| Her Current Season |
|
The dazzling, vocally distinctive, theatrically engaging Alaska-born mezzo-soprano VIVICA GENAUX continues to garner kudos for her compelling performances on the world’s great musical stages, not only for her extraordinary technique and beauty of voice, but also for her vibrant character portrayals. She is consistently lauded as one of the pre-eminent interpreters of Baroque and bel canto music
Ms. Genaux continues to balance her appearances in the U.S. and abroad with
operatic engagements, concerts and recitals in new venues and countries, as
well as returns to sites of previous audience and critical triumphs. She adds
three additional characters to her repertoire, one each by Rossini, Haydn
and Hasse, bringing her total to forty-two, twenty-seven of which are trouser
roles and sings one of her signature roles, Angelina in La Cenerentola,
for three different companies. Additionally, two recently completed CDs will
be released.
The mezzo commences her 2009-10 season with a first appearance at the Stresa
Festival in Cenerentola conducted by Gianandrea
Noseda. Two engagements follow at Vienna’s Theater an der Wien, both
firsts for her: the title role in Rossini’s Tancredi,
marking her reunion with one of the early mentors of her career, conductor
René Jacobs, (with a repeat performance at Budapest’s Franz Liszt
Academy); and Ernesto in Haydn’s Il mondo della luna,
her first collaboration with Nikolaus Harnoncourt. A series of concerts of
virtuosic Vivaldi arias (tied to the release of her new Virgin/EMI CD) with
Fabio Biondi and Europa Galante are scheduled throughout the season, beginning
with one at Paris’ Théâtre des Champs-Élysées;
the new year brings further dates in Strasbourg, Turin, Naples and Cracow.
She performs a recital in La Coruña, Spain with pianist Carlos de Aragon,
followed by Cenerentola at the Théâtre
des Champs-Élysées. More Vivaldi is heard on the “Les
Victoires de la Musique” televised awards concert. Long a champion of
the music of Johann Adolf Hasse, she performs a concert of his vocal works
in Hamburg under the auspices of the Hasse Foundation. For the Washington
Concert Opera she sings the last of the Cenerentolas.
Ms. Genaux makes her Salzburg (Whitsun) Festival debut in a Hasse rarity,
Piramo e Tisbe, once again with Fabio Biondi and
his Europa Galante. At the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées
and at London’s Barbican Centre she sings the dual roles of Juno and
Ino in Handel’s Semele under Christophe Rousset
with Les Talens Lyriques. Her season concludes with a reprise of Piramo
e Tisbe with her Europa Galante colleagues at the Festival de
Radio France et Montpellier.
