V-tech Answering Machine Manual

Recital Salvatore Licitra MIHM 28.12.2010







Tenors Concerts category A in Moscow, have become quite commonplace, just like in some of Baden-Baden. Facebook look live to see summer concerts at openair and I just imagine how grand opera zaperdoshivayut directly on the Moscow River, with bleachers and a free portable toilets, as in Europe, the bank :-) There is only one neuvyazochka that events such as concerts Tenors Category A, the people we do not go and go. P h Theatre, which could get people to the opera in the capital simply does not. Therefore, the dream and waking.

Thanks those workers on the invisible front - the organizers of the concerts in the Moscow International House. Well, thank you MMDMu that with perseverance worthy of better application, continues to please visiting stars, half-empty halls and at the same time according to the order categorically not let people from the balcony to the stalls. Otherwise, the pit would look quite decent, and the balcony could be closed and pretend that he is in need of repair, as it was recently on the slopes of the conservatory. Or once and hack to death on your nose - the singers of category A should be invited into a small room and then everything will be OK: so 400 people, enthusiasts can easily find Msc (hotya.., God knows, at Anna Samuil and 50 not found)

Tenor Salvatore Licitra, who liked me, singing in the design of, say, not very high quality. Let's start with the conductor. Lorenzo Koladonato next year, chief conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Baden-Baden (well, just nowhere to go from this to Baden-Baden, he was always with us: just barely Kirbalet otgromyhal there the tour, so here you are you, to us fan of their next chief conductor :-)). And, I tell you, in this case envy nothing. A sort of skinny young man who really could not gather the orchestra, but the inspiration allowed him to rumble and thus to enhance the effect so much waving his arms, that once even dropped the baton, nearly hitting the eye of one of the musicians. But the playfulness is an event he did not lessen. To minus program is the fact that there were too many orchestral pieces. On good they should be a maximum of 2, and even better one. The rest let him sing.

Singing Girls with nepevcheskoy name Savrasov special treat I will not. P h for the beginning I was not able to listen to it - the orchestra played loudly, she sang softly. Therefore, for the impressions we would have to go to a number of stalls, but I was not allowed to go there. Roughly the first quarter of the first branch of the soloists loudly and was accompanied by juicy telephones - too common a story for our philharmonic audience. For the first time in my life I heard the middle of the concert obyavlyalka announced to the people pozatykal their means of communication.

Well, in general, everything was as usual, except that Lichitra Pts good tenor. Tenor Spinto.
Music, however, the smallness of kiksoval, Highlights in the final duet of the "Ball-Masquerade", but try to MIHM, but with some of our audience, but sing like a nightingale aki on notes :-)
This - Lichitra one of the few who sang at the Verona Arena when still there was no miking - enough votes and he had good punching power.
the timbre is very pleasant to the ear. Sang a lot of things Good pop music from the opera. Showed a high professional level, particularly in its material - Riccardo (Un ballo in maschera), Macduff, Alvaro: here and cantilena and gifted and adequate Freedom and looseness, though except for a little cluttered top.









In the 2 nd ward, when Lichitra sang Canio and Cavaradossi, seemed to me that these things he was not sufficiently expressive and tense in the best sense of the word. Perhaps this is due the fact that I do not like when the downhole moments in verismo singers begin to soften , throw and jump at the sound of a piano. Tenor you, you're in verismo - oriented way :-) And the piano, we hear from the masters at the age of 60.



But you never know what I not seem , tenor sings a full KavPag and Cavaradossi so generally one of the titular its parties. Neckolko crumpled sounded encores Nessun dorma: not enough strength left, the singer ran out of steam a bit, became expand the sound - is it not the voice. But the audience was in vostrge. The concert was a success on the rise. Those who came were thankful people, not including some that are, as always started to leave before the time :-).







who we've got more of the tenors remained unreached? Which, if not come as one of the many friends Hvorostovsky, it would sing at half-empty hall. :-)

Motorola Starchoice How To Program Remote

Herman Schmerman / Rubies dress rehearsal of the Bolshoi Theater 12.21.2010 (a)

