During one of her master classes last spring,
Joyce DiDonato said that Figaro in Barber of Seville is a role she'd very much like to
play.
More recently, she revealed that another dream role is Scarpia. So I
think it’s time for another round of Fantasy Opera Casting!!! (read with echo
added)
The last time we played this game,
we gender-switched all the roles, which could be the way to go again; but if you
really have a dream cast member that is the same gender as the role, that's cool too. So. If Joyce is Scarpia, fill
in the rest of the cast of Tosca (I added one suggestion.):
Floria Tosca
Mario Cavaradossi
Baron Scarpia Joyce DiDonato
Cesare Angelotti
A Sacristan
Spoletta
Sciarrone
A Jailer
A Shepherd boy Philippe Jaroussky
Tosca has to be Placido Domingo
ReplyDeleteGood pick. I was going to suggest Jonas Kaufmann, but I thought that might be a bit obvious. I was thinking Nina Stemme would be a powerful Cavaradossi.
