<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Satul de fotbal, si de 1-1 in Ghencea, m-am hotarit sa ascult a enspea oara, Traviata. Poate cea mai accesibila opera compusa vreodata si ca atare, cea mai populara si evident iubita. Opera compusa de Verdi pe un libret scris de Piave si inspirat de Dama cu camelii a lui Dumas fiul. Pe scurt, Violetta, o curtezana in Parisul inceputului de secol 18, se indragosteste de Alfredo si se muta cu asta undeva la dracu la tara, dar in vecinatatea Parisului. Tatal lui Alfredo, Giorgio Germont, om cu prejudecati si mindrie de familist, ii baga o vizita domnisoarei si-i spune cu frumosul, ''fa tirituro, lasa-l pe fi-meu in pace, in mortii ma-tii de curva si rade-o la babalicii care te-au intretinut pina acum'' (clipul de mai jos surprinde exact acest dialog). Violetta se da de ceasul mortii, si mai la figurat si mai la propriu, ca era tuberculoasa, dar pina la urma se supune si-l paraseste pe junior. Asta cind afla, face spume ca detergentul si la prima petrecere unde-o intilneste pe duduie, ii arunca-n fata o caramida (de bani) pentru a o injosi in fata celorlalti. Dar ghinionul lui e ca apare taica-sau care-i urla-n fata ''cine injoseste o femeie, indiferent de statutul ei, e un bou'' Boul, e afectat si-si cere scuze in vazul tuturor, punindu-si cenusa-ntre coarne. Ma rog, in final tuberculoza o rapune pe sarmana Violetta, rezolvind toate diferendele. Drama este arhicunoscuta iar ariile acestei opere sunt probabil cele mai frumoase si cele mai fredonate. Cele pe care le-am ales, Pura Siccome un Angelo (3:50) si Un di quando le veneri (7:50), nu sunt atit de populare, dar sunt la fel de pline de intensitate si cu linii melodice care pe mine personal, ma emotioneaza mai mult decit o femeie goala si rasa jos. Sunt absolut convins ca nimeni nu va fi surprins ca am ales clipul cu Netrebko, in rolul Violettei, cunoscut fiind faptul ca-i apreciez toate calitatile si dupa cum se poate vedea are destule, mai mult sau mai de loc, vocale. Vizionare si auditie placuta!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Mientras muchos estaban viendo la final de tenis de Roland Garros otros decidimos ir a la Opéra Bas]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">Mientras muchos estaban viendo la final de tenis de <strong>Roland Garros</strong> otros decidimos ir a la <strong>Opéra Bastille</strong> a disfrutar del <em>belcanto</em> belliniano de la mano de <strong>Joyce DiDonato</strong> y <strong>Anna Netrebko</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-989" src="http://gtltornt.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/capuleti.jpg" alt="" width="497" height="231" /><span style="font-size:x-small;">Foto: <strong>C. Leiber / ONP</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Gracias a un golpe de suerte conseguí una entrada para la última de las actuaciones de <strong>Anna Netrebko</strong> en su debut parisino y volver a ver a <strong>Joyce DiDonato</strong>. Una buenísima excusa para estrenarme en el moderno teatro <strong>Opéra Bastille</strong>. Mi localidad estaba en las últimas filas de platea y un bastante lateral pero la visión del escenario era excelente. Impresionante teatro que estaba lleno hasta los topes.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">La producción que vimos era la reposición de la primera de <strong>Robert Carsen</strong> para la <strong>ONP</strong>, de hace una década. Es minimalista, con pocos elementos escénicos, pero esta ópera no necesita más. En ella toman protagonismo las voces que es lo que manda en el <em>belcanto</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://gtltornt.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/escenari.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="135" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">El tenor estadounidense <strong>Matthew Polenzani</strong> como <em>Tebaldo</em>. Este papel tiene pasajes en el primer acto de compromiso vocal que superó con alguna dificultad. En el segundo acto, con menos pasajes comprometidos, estuvo mejor.