  • Herman Schmerman T. Willems choir. William Forsythe
  • Rubies Stravinsky choir. George Balanchine





Following the Bolshoi opera and ballet began to modernize. A t to the ballet at home and in the world such as the innovator opernyyChernyakov not then have to collect lumps on the back streets of the world ballet. And EBNM, even in the ballet has to rely on Deutsche Grammophon, the site is written (not read it myself - told), - William Forsythe is in the top three choreographers of the world (the other two, Noymaer and Killian, you know, all the young guys and they have a great future :-)) Why are not covered DG Ratmansky I know not. But tomorrow he grohnet premiere of "The Nutcracker" in Brooklyn, you see, and the Kings will break.

And according to Gershenson large and generally any academic Repertory Theatre simply must have a asset in ballets by Balanchine and Forsythe. Well, that's fucked ...
Why the Bolshoi Theatre is constantly arranges some meshaldu of one-act ballets, impossible to understand. Why harness into a single cart with Balanchine, Forsythe, also a mystery. Want to put stones , well, so putting them all. This somehow could be explained and understood: dilute the repertoire at the expense of neoclassicism, to attract new spectators to please the old, which, although they have seen all is a large number ve even under socialism in English raznovsyacheskih artists, but could bump into memories and posravnivat Osipov, for example, Frances Zyumbo. Yeah, and in a democracy, everything is "nove" not far away, in St. Petersburg, it was. And me, as a person with whom Gershenzon Renanskim, and now Allah Sigalova constantly forced to work on yourself and use one's brains in order to reach out to elected and become a worthy, did not manage to cultivate permanently. Well, judge for yourself, you come, like, trained, and you're in front of Herman Schmerman give, pardon the expression, Serenade, which I have already seen 2 times, so even with Shpilevsky. :-) Well And how can we work on ourselves and reach up to incredible heights ... In this case, had to prepare the body and not the spirit to the perception of innovative delights in Arts officers :-)

What pleased me is that I have not seen before in the performance of the Bolshoi Theater.
course absolutely correct position for the duration works - both ballet and 20 minutes. Well, not a charm for a single viewing and visit the Bolshoi Theater in order to then proudly announce - I was there (But only to remove the hell Serenade, let him go with a C major). And so he went and in 8 of their homes. And it will be when something like this. :-)

If contemplate Herman Shmerman, you can find more pluses. For example, I liked the yellow skirt podtrusnikah on a guy (not me alone). More and remember nothing of the fact that liked it. :-)
The fact that such choreographers as Forsyth Moscow admired in all competitions in fair number ve yet to under socialism, it's understandable. Vanguard ballets, they are somehow the same awful for the past 50 years. Enumerate all the characteristics of this so-called choreography, over which we have actively working head, still quite boring, they all know. Everyone also knows that modern dance refuge of people who have nothing to say. They are each other's peredirayut 2-3 hours on a bare stage + desirable for our public podbavit eerie avant-garde in the form of Anna Okuneva in chiffon shirt without sisyatnika. It was the same delicious spectacle as Denis Savin, a yellow skirt and a shroud. No, the real vanguard of course happened at the very moment when Babeshko from Quintet strong gait, moved to the stage in bathing suits from the Burda Moden the fashion 80's of last century with a highly battened down thighs and no tights. In this case, the illumination on the scene was such the muscles all the dancers have played, and transplanted as a rope. Shagistika stripped all the charm of the inguinal lived about this baletik no one can say that it does not work visible. Oh, how the work is visible ... Forsyth opened the ballet through the looking glass - what is frightening turn may be a ballerina. I've always they seemed just beauty. Meet on the street like nothing special, but the scene will come as navyut tow, crowns ponadevayut, curvy skirts pulled, ears glued, - and the eye does not tear, Beauty and only. Ahn, no - there they are with us: asexual - unisex, hard, clumsy. They even lepitsianami not compare, those dainty, little white. :-)

