This is going to be a very exciting season!
The three
biggest titles in their genre - Strauss' Die
Fledermaus, Lehárs Die
lustige Witwe and Kálmáns Die
Csárdásfürstin - have long been at the heart of my
repertoire and will yet again take centre stage.
Starting
December, a new production of Die
Fledermaus under the baton of Intendant and GMD
Stefan Soltesz, will see me back at the
Aalto-Musiktheater in Essen, Germany. The staging
is in the hands of Gil Mehmert, Rosalinde will be
sung by Viennese soprano Alexandra Reinprecht. And
of course there is a performance planned for New
Years Eve!
Straight after,
I will return to the Tiroler Landestheater in
Innsbruck, Austria, for a new production of Die
lustige Witwe, staged by Thomas Enzinger. Florian
Erdl conducts, Eva Lind and Christine Buffle alternate as
merry widow Hanna Glawari.
Come January,
my 5th production with the Nationale Reisopera
touring The Netherlands will be Monique
Wagemakers' praised staging of Verdi's La
traviata,
conducted by Robbert van Steijn. Singing in one's
home country is always that little bit extra
special. With the political winds blowing as they
are, I will cherish every minute like it was the
last, as the future may not hold many treasures
for the Low Countries operatic life...
In March and
April, just 3 performances of Michael Sturmingers
very exciting and always selling out staging of Die
Csárdásfürstin will be given at the Aalto-Musiktheater
in Essen.
After engaging
me for my first "Festvertrag" in Braunschweig and
trusting a young singer to sing defining roles
like Pelléas very early on, I am especially proud and happy
to be part of Brigitte Fassbaenders last season as
Intendant of the Tiroler Landestheater. We will
come full circle with the world premiere of Shylock!, a musical by
Stephan Kanyar and Brigitte Fassbaender, based
upon Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice". With
Chris Murray as Shylock, Matthias Stockinger as
Bassanio, I will be portraying the Venetian
merchant Antonio, the composer will conduct and
Pierre Wyss is directing. The first ever
performance of this addition to the world of
musical theatre will coincide with being on stage
for 25 years.
A very exciting
season indeed!
