  • L'Orfeo

    Opernhaus Zurich
    May 2024 - Jun 2024

    • ls Höllenpaar Proserpina und Plutone machen Simone MacIntosh und Mirco Palazzi großen Eindruck. Simone MacIntosh singt auch La Speranza, die Orfeo in gequälter, von Schmerz verzerrter Körperhaltung zur Pforte der Hölle geleitet.

    • Die Damen José Maria Lo Monaco als La Musica/Messagera/Eco, Miriam Kutrowatz als Euridice, Simone McIntosh als La Speranza/Proserpina, Isabel Pfefferkorn als Ninfa, alle mit Haus-und/oder Rollendebuts, gestalteten die jeweiligen Partien mit eindrücklicher stimmlicher und darstellerischer Präsenz.

    • Dass es auch anders geht, zeigt Simone McIntosh. Die schweizerisch-kanadische Mezzosopranistin verkorpert die Jupiter-Tochter Prosperina derart fein, umschmeischelt ihren finsteren Gatten Pluto ebenso schlicht wie bezaubernd, sass dieser ihr keinen Wunsch abschlagen kann.

    • Palazzi had the opportunity to fully showcase his vocal prowess as Plutone, the king of the underworld. His bass was smooth and elegant, and his dialogue with his wife Proserpina, portrayed by Simone McIntosh, was tender and sensual, with both singers conveying the love of this regal couple even in the depths of hell.

    • En Proserpine, Simone MacIntosh fait forte impression avec sa voix grave,

    • Plus marquante, La Musica / Messaggiera, de Josè Maria Lo Monaco séduit par la richesse du timbre et une incarnation puissante du recitar cantando. On remarque des qualités similaires chez Mirco Palazzi en Caronte et Plutone ou chez Simone McIntosh en Speranza et Prosperina.