If you look look at Rubin, then the word good in principle, to say nothing. Suggest that These dances here a breakthrough for the ballerina Osipova, it should be except as Dolchev - th , n h in the ballet he does not understand anything, but if you look at it in terms of adequate rights of the public, well, for example, such as Alfatsentavra, then, of course, much nicer to go to Osipov in La Bayadere and Don Quixote. " P h Rubies her to do nothing and watch it with. Is that on her slippers, "refined" - Rag, while all satin. Or is that zavyazochki that stuck out in all directions. But this is, as always, there is nothing new. To walk with heels Osipova was able to before, run around with his hands in fists, too, as many were. I have repeatedly heard that the Balanchine performers not to play party. But this is a Balanchine and at the Bolshoi Theatre during the performance of Balanchine can build all sorts of faces and muttering something to himself.
Shipulina For her solo too continuous party. Came out, something danced ... Whether business Lilac Fairy, there can fight you can, and here and have nowhere to do it. :-)
Suits in Rubies, they will freak out a handsome, and Lopatin has never been a handsome, easy to understand what happened.







And in the end after seeing there was a big question - and who needed this hodgepodge. Kuznetsova. Gershenzon with Gajewski. That's understandable. But the Grand Theatre on a goat horseradish accordion. Great in the field of ballet has always been theater stars, and Now, despite the current ballet tuhlyak, it is still in this status (n h in the other theaters yet rotten). And what if the ballets in which the stars appear nowhere. After all these stantsovannye our Osipov and Krysanova party stations from any Herman with shmermanom somewhere on the outskirts of Europe on the category C. Yes Rubies and easy for all and sundry in essentially starless NYCB . Of course our lads - caught amerikosy and mastered this superstil. And most importantly managed. T h povoshischatsya our criticism will be nothing.

I hasten to share with my fans good news. Seems to me that at the end of the season I will all invited to meet with me Bahru. Go? :-) (From America, too, can be reached)
I say on purpose. Today, under the columns pestered me an intelligent lady, by the way with ID and stamp on it. :-) passionately thanked for the PR, which I do baletfrends in my LJ, and somehow I felt .. that she wants to be friends with me. A t to all ballet, Bahr about his life in art has already told you, my heart feels, the next after Kaptsova I will be with a story about his life around art. Harvest issues. :-)

How To Develop Calluses For Guitar

Verdi Un ballo in maschera Wiener Staatsoper 08.12.2010


as a preamble to the next report about the restaurant korotenechko SOLE, in which José Cura was fed after Manon Lescaut. "
It was decided to check out the kitchen and to start it was decided to check prices, hung in a frame next to the entrance :-). Check fails, n h immediately jumped waiter Zavoloka us inside. Well, what can I say? I liked everything. Prices are quite reasonable (especially if you compare them with Moscow). Separately I want to praise the only perfectly cooked soup Minestrone. But as it turned out, the menu does not nail the program of this restaurant, n h to the time when the first bottle of Pinot was a nice finish and came rasslabuha, before our eyes again yavitlsya he - José Plácido Domingo Blockhead , with a man and accompanied by a master. I certainly 've seen a lot of opera singers in his time, with other, even in restaurants hazhival, but the stars of such rank the same air with me had not yet breathed :-). Therefore, for unyatiya vozbuzhdyazha had to persuade the second bottle, and most importantly to persuade myself not poperetsya the ladder, where met the star of world opera, with a request an autograph on a napkin or on the hand and take pictures with him on his plate Berl :-). But I myself okorotil. Especially because not one person from taking at this time of food in the restaurant, Domingo did not recognize. I tried to draw attention to the fact the waiter, whom he serves, but that somehow was full of horseradish the village - well, come, so what, then up to the bar of them goes: yesterday Cura, Domingo today. All I do not remember. It seemed very suspicious person accompanying comrade. :-) Seems to me that it was Meyer. And if so, from next year after a 20-year-old hollenderovskoy diet our nightingale still sings baritone in the famous Opera house and I need to find another favorite theater. But we hope for good things, maybe it's not Meyer was that the most likely n h me drunk anything it might seem. :-)

