Opera Now  |  November 2014
We head to London’s Abbey Road Studios to hear the newly remastered studio recordings of Maria Callas in which the voice of La Divina emerges fresh, glowing and free from age-old imperfections; in an extract from his recent book on style icons, Vincent Meylan assesses the qualities that marked Callas out as unique; and Artist of the Month Mary Bevan speaks to Opera Now ahead of her Rhinegold LIVE recital at Conway Hall where she will present a splendid programme of songs and arias exploring the stages of love. Plus, our correspondents pick their top ten sopranos from a new generation of budding stars destined to have impressive careers; Michael White examines the pros and cons of opera al fresco; soprano Anna Prohaska discusses her new recordings of songs inspired by war; looking ahead to a promising season of world premieres across the US; Georgian soprano Tamar Iveri on the industry storm that nearly ended her career; opera landmarks in Germany; the opera bluff guide to Verdi’s Il Trovatore; and your chance to win a copy of Callas Remastered on 69 CDs from Warner Classics!
