Once the encores start, I begin to be a bit concerned about the musicians. I know they're dedicated and they love their work but everyone eventually needs a break.😇
DiDonato is a national treasure. She does the most beautiful "révérence," which for women is so much more graceful than the typical classical concert bow.
Maravilla Musical. Me ha resultado extraño que en los créditos finales, no aparecen los nombres de l@s music@s que integran la Orquesta. Uno de los violinistas es Stefano Rossi, un Grande actual del violín estilo barroco. Lo he visto en numerosos videos. Sería agradable conocer quienes han intervenido Tocando la Música .
What could this soprano not do? I'm going to a pink fair in aid of all who suffered and/or died from the illness Jodie had. We mustn't waste money. There must be more research to find cures for breast cancer, other cancers and other severe illnesses.
Poignant that in the closing lines of the first song, Abendempfindung "--- do not be ashamed to shed a tear for me, it will become the finest pearl in my heavenly diadem----"
I disagree with casting 2 countertenors instead of 2 female singers -- Armindo was originally a contralto role and Arsace an alto castrato or mezzo-soprano but NEVER a countertenor.
The finest modern example of baroque opera currently out there. Absolutely stunning, all baroque operas should have similar sets, performances, costumes, and ballet techniques.