In short, what I'm taking it all. And to what will be in Vienna, take the time and money. Go to this restaurant. Enjoy. Topics more than that at any moment there can come any of the celestials. Account and retained on the work report document. :-)



December 7 was free from the opera day, which was devoted to a trip to Baden tram,



examination of Beethoven's house - there he is, being totally deaf, brings all loud neighbors playing the piano and they pounded at him resort :-)





Then he went for a walk in the park along the trail, now called the road Beethoven, and on which to walk, there was no such possibility because of the high count dropped out before the snow.



were also inspected the church in which Mozart something for the first time personally performing (which I certainly do not remember), theater, 2 shops and lovely cafes. Sniffed the smell of hydrogen sulfide from a local stream, from which either all drink this water, whether treated by them, sat on the tram and headed back to Vienna.





this check, I put myself. Next will be in Budapest (if it is checked) :-)

the last day of the Viennese renegades that money has nowhere to go, went to stare at lepitsianov on their fancy jumping and somersault. A modest opera fans who do not have such resources, went shopitsya and bought a hat for 5 €. :-) Then he came to stables, and looked at lepitsianov free when they were taken out after the presentation - well, purely Osipova with Vasilyev :-)



A night at the Vienna Opera Let's "Masked Ball at the luxurious decoration: drapes, stairs, arches, camisoles, wigs, - in short, all kontravangardnaya attributes was magnificently presented. :-) Was also very richly represented by the light in dark scenes. I have already said that in Staatsoper, so - if deep, so viewers should not see anything from what is happening on the scene. :-) And tons of the "Ball-Masquerade" 2-I pattern of the first act and all the second type, the night, then you can understand why the clip image failed. I have yet no night vision equipment.

Unfortunately Nadia Krasteva his deep voice sang a spell in the dark and share a record will not ( also will not spread terzetto of the second action beware it sounds daggers ... , there's just darkness Egyptian ). T h only with my words)). You know how I love Nadia and her vocals are not discussed. :-) The presence of piano at the top in this game, thank God, is not required, t h, and there is nothing to parse. Wait for it for obvious reasons, podsyrnike failed, Nadia was not ready to wait for the play to look at beautiful faces, welcoming her fans (particularly mine) and went home immediately after the first action. :-)







Micaela Carosi - typically Italian, a big, emotional, with a big voice, the so-called voice of Arena di Verona, when it has singing without a microphone, she sang Amelia in Vienna for the first time. In the theater there was a lot of Italians who supported her with all his might, t h debut can be considered successful. But Indra Thomas at the time I liked more. Caroso voice sounds rather tartly to this party and in some places that I was very surprised, intonation was not always pure.





T to Ileana Tonca - Oscar best of all times for my taste - in December in a block occupied by Der Rosenkavalier, in its place was Yulia Novikova . Again, a comparison not in her favor. By itself, the voice of Novikova's much simpler and more primitive than his voice thin, there is no beauty and sophistication. Execution was absolutely identical her vocal in "Rigoletto." Pale, grayish, but with all the notes sung honestly, but absolutely incendiary. Although the success she had. But in this case can be say that this is not a singer, but a party of singing.







Compared with women men seemed just eagles on top of the mountain of the Caucasus.
I often reproach that I am only one of Kuru respect, well, me and Ramón Vargas very congenial. Well, since this same tenor and nowhere on it does not get to. Leaping, rich and clever n h och deftly bypasses all inconvenient places :-). And then there is something I love very much to the tenor, - confident insolence great singer . Vargas came out and everyone understands who's on the scene. Another course at this unprepossessing appearance well, just deep fascination. They can not but admire. And what a costume! Camisole sitting on it, as a glove. And as her legs folded up when he died, neither here's a raskoryaku, but in ballet :-).
course were understandable flaws associated with the current state of voice, but in this case is not the point, n h, he created a memorable image of a bright coherent and sang very, very dignified. He's all right, even popoet, let alone "Masked Ball" it does its trick.



