Creo haberlo ya dicho: no se editarà el Barbero de Pesaro, ni en dvd ni en cd. Tampoco se harà ningùn dvd del Comte Ory de Pesaro 2003. Lo programado, por ahora, es lo siguiente:

1.- DVD del Barbero de Madrid
2.- CD Latino
3.- CD de Matilde di Shabran, Pesaro 2004
4.- DVD de la Fille du regiment de Genova 2005

También se està programando la grabaciòn del 5° cd, en setiembre 2006, dedicado a Rossini, Bellini y Donizetti.

No se trata de un recital de JDF en Valladolid (9) y Madrid (11), se trata del mismo concierto donde cantaràn JD y Dniela Barcellona dirigidos por Riccardo Frizza. Arias y duos, algunas paginas (como Favorita) él las canatrà por primera vez.

Sí, en las dos, Valladolid y Madrid. Supongo que en el "Calderón" y, seguro, en el "Real".

Estupendo! Ahora sólo falta enterarse de cuándo salen a la venta...

P.D. Por si no lo habéis notado, es una petición de información en firme


Fdo. : Una que no le coge el aire a la web del Real... no digamos nada del Calderón.

Tengo una amiga en Valladolid con un contacto que la va a tener al tanto de la salida a la venta.

Yo suelo enterarme de lo que pasa en Madrid y cuando y dónde comprar entradas con antelación... pero todo tiene el aspecto de que ese recital no va a ser en el Real, porque la programación anual ya está cerrada.

Prometo intentar enterarme (por la cuenta que me trae, ya me he perdido a JDF varias veces). ¿Cuando hablais del día 11 en Madrid, a qué mes os referís?.

Florez: At ease with his fame, his fans and his voice

Now that the wheezing Three Tenors road show has long since run out of gas and the trio's famed linchpin, the 69-year-old Luciano Pavarotti, is limping through what is being billed as his "worldwide farewell celebration tour," inquiring minds want to know who the next Pavarotti is going to be.

The popular press has wasted little time crowning the Big Guy's heir apparent: Juan Diego Florez.

For good reason. In less that a decade, the darkly handsome Peruvian heartthrob, 32, has spun a sensational light lyric tenor, amazing vocal virtuosity and a charismatic stage presence into a major international career.

And he has done so singing the most florid and highest-flying music in the tenor repertory -- the early 19th Century Italian opera known as bel canto (Italian for "beautiful singing"), the light, agile style of vocalism expected by composers Rossini and Bellini.

Having touched off feeding frenzies at virtually all the leading opera houses, the bel canto poster hunk is about to make his long-awaited Lyric Opera debut as Don Ramiro, the Prince Charming role in Rossini's "La Cenerentola," singing opposite mezzo-soprano Vesselina Kasarova. Lyric's revival of its venerable Jean-Pierre Ponnelle production opens Wednesday at the Civic Opera House . . .

. . . Even by the high standards of present-day Rossini singing, Flórez in his long-awaited company debut as Don Ramiro, and Kasarova as the scullery-maid-turned-princess Angelina, made a dream duo at Wednesday's opening.

Flórez is a Prince Charming to the manner born. This is a lyric tenor voice that's ideal for Rossini, diamond-bright in tone yet sweet where required, firm in definition and even throughout its range. His high notes have thrilling ping to them, his diction is immaculate, and he sails through the most demanding coloratura like a downhill skier taking every curve in elegant stride. He achieves every expressive nuance without sacrificing stylishness or security of line.

The young Peruvian tenor also is a remarkably assured stage performer who cuts a noble figure even in valet attire. . . .

. . . Making his eagerly anticipated Lyric debut, Florez was a prince to swoon over. His tenor is a vibrant instrument, light and agile in Rossini's highly ornamented vocal fireworks but powerful and secure in the opera's ringing high notes. His Don Ramiro was a gentle, ardent lover but capable of convincingly hot wrath when defending Cenerentola. . .

Pavarotti ha cumplido 70 años este octubre. Algunos se han acordado para puntualizar que él cantaba mejor "La hija del regimiento" que el tan alabado Flórez y, además, con el doble de voz. Y es verdad.
