Programme

Overview

Arias, duets and melodies from the great Italian and French lyric repertoire.

Aleksandra Kurzak and Roberto Alagna met as leads in a production of Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore at Covent Garden. A few years later, as part of a production of the same work at the Paris Opera, they have now decided to form a glamorous couple both on stage and in town and who captivate audiences around the world. entire. Since his debut as Alfredo in Verdi's La traviata (in 1988 at the Glyndebourne Touring Opera), French tenor Roberto Alagna has played almost all the key tenor roles in the operas of Verdi, Donizetti, Gounod, Massenet and Puccini on the greatest opera stages. He won the hearts of a very large audience with his recordings of popular songs and his appearances on television sets. Aleksandra Kurzak began as a coloratura soprano but today sings mainly veristo and late 19th century repertoire . For their first album together, in 2018, they chose the love duets of Puccini: a repertoire in the DNA of Alagna, who has always sung it, in which the great tragedienne of the belcanto and veristo repertoire that is his wife naturally joins him. In concert, they combine their two timbres with finesse and accuracy and express a musical generosity that can only arouse enthusiasm.

Grand Théâtre de Genève is an opera house in Geneva, Switzerland. As with many other opera houses, the Grand Théâtre de Genève is both a venue and an institution. The venue is a majestic building, towering over Place Neuve, officially opened in 1876, partly destroyed by fire in 1951 and reopened in 1962, after extensive refurbishments, which houses the largest stage in Switzerland. As an institution, it is the largest production and host theatre in French-speaking Switzerland, featuring opera and dance performances, recitals, concerts and, occasionally, theatre.