Well, another pleasant surprise - the baritone, which is known now in the nature there, and because of that Domingo has rests with the machine gun embrasure. So, baritones, more than enough. Give them only to sing. George Petean appeared randomly in the pack.



was originally claimed Carlos Alvarez, as he had 4 years ago already sing Renato could not. Therefore, replacement of essential graced the show. Petean first-class baritone-spinto, sang well with great feeling, freely embracing room. Smooth voice, very nice voice. Well-trained and fairly young. For you broke my heart got just howling halls. But it is a pity that all this does not mean anything: wants Domingo will sing Renato, and wants Hvorostovsky will sing Rigoletto. And yet Petean unknown at what an occasion will come on the scene Shtaatsoper in similar roles. And it's time to sing, by the way, could, and Simon slabat and no worse than some .





After the performance all the performers got Pts good applause and podsyrnike gathered a large group of people. Most certainly thronged to Vargas and corrosion, but Novikov time warning in advance, took place at the bargaining table, and all those who have gone to the stars, by itself passed mimoy her and shoved her utility for signature. It turned out like that and our Page of the side is not full sun. :-) Peteanu already poke was nowhere, so he was giving autographs at the knee to those who it was able to discern. Obayashka Vargas has long stood in the street with his friends, and we wandered around in, n hour in the morning had to go to the Msc.

South Park Streaming English Subtitles

Puccini Manon Lescaut Wiener Staatsoper 05.12.2010

Second Viennese day was very eventful. Firstly, the number of negative degrees on the street and at the same time the number of tourist group on Graben and KertnerStraße; secondly, the number of people in cafes, in which it was not through. But I have been with a ticket morning's presentation of the upcoming premiere of «Don Giovanni» the Opera. Thought, although there will be warm, but no, theater, too, was vystuzhennym anomalous cold weather. In fact, At first, I foolishly thought it would be general, but then the Viennese residents enlighten me, - Mit Mitwirkenden der Premiere, this is such a fashionable thing, that and we now happen before each premiere. Only we have one free drive can not, and there somehow nabitkovalsya room and not for free. :-)

special piquancy to my situation gave that in German I know - you know, I know - and Vestbanhoff Hyutteldorfshtrasse ,:-). That's all. And there in front of red curtain, but under a portrait of Mozart, in a closed orchestra pit for three tables with three decanters sat two pepper - as I understood Moderators Andreas Lang and Oliver Lang (could be wrong) and ... drove Achtung-mahtung about Cesare Chen, Ruggero Raimondi and why D in DA Ponte spelled with a capital letter. Old masters were shown in old records. Live performances were presented Only Sylvia Schwartz, who sang Zerlina's aria at the piano.



Super Star Ildebrando D `Arcangelo not deign to sing, but only revealed his room media heavy person in life find themselves not so much on media as preukrashennyh photoshop advertising posters. And, generally, was modest Italian guy, and in English reported to the audience that he compared to Sepi below the plinth. This led to the approval of the hall, n h the vast majority of white heads present at the Matinee, of course Sepi heard in those years still shaggy. When asked about the creative plans, D `Arcangelo reported that in the very near future he will participate in" Anna Bolena " with a great cast, I mean - Netrebko, Garanca and Meli. It seems Garanca Vienna forgiven, as well as London forgave George.
The moment when I finally start tending to sleep, there are two characters: the Muses hands Staatsoper Franz Welser-director of the performance Mösti Jean-Louis Martinoty. And on the half hour blah blah blah ... The director was carrying about kontsEptsiyu that meets disapproval cues from the audience. Looks like the Vienna opera gets another rezhoperu and it is likely that the "Boo" can take place. :-) Well, it's their problem. This year I have a rezhoperny Don Juan looked.
This presentation is sucked out of me all the juices. Barely managed to reach the Rosenberger and it took everything and ate it all and then all it took to drink))), and I even did not prevent crowds of Italians, who were shouting in my ear in his gibberish language.