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Giovanni Battista Parodi</strong> como<em> Capellio</em> fué sin duda lo más flojo de la noche. Su voz sonó gastada y con poco control. <strong>Mikhail Petrenko</strong> como <em>Lorenzo</em> cumplió sin más.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Ayer era la primera vez que escuchaba a <strong>Anna Netrebko</strong> en directo. La verdad es que su voz impresiona, llena el teatro sin esfuerzo. Lo mejor de la tarde fueron sin duda los pianísimos con los que nos deleitó. Dejó al teatro sin respiración. Quizá algunos puedan pensar que no es adecuada para cantar <em>belcanto</em> pero su dominio del instrumento y su talento son incuestionables.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Joyce DiDonato</strong> estuvo espléndida en su papel de <em>Romeo</em>. Entiende perfectamente qué es belcanto y lo aplica. Su legato y su fraseo son inmejorables. Además la tratarse de <em>belcanto</em> el papel de <em>Romeo</em> tiene esas partes agudas que van muy bien a su voz. Las muchas demandas que hay en la parte media y baja creo que también las supera estupendamente.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">La dirección musical de <strong>Evelino Pidó</strong> estuvo muy bien, siempre pendiente de lo que sucedía en el escenario y acompañando a los cantantes en todo momento.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Al final grandes ovaciones y toda la platea en pie para saludar a las dos grandes triunfadoras de la tarde, aunque sólo salieron a saludar dos veces. En otros teatros que conozco hubiéramos tenido para rato.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="/2008/06/08/garanca-netrebko-cantan-bellini/">En el post de ayer comentamos quién podría complementarse mejor con la <strong>Netrebko</strong></a>, yo todavía no lo tengo muy claro. Ambas me gustan mucho y me veo incapaz de elegir, tanto la <strong>Garanča</strong> como la <strong>DiDonato</strong> tienen sus virtudes. Quizá debiera agenciarme unas entradas para <strong>I Capuleti e i Montecchi</strong> de la próxima temporada de la <strong>ROH</strong> y decidir con más fundamento, si es que se puede.<strong><br />
</strong>
</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Sólo puedo decir que la <strong>Netrebko</strong> y la <strong>DiDonato</strong> estuvieron muy comprenetadas en sus dúos. El timbre casi sopranil de la <strong>DiDonato</strong> me parece que se complementa muy bien con la densidad y contundencia de la voz de la <strong>Netrebko</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Lo bueno de este reparto es la posibilidad de escuchar a la <strong>Netrebko</strong> junto a otras mezzos porque me parece que el emparejamiento discográfico de la <strong>Netrebko</strong> y la <strong>Garanča</strong> parece que va a ser equiparable a los de los años 50 y 60.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>El reciente debut como <em>Romeo</em> de <strong>Elina Garanča</strong> en <strong>I Capuleti e i Montecchi</strong> de <strong>Bellini</strong>, el pasado <strong>Marzo</strong> en <strong>Riga</strong>, fué un ensayo para un concierto muy esperado en <strong>Viena</strong>, con las entradas agotadas meses antes. La versión de concierto de la ópera con <strong>Elina Garanča</strong> junto <strong>Anna Netrebko</strong>, como <em>Giuletta</em>, y <strong>Joseph Calleja</strong>, como <em>Tebaldo</em>, dirigidos por <strong>Fabio Luisi</strong> fué grabada por <strong>Deutsche Grammophon</strong> y saldrá el año que viene en CD.</p>
<p>Escuchémoslas en el dúo <span><strong>Crudel, d'onor ragioni</strong>, del concierto de <strong>Viena</strong> que comentamos.</span><span><br />

<p>En Marzo y Abril del próximo año, con <strong>Anna Netrebko</strong> libre de embarazo, podremos ver a ambas en el escenario de la <strong>ROH</strong> como <em>Romeo</em> y <em>Giuletta</em> en una producción que se grabará en vídeo.</p>
