Markus Werba and Miah Persson |
So I was listening to more of the Schwetzinger Festpiele Concerts.
I clicked on an unknown (to me) name, and found a program of lieder sung by
tenor Daniel Behle.
As is my wont, when I find a "new" singer, I
googled Herr Behle, and discovered he was in a recent production of Don
Giovanni in Paris. So I googled "Don Giovanni Paris 2013" and found
the Théâtre des Champs
Elysées site and schedule. This is the order in which the cast is listed there:
Markus Werba Don Giovanni
Miah Persson Donna Elvira
Daniel Behle Don Ottavio
Sophie Marin-Degor Donna Anna
Robert Gleadow Leporello
Serena Malfi Zerlina
Nahuel Di Pierro Masetto
Steven Humes The Commendatore
OMG! Miah Persson as Elvira??? This I gotta see. And so do you:
Heavenly! Robert Gleadow and Markus Werbe as Leporello and the Don. Not bad either! Here's the finale of Act 1:
The internet can be a big old time sink; but then again, there are so many treasures out there waiting to be found! Oh, and Daniel Behle? Stay tuned!
I had exactly the same thought as you when I saw the words Miah Persson and Elvira - I must see/hear this! I'd love to watch the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteI really want to Gleadow's Leporello. I've seen him live a few times and he never disappoints.
ReplyDeleteI think there are a few more excerpts, and some rehearsal footage on YT, plus some items (in French, no doubt) on the Théâtre des Champs Elysées website. Also, I think there was a broadcast recently, but not sure if it was audio only, or video.
ReplyDeleteOh duh! Of course there was a video broadcast. The videos have the MEZZO logo in the corner! Doh! Now we just have to wait for someone to upload the whole thing. :)
DeleteIt'll happen. I have great faith in opera bootleggers.
DeleteMe too! Thank goodness, they always manage.
DeleteWell, this made my day. And the production looks intriguing...
ReplyDelete1. Yay!
Delete2. I agree. And Théâtre des Champs Elysées has a few rehearsal clips on their YT channel.
And an audio bootleg has already appeared! God, I love the internet.
ReplyDeleteHey, me too! Thanks for the link!
