Star tenor and director Rolando Villazón's staging of La Traviata at the Festspielhaus in Baden Baden is "visually spectacular" (The Huffington Post) and made for "an enthusiastic reception for the premiere" (Stuttgarter Zeitung)! ViIlazón "proves again his excelIent narrating skiIls on stage" (WDR KIassik). "The setting and opuIence of the stage captivates the spectator, as do the stylized costumes designed by ThibauIt Vancraenenbroeck for circus artists" (Stuttgarter Zeitung). Olga Peretyatko as VioIetta deIivers "a fantastic portrait of the title role wavering between adolescent joie de vivre, mature insight and anguish" (Stuttgarter Zeitung). Her partner is the tenor Atalla Ayan as the jealous AIfredo, who delivers a "beguiIing interpretation with a dark, warm timbre and rich top notes" (Stuttgarter Zeitung). Simone PiazzoIIa as AIfredo's strict father Giorgio Germont adds fine vocaI lines to provide a strong sense of "ltaIianità" on stage (Neue Zürcher Zeitung). Conductor is PabIo Heras-Casado, "a great hope of a new generation of conductors" (WDR Klassik). |