<p><strong>Anna Netrebko</strong> debutaba el pasado 24 de Mayo en la <strong>ONP </strong>con el papel de <em>Giuletta</em>, esta vez junto a<strong> Joyce DiDonato</strong>, que a su vez debutaba el papel de <em>Romeo</em>.</p>
<p>¿Con qué <em>Romeo</em> me debo quedar, con el de la <strong>Garanča</strong> o con el de la <strong>DiDonato</strong>? ¿Cuál de las dos voces se complementa mejor con la de la <strong>Netrebko</strong>?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:right;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://parterre.com/uploaded_images/queen-hearts.gif" alt="" border="0" />The Met officially <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hmQ1-bsJyNxQF_gfYSMdjwnOehiQD8UGGLL80">announced</a> today that the company will stage <span style="font-style:italic;">Anna Bolena </span>for <span style="font-weight:bold;">Anna Netrebko</span> for the opening night of the 2011-2012 season (<a href="http://parterre.com/2008/01/anna-as-anna.html">old news</a> to you, cher public!) and, the following season, <span style="font-style:italic;">Maria Stuarda </span>for <span style="font-weight:bold;">Joyce DiDonato</span>.</p>
<p>The company has no current plans to produce <span style="font-style:italic;">Roberto Devereux</span>. In what La Cieca is choosing to consider a stinging slap in the face to -- well, at least one soprano -- <span style="font-weight:bold;">Peter Gelb</span> explained, "The problem is casting ....There's no singer around today who can sing [Elisabetta]."</p>
<p>And you may make what you will of la Netrebko's statement about the <span style="font-style:italic;">Bolena</span>: "Fortunately, it's far enough in the future that I'll have time to learn it really well."</p>

Puppylicious Flórez is pictured here with Latin Grammy winner <strong>Gian Marco</strong>, with whom he shared the stage for a benefit concert for UNICEF last year. (Admittedly, that concert has nothing to do with the current news, but La Cieca wanted an excuse to run this photo.)</p>
<p>In breaking news also relating to puppyliciousness, the renaissance of <strong>Rolando Villazón</strong>'s career will extend into a new medium when the tenor begins principal photography for the role of Rodolfo in a film version of <em>La bohème</em> opposite the Mimi of (who else?) <strong>Anna Netrebko</strong>. According to La Cieca's source, the pair pre-recorded their music for the movie last year and will begin their on-set lip-synching duties within the month.</p>

<p>I dag har jeg lyttet til ovenstående CD med highlights fra <a href="http://www.styriarte.com/harnoncourt/index_en.php" target="_blank">Nikolaus Harnoncourt</a>s udgave af Mozarts "Figaros bryllup" med bl.a. Ildebrando D'Arcangelo, Bo Skovhus og Anna Netrebko. Og jeg var ikke imponeret. Sangerne gør et næsten ok stykke arbejde, cirka, men ikke noget at skrive hjem om -- men Wiener-filharmonikerne lyder, som om de hellere ville være et andet sted. Og at de allerede åndeligt har pakket deres respektive habengut. Gad vide, tænkte jeg, mens jeg hørte "Sinfonia", om dirigent Harnoncourt ikke er mødt på arbejde til tiden? Hvilket, altså dén fornemmelse - hvis man ikke er vant til at lytte til klassisk musik - kun meget sjældent er et godt tegn. Kan jeg oplyse. Nedtur.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gorzelak.wordpress.com/files/2008/01/manon_1.jpg" title="manon_1.jpg"><img src="http://gorzelak.wordpress.com/files/2008/01/manon_1.jpg" alt="manon_1.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Det er ikke mærkeligt, at Anna Netrebko har taget hele verden med storm, at hun sælger millionsvis af CDer og DVDer og trækker fulde huse o.s.v. Hun synger fint, hun er køn, og hun er - ikke mindst - gevaldig charmerende. På en scene.</p>
