Cosi fan tutte (Fiordiligi)
Wiener StaatsoperOct 2024 - Oct 2024Zu bewundern gibt es drei Rollendebüts von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern, die man an der Staatsoper aber schon recht gut kennt und denen man viel zutrauen kann. Am bekanntesten ist die australische Sopranistin Nicole Car, die hier u.a. schon als Tatjana in Eugen Onegin sowie als Marguerite in Faust, als Mimi in La Bohème zu erleben war und in der laufenden Saison noch als Antonia debütieren wird. Die auch darstellerisch vielseitige Sopranistin, die sich jüngst als Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni als blendende Mozart-Sängerin präsentiert hat, ist nach einem in der Tiefenlage etwas zögerlichen Beginn eine hervorragende Fiordiligi. Die herausfordernden Intervallsprünge in der Felsen-Arie „Come scoglio“ bewältigte sie mit ebenso bravouröser Leichtigkeit wie die Triolenkoloraturen.
