Rimsky-Korsakov: The Golden Cockerel
Highlighted Features
Following celebrated productions of Prokofiev Semyon Kotko and Shchedrin The Left-Hander, Valery Gergiev continues his survey of uniquely Russian works with The Golden Cockerel, Rimsky-Korsakov's final and, arguably, most mysterious opera. This vibrant new production mixes live action with CGI, and is the vision of Anna Matison, an acclaimed playwright, script-writer, film director and producer. The Golden Cockerel was Matison's directorial debut with the Mariinsky, and saw her also take on the roles of production and costume designer. ''In selecting the genre of the fairy-tale,'' the stage director says, ''I do not intend to experiment with it as a genre. It is a family story: for children it is a merry and vivid tale; for parents it is a wise parable.'' The melodious nature, beauty and leitmotifs of teh plot are underscored by the production designs; the opera uses pantomime and masquerades, while the set utilized 3D video projections. For much of the twentieth century, Rimsky-Korsakov's operatic works was largely ignored in the west, and he was better-known for his editing of major works by Mussorgsky. A thoroughly Russian composer, his music derived much from his country's rich legacy of folk tales, and hi slush, exotic orchestration was a strong influence on his student Stravinsky. Completed in 1907, just after the Russo-Japanese war, the opera's depiction of a witless Tsar meant it was initially banned and Rimsky-Korsakov never saw it performed. Finally staged in 1909, it received its first performance at the Mariinsky in 1919. Based on text by Alexander Pushkin, with libretto by Vladimir Belsky, the opera begins with The Astrologer, who itnroduces himself as the director of teh story, a moral tale, througha fantastical kingdom. King Dodon, once a great warrior, is now old and tired. However, his sons have not inherited his talent for warfare and his kingdom is now under threat. To aid the King, the Astrologer ...

The grand scale and magnificent acoustics of the Roman arena in Verona are ideally suited to the pageantry of Verdi's Egyptian opera, presented here in a staging that is true to the original 1913 production, framed by obelisks and sphinxes and filled with chorus and dancers. Chinese soprano Hui He has won international acclaim for her portrayal of the eponymous slave girl whose forbidden love for the war hero Radamés (Marco Berti, the experienced Verdi tenor) brings death to them both. Press Reviews"It's straightforward, recalling Edwardian toy theatre...And the spectacle isn't overdone...Ulbrich is a fiery Amneris. But it's the Ethiopians who carry the day, with Maestri's thundering Amonasro and, above all, Chinese soprano Hui He's Aida, vocally strong and passionate and commanding a decent mezza voce. " (BBC Music Magazine ★★★) "Hui He is one of the world's Aidas of choice, and there's no denying that she's got what it takes...Berti, similarly, has a true Verdi tenor as Radames...Ulbrich is an impressive Amneris without a well-placed top couple of notes...Maestri, who looks as if he could stomp the Egyptians to death if he wanted to, sings and acts a monumental Amonasro. " (International Record Review) "[Hui He] is quite magnificent, her silvery-toned soprano soaring above the orchestra. Add her involved and expressive acting and excellent vocal characterisation to a smooth legato line and I was bowled over...[Ulbrich] has the vocal heft and bite to come over in the large Verona Arena whilst her committed acting was also welcome.

Originally commissioned to celebrate the completion of the Suez Canal and the opening of Cairos new opera house, Verdis Egyptian epic Aida is here seen in a spectacular new staging in the Teatro Regio Torino by the Oscar-winning American film director William Friedkin, creator of such famous movies as The Exorcist and The French Connection. The cast features American soprano Kristin Lewis who has been heralded for her remarkable voice, which she uses with powerful dramatic instinct (La Stampa), and Georgian mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili, whose Amneris dominates the stage with her dark, rounded, irresistible voice and extraordinary stage presence (La Gazzetta Musicale). Gianandrea Noseda leading the Orchestra and Chorus Teatro Regio Torino received accolaides from all: he controls everything- orchestra, singers, chorus, dancers, acrobats- with an all-encompassing overview. (La Stampa) he knows exactly when its time to linger over a timbre, a color, an expressive chord. (Corriere della Sera)

She both sings and acts with greal intensity. She is completely immersed in her role, from the moment when she first appears, above, and then descends a long slope with proud, majestic steps. A sense of Aida's tragic fate is conveyed to us at once by the expression in her eyes. Recorded in the Arena of Verona on 9 August 1966. Sung in Italian, with subtitles in English, French and Italian. With the Orchestra and Chorus of the Arena di Verona directed by Franco Capuana, and the Corps de Ballet of the Kirov Theatre. ...Verdi: Aida ( Aida )