<p>DR2 sendte nu til aften Massenets "Manon, dirigeret af Barenboim og med Netrebko og stjernetenor <a href="http://www.rolandovillazon.com/" target="_blank">Rolando Villazón</a> i de to hovedpartier som hhv. Manon og Des Grieux. Og "Manon" er lige præcis sådan, som dumme folk går rundt og påstår, at pornofilm altid er ... Ikke pornofilm. Operaer. At de allesammen er ens. Historien er komplet håbløs og romanblads-agtig, og søreme om ikke heltinden, Manon, til sidst dør i heltens arme. Men Villazón, Netrebko og Barenboim fik - får - imponerende meget ud af det relativt tynde materiale. For eksempel en hel del sex:</p>
<p><a href="http://gorzelak.wordpress.com/files/2008/01/manon_3.jpg" title="manon_3.jpg"><img src="http://gorzelak.wordpress.com/files/2008/01/manon_3.jpg" alt="manon_3.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Her - syn(t)es jeg - opførelsens frækkeste:</p>
<p><a href="http://gorzelak.wordpress.com/files/2008/01/manon_2.jpg" title="manon_2.jpg"><img src="http://gorzelak.wordpress.com/files/2008/01/manon_2.jpg" alt="manon_2.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Des Grieux har skrevet et brev til sin fader, og den 16-årige Manon - den 36-årige Netrebko - snupper det fra ham, placerer det strategisk i sit skød og beder  elskeren læse det højt. Der var - er - i dén situation sikkert nok materiale til en enkelt, lacansk antologi. Eller flere.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cher public, La Cieca meant to turn in early tonight, but she got one of those bees in her bonnet. This particular specimen of <span style="font-style:italic;">Apis mellifera</span> is the "debacle" (as La Cieca has been astonished to see it termed) of <span style="font-weight:bold;">Anna Netrebko</span>'s Juliette last Saturday afternoon. Such harsh criticism La Cieca has rarely heard since the infamous <span style="font-weight:bold;">Renata Scotto </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Norma.  </span>Even La Cieca's own bitchery about <b>Renée Fleming </b>never (well, rarely) reached such heights of dudgeon.</p>
<p><img style="float:right;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://parterre.com/uploaded_images/anna-786914.jpg" alt="" border="0" />La Cieca should remind herself that much of this <span style="font-style:italic;">accidie </span><span>springs from</span> <a href="http://listserv.cuny.edu/Scripts/wa.exe?S2=OPERA-L&#38;X=69116524277415D3D8&#38;Y=lacieca%40parterre.com&#38;q=netrebko&#38;s=&#38;f=&#38;a=today-7&#38;b="><span>opera-l</span></a><span style="font-style:italic;">, </span><span>which most of the time is a valuable resource and all that, but it does seem to be a haven for every tongue-clucking old maid still hunched over her Philco every Saturday afternoon during the broadcast season. (Some of them predate Texaco, La Cieca thinks.) Anyway, the consensus over at opera-l is that Netrebko is kaput, over, finished -- that is, assuming she was ever anything to start with. The <span style="font-style:italic;">Roméo et Juliette</span> has been called "failure" and even (yes!) "debacle." Admittedly , La Cieca occasionally amuses herself by throwing those terms (including the "d" word) around indiscriminately, but she has the defense that nobody with half a brain takes her babbling seriously anyway.  On the other hand, La Cieca has her doubts that everybody over at opera-l shares her sense of light-hearted irony in these things.</p>
<p>Look. La Cieca regards herself as a very critical listener, but she simply cannot discern any "debacle" or even "failure" in last week's <span style="font-style:italic;">Roméo </span>performance. Netrebko was admittedly somewhat off her best form at the beginning of the opera.  She did have a minor crack on the high D in her first cadenza, and for most of the performance her voice sounded a bit cloudy and thick compared to what La Cieca (and, you, of course, cher public) have heard on Sirius and in the theater earlier this season.</p>
<p>La Cieca hesitates to jump to the conclusion that this one performance indicates an inevitable downward spiral toward ruin for Ms. Netrebko. She prefer to take the more cautious position that Netrebko was simply having a "B" voice day instead of her customary "A." The cause may have been nerves, or a mild case of acid reflux, or a minor allergy attack, or (who knows?) she may have been starting her period on Saturday. The point is, nerves and all the rest (including even dysmenhorrhea) don't last forever.</p>
