Hello, everybody. Antoni here with a really uplifting entry. Five months ago and three days before I started university, I spent my last vacation day in Dresden where I caught Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro at the Semperoper Dresden. This was also where I caught the fabulous Italian light lyric soprano Carolina Lippo as Susanna. She was one of the finest definitions of a rising star when I saw her in that role. As soon as I made my review of that production, I was more than grateful and happy to have been in contact with Ms. Lippo regarding featuring my comment about her performance as Susanna on her website. I am proud and overjoyed to say that I finally got featured on there. Sure, there were some words that could have been improved like constriction instead of construction. However, when all is said and done, I am still honoured to have gotten a part of my review featured on Carolina Lippo’s website. To conclude, I want to give a huge thank you to Carolina Lippo for making my final day in Dresden really worthwhile, for giving such a fine performance, and for acknowledging me as a music and entertainment reviewer. I wish you all the best on your future endeavors.
Behold! My greatest highlight during my Bordeaux trip was meeting the ever-stunning, ever-fabulous, and phenomenal Jessica Pratt. She definitely sang up a magnificent storm at the Opéra National de Bordeaux from the clockwork acrobatics of Olympia to Antonia’s yearningly painful virtuosity to Giulietta’s sinuous sensuality and style to Stella’s superb acting chops, thus proving herself to be the complete package. Moreover, she is very well-known for her interpretations of Lucia Ashton from Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor, Elvira Valton from Bellini’s I Puritani, Amina from Bellini’s La Sonnambula, Rossini’s Semiramide and Mathilde from Guillaume Tell, Gilda from Verdi’s Rigoletto, the Queen of the Night from Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, and Violetta from Verdi’s La Traviata. Here is to more years of awesomeness, beauty, and greatness to the fabulous Jessica Pratt. Cheers!
Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you all enjoy my interview with the magnificent contralto, Madame Bonita Hyman!
This marks the first time I have ever interviewed an opera singer and I feel like I should do this more often.
