Teatro La Fenice Review 2024: Mefistofele

https://operawire.com/teatro-la-fenice-review-2024-mefistofele/

After leaving the premiere of La Fenice’s production of “Mefistofele,” I dried two little tears from my eyes and, in a burst of emotion, was possessed by one thought: how underrated Boito is. Usually relegated merely to the place of the fanciest of Verdi’s librettists, Boito was much more. His works extend from a few musical pieces to many (untranslated {…}

Teatro La Fenice 2024 Review: Verdi’s ‘Requiem’

https://operawire.com/teatro-la-fenice-2024-review-verdis-requiem/

I will never die. But when if I do—certainly after 2300—, I want to be mourned with Verdi’s “Requiem.” No discussion. Few musical moments are more rewarding than the first tenor “Kyrie,” breaking into the orchestral mass, abashing any feelings that are not of heroic repentance. I simply love it. However, such strong personal preference creates rigid expectations of how {…}

Teatro La Fenice 2024 Review: Maria Egiziaca

https://operawire.com/teatro-la-fenice-2024-review-maria-egiziaca/

Photo: Roberto Moro Sometimes, opera programming can be extremely original, providing us with unexpected titles. That was the case with La Fenice/Maria Malibran’s “Maria Egiziaca,” Otto Respighi’s eclectic and sensuous opera. Especially when hearing lesser-performed titles, it is very hard to define what to expect musically. While in classic and baroque operas, there is a certain inner grammar of the {…}

Teatro La Fenice 2024 Review: Mozart’s ‘Requiem’

https://operawire.com/teatro-la-fenice-2024-review-mozarts-requiem/

Each music-lover has their “Requiem” of choice. The Heroic will want to be mourned under Verdi’s; tender souls feel represented by the ethereal melodies of Brahms or Fauré. But, it is safe to say that nine of ten music-lovers prefer Mozart’s unfinished “Requiem.” More than a masterpiece, it is arguably the most gracious sacred work in the classical repertoire. However, {…}