<p>As, it so happens, tonight's Sirius broadcast neatly indicates. La Cieca tuned in at the beginning of the second act to hear Netrebko in fine fettle. Your doyenne will note also that in the bedroom duet tonight Netrebko is singing with a lighter tone and softer dynamics than she did opposite <span style="font-weight:bold;">Roberto Alagna</span> --  the better to blend with <span style="font-weight:bold;">Joseph Kaiser</span>'s less aggressive approach, one assumes.</p>
<p>Well, enough scolding.  A recent <a href="http://www.typicallyspanish.com/news/publish/article_14166.shtml">news story</a> about <span style="font-weight:bold;">Antonio Banderas</span>' directing <span style="font-style:italic;">Carmen </span>got La Cieca to thinking: how long before <span style="font-weight:bold;">Angela Gheorghiu</span> backs out of the <a href="http://parterre.com/2007/10/bizarre-and-nondescript-characters.html">projected Met production</a> of the Bizet opera -- and how thrilling it would be if Netrebko could be persuaded to jump in!</p>
<p>Oh, and just so you don't think La Cieca has completely abandoned her position as Sultana of the Soupcons, here's a tidbit. Your doyenne hears that among <strike>Netrebko's</strike> la Gheorghiu's upcoming projects (besides that unlikely <span style="font-style:italic;">Carmen</span> and the perhaps even unlikelier <span style="font-style:italic;">Ghosts of Versailles</span>) is a complete recording of Giordano's <span style="font-style:italic;">Fedora </span>opposite (who else) <span style="font-weight:bold;">Placido Domingo</span>.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Controversial soprano Anna Netrebko has gone on record categorically denying recent rumors that she]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:right;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" alt="" src="http://parterre.com/uploaded_images/monger-735942.png" border="0" />Controversial soprano <strong>Anna Netrebko</strong> has gone on record categorically denying recent rumors that she... is a lesbian? (My dears, La Cieca has been out of the dating pool for a while, but even she wouldn't mistake <strong><a href="http://parterre.com/2007/12/bells-are-ringing.html">Erwin Schrott</a></strong> for a girl!)</p>
<p>Well, my dear Sapphic comrades, all La Cieca can say is, you win some, you lose some. Really, girls, how many toaster ovens does one actually need? After all, this week, your team got <strong>Jodie Foster</strong> plus a first-round draft pick for <strong>Queen Latifah</strong>. But, sorry ladies, no Netrebko for you! As blogged by <a href="http://operachic.typepad.com/opera_chic/2007/12/anna-netrebko-a.html"><strong>Opera Chic</strong></a> earlier today, our Anna asserted, "Ein für alle Mal: Ich bin nicht lesbisch!"</p>
<p>It should perhaps be noted that she -- Anna, that is, not Opera Chic -- was speaking to a journalist from the glossy German-language celeb mag <em><a href="http://www.bunte.de/society/anna-netrebko_aid_2054.html">Bunte</a></em> at the time. Presumably the declaration would hold up in any language: "Once and for all, I'm not a Gay!"</p>
<p>It seems that there were rumors swirling around Anna since she has been palling around (though not <em>gal</em>-palling around!) with out lesbian pop singer <strong>Lucy Diakovska</strong> from the band No Angels. La Netrebko explained to <em>Bunte </em>"We went out for a meal together. We happened to meet at a television taping and got along well. I was a huge fan of No Angels and Lucy loves opera. You shouldn't make anything more of it."</p>
<p>The article goes on to say that Netrebko is 36, which would suggest that the rest of the piece is fairly accurate. And, to tell the truth, that's about the whole story, except that <em>Bunte</em> posted a lavish photo gallery of Netrebkiana, with captions that don't always relate to the image. Well, anyway, this is what I mean:
