The magnetic prima Maria Kallas has changed the idea of what is possible to achieve on the opera stage – she has combined acting and singing into one whole. Maria Callas had a special connection with Paris – she lived in this city and died on September 16, 1977 at the age of 53.
At the end of the concert Art lives the program is already known. It will be revealed by the recording of Maria Callas herself, which was made at the Garnier Palace in 1958 – her performance will sound an aria A voice just now from Gioachino Rossini Barbershop of Seville. Sondra Radvanovska will sing Chaste Diva from Vincenzo Bellini Standards, You come! hurry up! from Giuseppe Verdi Makbeta, Alone, lost, abandoned from Giacomo Puccini Manonas Lesko and at the end of the evening – Art lives from Puccini Toskas.
Prithiya Jende has been entrusted with the aria Madness!… madness!… not verdi Traviat and Ah! I didn’t think I was looking at you not Bellini You sleepwalk. Elina Garanča will perform two famous arias – My heart opens to your voice for Kamila Sensānsa Samson and Delilah and O don fatale not verdi Dona Karlosa.
Kate Lindsay, accompanied by pianist Florence Boisola, will perform a composition by contemporary composer Jake Hagee The last monologuewhich uses text from Terence McNally’s play Master class.
Actress Karola Buquet will read Maria Callas’ letters and memories and texts written about the singer, including an opening monologue from McNally Master classes. Former Paris Opera Ballet star Marie Agnes Gillot will dance a solo number directed by choreographer Nicolas Paul, featuring an aria Well? I’ll go far away from Alfredo Catalani’s opera In Valli.
“Only a few artists have had as much influence on society as Maria Callas – not only in her field and during her life, but for a long time. She has influenced the performing arts in general. On the day when her centenary is celebrated, I think it is important to remember Maria Callas and her creativity, involving only female artists in the concert.We will honor her amazing talent and legacy not only with the participation of great singers, but also theater and dance artists – thanks to their passion and ability to fully devote themselves to art, they, like Maria Callas, intuitively feel how to thrill the audience,” concert director Roberts Karsen emphasizes.
“Maria Callas is still loved and present in all areas of culture. She brought modernity and vibrancy to everything she touched. Her importance lies in her intuitive and instinctive ability to feel the essential and connect with both the physical and spiritual dimensions. The immense respect with which the singer treated audience, was not related to the admiration that the audience showed her, but rooted in the true love with which Maria Callas communicated with the audience. She lived and perhaps also died in the name of art. The final concert dedicated to her will remind us how precious and unique a gift talent and how lucky we are to have institutions like the Paris Opera helping us keep that flame alive,” adds Robert Carsen.
This will be a charity evening where the proceeds will be directed to the operation of the Paris Opera.
