvrez Roméo et Juliette de Gounod dans la mise en scène de Thomas Jolly, jusqu'au 15 juillet 2023 à l'Opéra Bastille : https://www.operadeparis.fr/saison-22... Combien de compositeurs ont été inspirés par les amants de Vérone dépeints par Shakespeare ? De Vincenzo Bellini à Leonard Bernstein en passant par Hector Berlioz, la liste est longue. Si le Roméo et Juliette de Charles Gounod, créé pendant l’Exposition universelle de 1867, remporte d’emblée un succès populaire, c’est sans doute parce qu’il a traduit le plus finement la pulsion de vie des célèbres amoureux. Quatre duos d’amour, une valse ardente, une musique lumineuse et lyrique : toute la partition frissonne de désir et de fraîcheur. Qui mieux que Thomas Jolly, l’un des plus inventifs metteurs en scène de sa génération, pouvait célébrer cet hymne à la jeunesse ? Après son Eliogabalo de Cavalli en 2016, ce fin connaisseur de Shakespeare signe sa deuxième collaboration avec l’Opéra national de Paris. Credit: Opera National de Paris
PlayingElsa Dreisig - Mozart x 3
Elsa Dreisig credits Mozart with being the composer who first inspired her to become a professional singer. Now the French-Danish soprano pays him tribute with an album devoted entirely to arias from his operas. Its title, Mozart x 3, reflects a programme constructed around the three masterpieces composed to libretti written by Lorenzo Da Ponte: Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Così fan tutte. Elsa Dreisig sings arias allocated to three different characters in each of these operas. The total of nine ‘Da Ponte arias’ is complemented by three arias from examples of the dignified genre opera seria: La clemenza di Tito, Idomeneo and Lucio Silla. Accompanying Elsa Dreisig is the Kammerorchester Basel, conducted by Louis Langrée. Credit: Elsa Dreisig
PlayingElsa Dreisig & Julie Fuchs sing Mozart: Mitridate rè di Ponto, K. 87, Act II: "Se viver non degg'io"
Sopranos Elsa Dreisig and Julie Fuchs sing as Sifare and Aspasia, respectively, in "Se viver non degg'io" from Mozart's Mitridate, rè di Ponto, with Les Musiciens du Louvre under the baton of Marc Minkowski. Listen to the full duet and more: https://w.lnk.to/mitLY This electrifying recording stars baritenor Michael Spyres in the title role, alongside a star cast that also includes Sabine Devieilhe as Ismene, Paul-Antoine Bénos-Djian as Farnace, Adriana Bignagni Lesca as Arbate, and Cyrille Dubois as Marzio. Mozart was just 14 years old when he composed Mitridate, rè di Ponto for performance in Milan. An opera seria set in ancient times, it boasts a sequence of spectacular arias for its cast of strongly contrasting characters. At the center of the action is Mitridate himself – the historical Mithridatus, King of Pontus, a ruler of Persian-Greek ancestry who was a formidable opponent of the Roman empire.