<p align="center"><img src="http://parterre.com/anna_gesang.png" /></p>
<p>In a related story, <strong>Renée Fleming</strong> announced earlier today that she plans attend the Westminister Kennel Club Dog Show show as the guest of <strong>Camille Paglia</strong>.</p>

<description><![CDATA[It seems a little sacrilege to  suggest seeing any opera company besides the Wiener Staatsoper when]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems a little sacrilege to  suggest seeing any opera company besides the Wiener Staatsoper when in the city of Mozart, Lehar, Beethoven and Strauss (in short, the City of Music), however this Sunday will be a worthwhile exception for a handful of reasons.  The first two are named <a href="http://www.annanetrebko.com/" title="Anna Netrebko">Anna Netrebko</a> and Roberto Alagna, two of today's hottest opera singers.  For prices hovering around 30 Euro, you can get a world-class seat and see a simulcast of the Metropolitan Opera's matinee production of <em>Romeo et Giuliette</em> (Gounod) for a fraction of what a house seat would cost.  The familiar story is set to beautiful music and broadcast live in high definition, and while it'll be a matinee in New York, it's the perfect evening show in Europe.</p>
<p>For those of you who are new to opera, this is a great chance to try it out without suffering a nosebleed from high-up-there seats or feeling any pressure (you can always leave, the seats are comfier, popcorn is totally allowed, and there will be fun intermissions to boot).  Vienna, of course, is not the only city broadcasting on Sunday, either.  While in Europe, if you're in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, or the United Kingdom, chances are you'll be close to a screening.  Check out the official list <a href="http://www.metoperafamily.org/metopera/broadcast/hd_events_alternates.aspx" title="Met HD Simulcast Listings">here</a>, which will also allow you to book in advance online.</p>
<p>And if you're hooked afterwards, then you're in the perfect city to check out the <a href="http://www.staatsoper.at/Content.Node2/en/index.php" title="Wiener Staatsoper">real deal</a>.</p>

Did we just give away the ending?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.jyske-opera.dk/zmain/default.asp?" target="_blank">Den Jyske Opera</a> har allerede offentliggjort det nye <a href="http://www.jyske-opera.dk/zmain/default.asp?" target="_blank">program for 2008-2009</a>. Blandt meget andet godt, kommer Donizettis pragtfulde opera Elskovsdrikken - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27elisir_d%27amore" target="_blank">L´elisir d´amore</a>. Der er længe til, men jeg blev simpelthen så jublende glad, at jeg straks må skrive et indlæg om denne opera. Jeg har aldrig oplevet Den Jyske Opera, men det kan da være at vi skal en tur til Århus.</p>
<p>Elskovsdrikken er en komisk opera. Den er virkelig morsom og Donizettis musik er fantastisk. Da jeg så den på Det Kongelige Teater for mange år siden, blev jeg så begejstret, at jeg måtte se den to gange på to uger. Den er så menneskelig og psykologisk set er det en genial kærlighedskomedie.</p>
<p>Den lidt dumme Nemorino er forelsket i den dejlige Adina. Hun læser og studerer og hun er så klog. Den generte Nemorino går og sukker af længsel efter hende, mens hun griner af ham sammen med alle de andre i den lille landsby.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/bHfiIeIqQkk'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/bHfiIeIqQkk&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>(De tre videoer jeg har fundet, er alle med <a href="http://www.rolandovillazon.com/" target="_blank">Rolando Villazón</a> og <a href="http://www.annanetrebko.com/home.shtml" target="_blank">Anna Nebtrebko</a> i en opsætning fra <a href="http://www.wiener-staatsoper.at/Content.Node2/intro.php" target="_blank">Wiener Staatsoper</a> i 2005.)</p>
