One of my favorite
mezzos, Rinat Shaham, as Massenet's Cendrillion at La Monnaie. This broadcast is
available starting today from The
Opera Platform (an offshoot
of Arte
Concert, where you can also see Anna Netrebko and Francesco Meli in Verdi's Giovanna d'Arco)
Here's an excerpt from
Cendrillion with Rinat Shaham and Sophie Marilley:
Note: you may want to track down a libretto (here is one in French only) since the website says: Kindly supported by La Monnaie, THE OPERA PLATFORM presents CENDRILLON free of charge as video on demand. This opera is a full-length performance offered in addition to our regular programme. Therefore subtitles will not be provided.
Ah, something to do in the holiday aftermath! Thanks Rob!
ReplyDeletebtw your listing has disappeared from my blog roll, and I can't seem to re-add it. Is this a purposeful setting on your end (in which case I'll desist) or some annoying thing Blogger's up to?
I watched the first half last week and the second half last night. Mezzo attack!!!Sophie Marielly is a very convincing in black tie and tails(and I think the whole cast is quite good.)