After coming saturation wanted rich rest, but the evening did not promise to be weary, n h, it was necessary to gather at "Manon Lescaut," which, for no apparent reason, started at 18.30. Somehow once lucky with the places - In our bed were not engaged in the first row of two seats. Of course it would be stupid to get lost and do not sit there. T h pattern initially loomed almost oil. Not to say that "Manon Lescaut" is one of my favorite operas, not to say that I listened to it a lot - only in records for familiarization with the material, and even then only 2 times. But it turned out that opera is not such a long and a live performance is even inspiring .-)

Before leaving, read a review of performance and realized that the events are moved to Vienna today. THEOREM rezhopera hello, long time we have not met. When the scene opens, there certainly shop windows with mannequins, paparazzi, gadabout crowd mixed in with quite modern-dressed people doing the buying. Really it's all very smacked that we have seen on the streets of Vienna. Manon appeared in a short raincoat with a white suitcase, so all modestly. :-) Promptly appeared and Chevalier des Grieux (why Cavalier? :-)) Sang everything properly and sang well, despite the fact that almost constantly clearing his throat and wiping his nose with his sleeve leather jacket as a present rezhopere :-). Weather on the street lately is influencing health status tenor José Cura, n h, it is in principle not able to walk and take care of himself, as did the old masters : Zurab Sotkilava, for example, is always packed in a scarf, even if on the street 20 ° heat, or rises above, Kozlowski, who has always stuck out only one nose Well, Basque Country, was the case when he began his career with BT, a bank.

but surely, however, to the formulation. Design throughout the performance did not change, but in the 2 nd step is constantly changed to Impress Manon))). Leaving the lovers to the Lexus (and why, actually, and not on it, if the sponsor of the Lexus performance and most of the Opera - "Manon Lescaut" in this formulation is now live and live :-) In the last act, libretto by in a strange place , do not understand where Manon and des Grieux are on the same street, but only at night, among the trash and empty cans. There's Manon, and died from exhaustion, disease and thirst. And the Chevalier de Grieux night in Vienna of course could not find an open store to buy her something to drink (as I understand it - neither cigarettes nor water, everyone is asleep and the city is dead). In general, the show has turned life :-). Of course a little cavalier smaller would dart, but tons of singing, it is excellent and noise design of its nose, does not affect the quality of music, vosproizodimyh exactly passionate, burning-temperametno and very hot, as she said his partner on the show, then this modern version of the Chevalier Rene Des Grieux in black completely arranged. Also He made a very belated aunts, who did come to their familiar places us in the 1-th row to the top of the second act (one intermission), and at the end yelling as killed.

As José Cura as des Grieux - a complete hit. Verism always it was there, and will continue for some time. P h his dark voice, in spite of all the metal and stiffness, is capable of transmitting all the nuances of the so-called sensual vocals. Plus, I already talked about this rare ability to change the color tone depending from muzmateriala. So what then, and monotonous voice Chickens will not name - in it, and juiciness and play and, in general, we gave him vodka))), expensive, for compresses.





But Olga Guryakova complete contrast to his cavalier and not only by sex. Unfortunately as a vocalist she has degraded strongly enough. Now the singer with great difficulty taking the top notes, and pierce the orchestra on these tops can not. Singing is still the same - large-grinding, heavy and rough. Maybe in Puccini is, as he went to, n h Manon Lescaut strong soprano singing (although now *** prossysh, then just who does not sing :-)), but that required dramatic voice Guryakovoy just not. But there is monotony and stock. Frankly, I understand very little such votes - for the lyrics, they are coarse and heavy, but for veristkih and large parties are simply not enough strength left. The game everything was fine: good move; Slim; plastic; relaxed on stage when the upper notes do not need to take), sensitive to the partner. But with all due respect and pride for Rush Mother , well, that's immediately obvious - the train is not the first, though bowed well applauded, at least better than Elizabeth several years ago (where it was just a polite reception)







Well, Happy Birthday :-) Because presentation was given just the birthday of Jose Hens. Came almost the whole of his heavy artillery. On the right side upper box throwing bouquets hung a garland of flowers and congratulations, shouting, wailing - is by itself. Flowers threw in Kourou, Kura throw them in the audience.



