Der er stjernepræstationer fra Alban Lendorf, Maria Kochetkova, Liam Redhead, Simon Kongsted og Nicholas Tamagna
There are star performances from Alban Lendorf, Maria Kochetkova, Liam Redhead, Simon Kongsted and Nicholas Tamagna
Bedst af alle er dog operasangeren Nicholas Tamagna, hvis blide røst står i stærk kontrast til hans maskuline fremtoning.
Best of all, though, is the opera singer Nicholas Tamagna, whose gentle voice stands in strong contrast to his masculine bearing.
Og dog lægger operasangeren sig upåvirket til at synge »With Hey, Ho, the Wind and the Rain« – med al lyden af folkevisesangerens evige smerte i sin stemme og samtidig som en politisk kommentar til drømmen om den stærke mand.
And yet the opera singer settles down, unaffected, to sing 'With Hey, Ho, the Wind and the Rain' — with all the sound of the folk singer's eternal pain in his voice, and at the same time as a political comment on the dream of the strong man.
Og da sangeren Nicholas Tamagna stiller sig midt på scenen med sin bløde kontratenorstemme, lægger Simon Kongsted sig for fødderne af ham for at kopiere hans oprørte armbevægelser. Som et forskudt spejl.
And when the singer Nicholas Tamagna places himself centre stage with his soft countertenor voice, Simon Kongsted lies down at his feet to copy his agitated arm movements. Like a displaced mirror.
Der Sänger lässt diese Raubtiere der anderen Künste am Ende in Schlaf fallen: Zuerst war die menschliche Stimme, und zuletzt.
In the end the singer lulls these predators of the other arts to sleep: first there was the human voice, and last of all.
Die Fähigkeit des Sängers, wie Orpheus alle zu befrieden mit seinem Gesang
The singer's ability, like Orpheus, to bring peace to them all with his song
Han er et scoop for forestillingen.
He is a coup for the production.
Hans stemme beskrives netop som kraftfuld og dramatisk, og det er den.
His voice is described as powerful and dramatic, and so it is.
Ud over at kontratenoren Nicholas Tamagna med urokkelig pondus får lov til at stråle med sin smukke stemme, får stjernedanseren Alban Lendorf også lov at udfolde sit efterhånden mangfoldige skuespiltalent i en introvert karakterrolle.
Beyond the countertenor Nicholas Tamagna being allowed to shine with his beautiful voice with unshakeable authority, the star dancer Alban Lendorf also gets to unfold his by now wide-ranging acting talent in an introverted character role.
Eine reizvolle Nuance setzt Tamagna als Timagene, dessen Lispeln in der Arie 'Es stimmt, dass der Fisch oft seine Scherze mit dem Angler treibt' herrlich komische Wirkung entfaltet.
Tamagna sets a charming nuance as Timagene, whose lisp in the aria 'It's true that the fish often plays its jokes on the angler' unfolds a wonderfully comic effect.
begeistert Nicholas Tamagna als lieber Verräter mit saftig tiefsatten Tönen.
Nicholas Tamagna delights as the dear traitor with richly saturated low tones.
Countertenor Nicholas Tamagna punktet als intriganter Timagene.
Countertenor Nicholas Tamagna scores as the scheming Timagene.
Stefan Sbonnik als Gandarte und vor allem der zapplig-intrigante Timagene des Nicholas Tamagna trugen ihren Teil zur interpretatorischen Brillanz des Abends bei.
Stefan Sbonnik as Gandarte and above all the fidgety, scheming Timagene of Nicholas Tamagna contributed their part to the interpretative brilliance of the evening.
Nicholas Tamagna fait une forte impression dans le rôle de Tolomeo. Son interprétation flamboyante, notamment dans Si, spietata, il tuo rigore, apporte une dimension théâtrale vibrante au personnage, jouant à la limite entre menace et excentricité. Cela crée une belle dynamique avec les autres personnages, notamment Cornelia.
Nicholas Tamagna makes a strong impression in the role of Tolomeo. His flamboyant interpretation, notably in 'Si, spietata, il tuo rigore', brings a vibrant theatrical dimension to the character, playing on the edge between menace and eccentricity. This creates a fine dynamic with the other characters, particularly Cornelia.
Countertenor Nicholas Tamagna, making his company debut as the shy Armindo, provides a lighter vocal contrast to Vistoli's. His singing, characterized by immaculate floating notes and expressive tones, captivates from start to finish.
