PS Un “blogger” non è un oracolo e commette inevitabilmente errori (il minimo possibile..). Ricevo spesso “correzioni” non sempre fondamentali e non sempre precise. Così come io mi sottopongo al giudizio altrui con nome e cognome così chi vorrà avere la bontà di segnalarmi eventuali errori o imprecisioni dovrà farlo unicamente mandando un commento: a ognuno la propria responsabilità. In base alla nuova normativa chi si fosse iscritto e desidera de-iscriversi è sufficiente che mi invii un messaggio e-mail..

With a scenography  which has become famous, which reflects with its misty and autumnal landscapes the state of mind of the Marshalinl, who must head towards the sunset of her attractiveness to give way to the young Sophie, La Scala resumes the 2016 staging http://wp.me/p5m12m-Wy under the direction of Kirill Petrenko in place of Zubin Mehta but with the same two main protagonists: Kassimira Stoyanova (Marshal) and Günther Groissböck (Baron Ochs).  As far as Stoyanova is concerned, it can only be said that over the years, without prejudice to a superlative performance in vocal terms, the character has taken on greater depth for the identification between artist and character. A perfect marshallin in every respect. As for Günther Groissböck as Ochs, what has already been reviewed applies. A perfect vocality but a discrepancy between the presence and the character. Günther Groissböck is a man who enjoys spatial success among female audiences and the coarseness of the character of the opera does not suit him. But with the passage of time he too has improved, if ever possible, the vocal aspect, giving rise to a masterful performance. But it is the whole cast that contributes to a masterful performance of the opera. Thanks also to the direction of the highly acclaimed Petrenko who obtains from the orchestra the tones necessary to underline the atmosphere on the one hand crepuscular of the Marshalinl and on the other the comic and farcical one of Ochs. All the other singers were perfectly up to their respective parts.   There is not much more to say. An almost perfect opera with a very large audience that paid a well-deserved success to the performance.

PS A “blogger” is not an oracle and inevitably makes errors (the minimum possible..). I often receive “corrections” not always fundamental and not always accurate. Just as I submit myself to the judgement of others with the name and surname so those who want to have the goodness to report errors or inaccuracies will have to do so only by sending a comment: everyone has his own responsibility.