And on podsyre compared with Seville was just pereanshlag. Everything, mostly ladies, excitedly waiting for the birthday, BUT! José first came out the other, which José Plácido Domingo Embil Blockhead with its second half. Of course, I wanted to stand beside him and povoshischatsya :-), but no it has not plunged, although Domingo is so cute smile to everyone who stood in his way. Everyone was waiting for her and once again I realized that if I am not, then who will focus outstanding master of the operatic stage. Here, look what happened -
But Domingo We still do not say goodbye, he's a like a red thread that the blue ribbon of the river meanders through the entire Vienna until Annagasse. T h wait to continue, but for now let us return to Kure. As soon as he appeared, all the horde that has managed to cram in a waiting room, he sang a chorus of Happy Birthday, and then began to give red ribbons, Christmas cakes and something else, not forgetting to continuously take pictures and do not deviate from its subject a single step. Where I was already there))) Kura patiently paint, gave pictures, posing. On the question of how you feel badly answered, and then did say - in a hurry, my restaurant will soon be closed).



Packages all gathered and reunited with his soproovozhdayuschimi persons went to the side Kärntnerstrasse. As it turned out to an Italian restaurant on the Sole Annagasse.

And why is it turned out, n h front of this restaurant was a hotel just one representative from our Moscow cheerful company. Therefore, trace the movements of world opera stars will have no difficulty. Or rather, do not even follow, but simply coincide in time and place. In this restaurant мы таки пошли, но на следующий день и об этом я расскажу завтра.

Smoking And Joint Pain

Il Barbiere di Siviglia Wiener Staatsoper 04/06.12.2010




Ну вот снова-здорова — я вернулся из Вены. И понял, как же я люблю Москву : в ней не надо одить каждый вечер в оперу, зато можно в выходной день в 22ч сходить в магазин и купить, например, кусок мыла или даже, подымай выше, пачку сигарет - Exercise for Vienna totally unworkable. :-) But I love Austria

- for the Wiener Staatsoper
- for Apfelstrudel
- for Austrian Airlines
- and now, because in Vienna can be easily opera star meet somewhere in the Annagasse (but more on that later)

flight was bought back in May, then it was worth 3800 there / back and the whole problem was only one - Pick digestible repertoire without dyadeyRudegov, Bruzón, plasidissimov and other opera antiques. Well, something is picked up already, with 2 of Seville barbers (one was in question due to late arrival). But this time, everything went quite favorable, and only after a clear trip, - Fly Austrian Airlines, - which poured free of charge and top to bottom! 2 times, at 7.30 I arrived at Stehplatz, and he, ground to 4 €, was available. I will talk directly to 2-m productions, n h, they have little differed - both times I was standing, not pre zamorachivayas buying tickets, and the lineup was the same, and the performance is approximately the same, except got to detonation in La calunnia è un venticello Sorin Coliban (Don Basilio) on 6 December :-).

I do not know what year staged The Barber of Seville »Günther Rennert in the Staatsoper, but by design it certainly the best kinsman, and moreover, the father or mother, or maybe even peremat , naiperveyshego symbol rescue opera in general and the Bolshoi Theatre in particular - Rezhopery "Wozzeck" .-) I even dare to argue a bit with the protagonists of this great production directed by Charles Seems to me that the 364 th performance at the Vienna Opera resolved markedly avant-garde than the nominated all the freshest Masks "Wozzeck." The fact that this Seville all the characters easily run out of room the room (they are exactly the same as in "Wozzeck" in the post. dir h) and on the floors that technically and visually Naina looks interesting, as opposed to sitting people in them-dummies in each cell at the Bolshoi. Moreover, the characters go up on stage from the orchestra pit, by the way, Tcherniakov Biryukova with a pencil — ну чем ни новьё:-). Учитывая последние режиссерские «достижения» Оперы, со временем, ясен перец, новый интендант поднатужится и под руководством очередного rezhopera will release an updated barber with Rosina, dressed in kombinashku with Almaviva, sported shorts with the emblem of the Count and Basilio, of course, coat and glasses. More than anything not necessary to change. And if that's you, please - "Wozzeck" to the music of Rossini. :-) But so far everything is going to naftalinke . And it means just one - people are very decently sung, though not reported any starry names. No, the real star of course will be required, at the end of December (as IN the same without the stars), but we unfortunately did not get anything :-).
In both performances naphthalene felt also on the crowded hall. P h, you know, this avant-garde, it's for a few, but they impossible to fill room in principle, therefore, always come to the aid of students GITISa, conservatory, social, and Warriors of the many army units, the Msc. The latest work is very avant-garde, now they're something just does not stand up and not leave in the middle of the action, and will to suffer until the complete victory over the vanguard of a routine.

