Juan Diego Florez, Salzburg, Wien, Austria, August 24, 2009
2009 Salzburg Festival
August 24, 2009
Lied Recital 6 • Aria Recital
Juan Diego Flórez, Tenor
Vincenzo Scalera, Piano
Program of the Concert
Bel Canto with Adrenaline
It is not alone the virtuoso production of high notes that constitutes Flórez’ great bel canto art. “I want people to notice everything I sing in between as well,” he never ceases to point out. His opera performances are marked by an endless breath for legato phrases and a stage presence that transports great feelings. This was very apparent at the 2002 Salzburg Festival at concert performances of Rossini’s La donna del lago.

Anna Netrebko, Salzburg, Wien, Austria, August 17, 2009
Updated August 24, 2009
For those fluent in german, here is a review of the concert from WALTER DOBNER (Die Presse)
Salzburger Festspiele: Russische Lieder mit Netrebko
Primadonnenprominenz und Pianistenglanz bei zwei Liederabenden: Anna Netrebko mit Daniel Barenboim, Magdalena Kozená mit Mitsuko Uchida
Künstler wollen nicht nur geliebt, sondern auch geschätzt werden. Die Tendenz, künstlerische Ereignisse zu gesellschaftlichen Events umzudeuten, wenn nicht sogar umzufunktionieren, erfüllt einen also mit Sorge. Kaum war der Liederabend von Anna Netrebko angekündigt, haben es manche bereits taxfrei zum (Gesellschafts-)Ereignis dieser Salzburger Festspiele erhoben. Schließlich begann Netrebkos Karriere an der Salzach: 2002 als Donna Anna in „Don Giovanni“. Als Violetta in Verdis „La traviata“ hat sie 2005 diesen Erfolg noch überboten.

Natalie Dessay, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, July/August 2009
Natalie Dessay is playing the role of Violeta on Verdi's Traviata at the Santa Fe Opera on the following dates:
July 2009: 3, 8, 11, 17 & 24
August 2009: 4, 11, 17, 22, 26 & 29
Opera / Santa Fe, USA
Verdi: La Traviata
Role : Violetta
Saimir Pirgu, Keith Jameson, Laurent Naouri, Anthony Michaels-Moore, Wayne Tigges, Harold Wilson
Conductor: Frederic Chaslin
Director: Laurent Pelly
A review of 'La Traviata' by the Santa Fe New Mexican noted that:
"Dessay has waited some years to sing Violetta, and it's our luck she decided to perform it here first. The role is famously difficult vocally, so taking it on outside the Chicago-New York-London-Paris circuit was perhaps a factor. On the other hand, SFO can offer the world-famous soprano the concentrated rehearsal time she prefers for every project, plus the kind of intelligent colleagues she demands.
Not that there wasn't plenty of compelling singing. The fleet coloratura flourishes in the "Sempre libera" scene were as vital as Violetta's anguished, lyric sorrow later. Her dying wisps of sound in the last act seemed like they already came from another world. Even a few tiny breaks in the voice here and there, especially on soft high notes, were deftly incorporated into the character and the moment. It was an interpretation to remember and cherish.

Wien - Austria
Dates: 01, 04, 06, 08, 11, & 14 Aug 2009
In the article Sex and blood and Mozart Don Giovanni, review of Schrott performance:
Much of the credit goes to Erwin Schrott, a.k.a. Mr. Anna Netrebko.
Built like a god, and with a voice to match, Schrott's Don Giovanni captivated the sellout crowd in the sculpted and gilt theater on the banks of Vienna's huge farmer's market.
