Opera Now  |  February 2018
Joyce DiDonato discusses her starring role in Jake Heggie’s Great Scott, a new opera full of vocal pyrotechnics and chiaroscuro shifts in emotion that explore every aspect of her artistry; Sebastian Schwarz speaks exclusively to Opera Now about stepping down from Glyndebourne and his continuing association with the festival’s new competition for young singers, the Glyndebourne Cup; and a tribute to the late, great Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky.
Plus, two centuries of opera at Madrid’s Teatro Real; transforming the topsy-turvy comic world of Gilbert & Sullivan’s Iolanthe into a sublime entertainment for today’s audiences; celebrating 75 years of New Orleans Opera; a visit to Tokyo’s New National Theatre Opera Studio, the foremost training ground for Japanese talent; and Italian mezzo Anna Bonitatibus offers a thought-provoking selection of male operatic roles created by female singers.
