H a day after the La Scala by zero -transportation I was in the Deutsche Oper, which is known is Bismarckstraße, close to cafes Papageno in the western part of Berlin. At the small hospital transport ostohreneli Germans with ski accessories, but the view of the Alps was wonderful. At the Deutsche Oper gave "La Traviata" ... you imagine, there are opera houses, which are conducting "La Traviata"! :-)
For me, this fact boggles the mind. Yes, plus an impressive line-up was promised - Anja Harteros and Simon Keenlyside . Keenleyside during transportation which had disappeared and was replaced staff baritone DO certain Markus Brück . For Alfred loved Pavel Černoch , - our , from Riga. :-)
What a mother was in Berlin, while I'm there more than one day has never been and was always on a Sunday when all shops closed. At that time it was repeated as deja vu. Zero people on the street, but in Opera packed and these pretzels their to continue to sell at the entrance :-). The audience was completely my own and I began to find is some charm in the German language, as before, it did not understand anything. And then Euro 4 gave me a glass of white wine! Russell in a home on the ticket hall, which was 2 times cheaper than in Italy and tuned in to eat.
And again did not disappoint Deutsche Oper. Well this is what honeyed sounds rushed out of the pit ... That's where they were Skripochka, this is where were the pace, that's where the choir sang, as I understand now, sing only the Germans. The first act just like a whirlwind swept. All groups of artists have shown an amazing coherence. Pace of execution was very high and no one person - that orchestra, that among the soloists, a choir that - not worn out the overall flow of music. And just for this show felt great rehearsal study and exceptional discipline. How it all to face the opera. And the outstanding performer of Violetta, the opera is too much to face.
Anja Harteros so far for the main part of the audience a dark horse. Very young singer with exotic looks and absolutely fantastic voice, she has no tangible records, however, as they say, hearing about her opera earth is full and can say with certainty - it is all in vain. Violet made her great. Can talk about any kind of blemish - it happens sometimes vocal zakovyki (and who they do not happen), but what a lovely big and strong soprano in the lot in which already fed up with all these birds, Nevelichka, chirping in different ways. His voice Harteros with all its warmth, tenderness and feminine charm is very powerful, nature just pulled, designed her vocal apparatus. Te power of sound, it simply is not laying a small hall of the Opera and clearly dominated the ensembles. But it did not fall to the coarsening ever. On the contrary, even too often used the piano, which she has a convex, very natural, and completely does not lose color. I have already said, after Othello that with such beautiful vocals may not be too carried away tones, her voice on the natural force can not be bored, but Harteros sings as she sees fit and it is impossible to disagree.
aria sung, in my opinion, brilliant: the first part, just nothing to complain about, in the second cascade - a feeling that the conductor Yves Abel would like a higher rate, but the singer did not go after him and he slowed pace. In the purity of singing of cadences were some commas, but that's just to make it seem not so honey :-) E-flat did not take, but the hall itself has explained that his Verdi and not written. When the curtain closed, this crazy Deutsche operas began to rage. It so happens, when well-dressed men and women in shiny blouses howl at the full ecstasy - I know how they do it :-) What Harteros favorite public course, and guess what success everywhere it accompanies. But the culmination of was not the last, n h further went on increasing.
luxury of this soprano immediately make you forget all the findings and tweets koloraturok in this parties that voice to convey all the experiences of the protagonist can not. Harteros used all the richness of his apparatus to the fullest: all crescendo / diminuendo, piano / forte - all appropriate, all to the point, all for the enrichment of the party. Although sometimes she broke through some sort of childlike fun, suddenly, for no apparent reason, squeaked a letter, and too sugary and squeaky voiced final sentence, but once breathed the last word presmertye, soared with such powerful final note, that in an absolutely quiet room resounded squelch noses lovely ladies. Men are also getting through. It certainly was a strong performance. Prophesy about whether to fight for Harteros theaters do not want to or not, but it seems already fighting. A large rock with a large repertoire of career starts, and if all goes well, it will please respected opera audience (but not ours, n h, we Alevtina Spring has its own good)
in duets Harteros was also organic. A long time since I have not heard such an inspired performance of boring for my taste, a duet with my father Germont. Here's a real opera house - the replacement was absolutely trouble-free. AND I guess that Keenleyside not be able to sing better than Markus Brück-little-known baritone. Again, I scratched a turnip, recalling the lamentations of don Domingo that Baritone Not now. And this, a stunning singer, it was who? Not a baritone, I suppose. Glory to those gentlemen, that Domingo has not rushed to sing Jermon dad, but he certainly had in the plans. And then have to sit in our dugout and shoot rossiykom Baturkin with Grigoriev :-).
But back to Brooke - spinto baritone with a wide breathing, with a natural legato, with excellent highs and Pts high sensitivity to a partner, we can say that his vocals, he simply embellished this already so beautiful spectacle. Appearance is certainly not brilliant, but the game is decent, especially since Dad have a good son can be anything and the parents do not choose. :-)
It is not like his dad, a handsome Nordic type Chernoh Paul oil painting is not ruined, and even podbavil something which paints. Alfred sang with kabalettoy - though not in kabaletnom pace, often stumbling - and even with a high note, which took slightly polufaltsetom. For his courage rapidly thanked the audience. Not to say that Pts good actor, but the winning looks and painfully expressive threw Violetta money. :-)
Statement can be quite called classical, though the transfer over time of course there is. The play begins with a prelude, during which Violetta lies on a couch in the middle of the room, and in the lighted doorway is a doctor. But once the action begins, immediately enters the maid on a nightgown main character wears a red fur cap in the style of 30's and all - Violetta ready.
Set vygorozhennye course, but the stage, not narrowed, the place to play a lot of space and no pressure. In the second act a room does not change, only increasing number of windows in which the trees are visible. Ball of course the smallness of the barbarian - in a dark space, but in bright clothes and bright lights. Ball impression completely created. Dancing in the sense of the ballet was not, cost the extras and in-house choir and soloists. But in the last act that no fib, the bed is still the bed, but did not attribute a bright costume Violetta - namely, woolen socks, a very stands out :-) Moreover, at some point, I saw that one sock was torn from him asked to eat a thumb. Maybe it was the idea the director, maybe a sock tore the course of action. But Harteros and came out in torn sock on the bows.
Singers caused uncountable number of times. To understand what the Deutsche Oper in ecstasy, it should be present at this performance at least once. I was lucky. I attended more than once. And it still wants to present opera in the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