But it's here, and Vienna, he still enjoyed playing Il barbiere di Siviglia, and famous singers who do not give protuhnut, and in which new stars light up regularly. Staging Moore tied, n h Rossini as neither put, though in a concert performance, but only sing well, and all thank you say.

by the first spectacle wanted to say thank you to little-known singer Silvia Tro Santafé - present Rossini mezzo, rich, rolling, with a beautiful lower register (if not her juicy top notes, you could say with certainty that the Tro Santafé viola - a dense and pypuklogo bottom I have not heard) on the success it was the first and best pieces of both spektaley - her solo pieces, especially the scene singing lessons, sang masterfully.









most famous performer for me was Javier Camarena , although I never heard of it certainly is not :-), but I know because his name was flashed in a variety of cast in the most different theaters. Here of course the impression was somewhat weaker. Singer with an interesting feature: the island sounds of ensembles and in solo, in which, if not Cessa, then it's only 1 nd act, somehow ... was ... obscenities - podsipyval / podhripyval, experienced considerable difficulties in the jewelry ("before", though both times picked up, but with this filthy vocals, this was not a pussy, or in the Red Army, sorry :-)) and 2, in general, not the most difficult pieces in the beginning it seemed to me that Camarena tenor closer to the characteristic of the domestic - Bluff and rustic. Most liked when he portrayed a nasty preprotivnym voice of Don Alonso and played the way that people are simply lying. :-)







completely unknown surname Markus Werba (Figaro). His main trump card - a charming young and pleasant timbre voice - lyrical baritone. Though not large, and sounded not always perfect: sometimes not collected and does not even sound very neat Orchestra at Michael Güttler could not break through at times.









About Michael Gyuttlere should be discussed separately, n h, he is no stranger to our people - worked for some time in Yekaterinburg, and we have a philharmonic, it was business conducted .. Now that's Staatsoper lit and in my opinion very well.



Both basses have worked honestly and read the burial service in the framework of its proposed roles. Of such performance talk - not prevented.

Well, about prorushku, which happens even in such old ladies as the Vienna Opera - lovely, how was the nightmarish Simina Ivan (Bertha), which in this play for some reason designated as Marceline (again, than not find :-)) How wonderful it prokoshatila famous aria, to the tune of Ukrainian songs. But tons of all bands and all actions were executed finalochki very shock-like, quickly and important musically, it all took such as Bert necessary for granted)

Orchestra and all the soloists on both evenings - sometimes, though not equally - have shown consistency and spetost. And hard to believe the stories, that Shtaatsoper not have enough time to spevok, to work together on stage for rehearsals with the orchestra. Nothing like that is absolutely not felt. Conventional blots big play was a place to be, but the overall impression of the ideal coherent mechanism for not only the vocal and orchestral, but also acting. And all this without the noise and dust daily grind. That's from what is obtained in the Wiener Staatsoper every evening feast. I guess that for the Viennese, who have the opportunity haunt the play, this "Barber of Seville" pass option. However, the story had come to Vienna guests on such a representation would not be ashamed.







And lastly, the Vienna Opera pleased with just an abundance of the Russian public, even some football fans at shteynplats that Being drunk, managed to defend all of the first act, and one of them even conducted in tact. Behind them followed closely Pts usher, but she's head did not come they were not allowed to drive or what Pts could easily make the secret police of the Bolshoi Theater.