Countertenor Nicholas Tamagna, making his company debut as the shy Armindo, has a lighter voice that makes a good contrast with the rest of the cast; his florid singing is on par with the rest of the cast.
Tamagna lent a sleek, beautifully lyrical sound and superb control of trills to Armindo's music, all the while revealing a remarkable talent for physical humor. While singing flawlessly, he crawled up a spiral staircase and dangled from the edge - in an homage to the silent film comic actor Harold Lloyd - and climbed through a water closet transom. When he finally won the girl, he tap-danced, brandishing top hat and cane.
Messieurs Vistoli and Tamagna both possess leading man auras, both exude great charm as well as sing in the alto range with ease and true beauty of voice. Both easily meet the physical theater demands of the Alden production.
American countertenor Nicholas Tamagna, spectacularly bumbling in his Act 1 aria, sung amid spine-crunching pratfalls on that spiral staircase.
But the star of the group, and indeed of the whole show, was Nicholas Tamagna's Giustino. His voice is absolutely superb, whether in the long lyrical phrases of his first aria, or the extraordinary coloratura of some of his later utterances, or the two beautiful duets with Lauren Lodge-Campbell, and true as a die in all of its varied settings.
Hingegen liefert der MET-erprobte Altist Nicholas Tamagna ein darstellerisch packendes und sängerisch überaus expressives Porträt des intriganten Feldherrn Timagene.
By contrast, the MET-seasoned alto Nicholas Tamagna delivers a dramatically gripping and vocally extremely expressive portrait of the scheming general Timagene.
Bleibt der Sekundarier Timagene, glänzend falsettierend gesungen von Nicholas Tamagna, der Feldherr Alessandros und zugleich sein „heimlicher Gegner“, womit die erotisch-machtpolitischen Konstellationen des Librettos genügend beschrieben werden.
There remains the secondary character Timagene, brilliantly sung in falsetto by Nicholas Tamagna, Alessandro's general and at the same time his 'secret opponent', which sufficiently describes the erotic-power-political constellations of the libretto.
Wielding total stylistic acumen that encompassed effortless tones at the top of the stave and an impeccable trill, he paid homage to Guadagni by performing Orfeo’s music artfully but without artifice, the voice confidently meeting every demand of the music.
Size aside, every singer onstage last night was competent at worst, splendid at best. Let me single out Nicholas Tamagna, an American countertenor. He was not the main countertenor - that was Iestyn Davies, in the role of Ottone - but he gave us an exceptionally beautiful sound. His character, Narcissus, was ridiculous - maybe Narcissi have to be - but this could not disguise the beauty of that voice.
As her other stooge, countertenor Nicholas Tamagna in his Met debut proved a find - a focused tone with presence and color and a droll comic actor.
In smaller roles Duncan Rock sounded light for Pallante but he carried out with aplomb his mildly amusing Mutt-and-Jeff routines with Nicholas Tamagna's nervous-nelly Narciso. The American countertenor's intensity and heartfelt singing for his Met debut made me wish he'd been singing Ottone instead of Narciso.
Mit dem Countertenor Nicholas Tamagna steht als Siroe ein ausgezeichneter Sänger zur Verfügung, der mit mal makellos schwebenden, mal mit ausdrucksintensiven Tönen die Riesenpartie nicht nur durchsteht, sondern von Anfang bis Ende auch bezwingend gestaltet.
In the countertenor Nicholas Tamagna, an outstanding singer is on hand as Siroe, who - with tones now flawlessly floating, now intensely expressive - not only gets through the enormous role but shapes it compellingly from beginning to end.
The countertenor Nicholas Tamagna, as the worse son, Farnace, was charismatic, vibrant in recitative and with full, rounded tone in his arias.
Tamagna was exquisite, combining perfect tonal quality with substantial power. His voice soared with piercing sadness and soothed with a silky beauty, giving a glimpse, perhaps, of why castrati voices became the divos of the Baroque era.
It is even more impressive that, with Giulio Cesare, Bel Cantanti is highlighting a young American countertenor as Cesare, Nicholas Tamagna, who looks to be one of the most remarkable performers in his vocal range to emerge over the last few decades.
Tamagna's sound can be described as that of a sexy, masculine, English alto - it is richly colored, deep in texture, and capable of great dynamic range.
As Cesare, countertenor Nicholas Tamagna handled his complex runs and vocal ornaments fluently through all eight of his arias.