<p>Snart ankommer den utiltalende officer Belcore med sit kompagni. Belcore er ikke genert som Nemorino, men gør straks kur til Adina. Naturligvis forelsker hun sig i den selvsikre og arrogante mand med den flotte uniform. Der er overhovedet ingen tvivl om hans skumle hensigter, men Adina kaster sig i armene på ham og de bliver straks forlovede, mens stakkels Nemorino er ved at dø af jalousi.</p>
<p>Så kommer kvaksalveren Doktor Dulcamara til den lille landsby. Han hævder at hans miksturer kan kurere alt og de tåbelige folk i landsbyen køber alle hans produkter. Nemorino har hørt om elskovsdrikken fra historien om Tristan og Isolde. Dulcamara hævder, at det er ham som har lavet elskovsdrikken. Han sælger Nemorino en almindelig flaske rødvin, mens han tænker, at han har mødt mange dumme mennesker, men ingen så dum som Nemorino. Den udspekulerede Dulcamara fortæller ham, at elskovsdrikken først virker om 24 timer – han skal lige sikre sig, at han er ude af byen før nogen opdager hans svindel.</p>
<p>Nemorino begynder at drikke og straks vokser hans selvtillid. Sådan er det når mænd drikker. Det kan man opleve på ethvert værtshus. Nemorino bliver mere og mere fuld, men han er glad og munter, for nu vil den dejlige Adina snart elske ham. Adina bemærker forandringen med Nemorino og hun undrer sig. I stedet for at være trist og sukke af længsel efter hende, så er han pludselig lystig og særdeles opstemt.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/pI3mcpuywo0'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/pI3mcpuywo0&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Adina begynder at blive bekymret over denne munterhed. Har hun mistet sin tilbeder? Det gør ondt og det sårer hendes forfængelighed. For at gøre ham jaloux, beslutter hun, at hun vil giftes med Belcore om seks dage. Da Nemorino hører det, griner han selvsikkert, for han har elskovsdrikken og tror på at Adina snart er hans. Adina bliver rasende, da Nemorino ikke bliver ulykkelig som hun havde planlagt.</p>
<p>Så får Belcore besked om, at kompaniet skal forlade landsbyen dagen efter. Adina ser at Nemorino bliver nervøs, da Belcore foreslår bryllup allerede samme dag. Nu vil hun hævne sig på den troløse tilbeder og accepterer derfor Belcores forslag.</p>
<p>Nemorino opsøger igen Dulcamara. Nemorino vil elskes straks og kan ikke længere vente til dagen efter. Han er jo nødt til at vinde Adinas kærlighed, inden hun gifter sig med Belcore. Dulcamara vil sælge ham endnu en flaske af elskovsdrikken, men Nemorino har ikke flere penge. Han lader sig hverve til soldat af Belcore og får straks de penge han har brug for. Nu kan han vinde Adinas kærlighed, men må desværre forlade hende allerede næste dag, sammen med militæret.</p>
<p>Samtidig rygtes det, at Nemorinos rige onkel er død og han har arvet en forfærdelig masse penge. Det ved alle pigerne i landsbyen, undtagen Adina, og de kaster sig over Nemorino. Den tåbelige og grinagtige Nemorino er pludselig et godt parti. Nemorino ved ikke at hans onkel er død, men tror blot at elskovsdrikken virker.</p>
<p>Adina ser at alle pigerne er vilde efter Nemorino, og Dulcamara fortæller hende, at han danser og flirter med dem alle sammen. Den tåbelige Dulcamara er så imponeret, at han ligefrem begynder at tro på sin egen eliksir. Men Adina bliver jaloux og opdager endelig, at hun er forelsket i Nemorino. Da hun ser alle de andre piger omkring ham, bliver hun så trist at hun går. Nemorino tror at han har set en lille tåre i hendes øjne og tænker, at nu elsker hun ham. Han er så lykkelig, at han er lige ved at dø.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/UUI8rpMzsC8'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/UUI8rpMzsC8&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Adina køber Nemorinos kontrakt tilbage fra Belcore. Da hun giver ham kontrakten, forventer han, at hun også vil indrømme sin kærlighed, men det gør hun ikke og han bliver så skuffet, at han vil slet ikke vil have den. Nu bliver han trodsig som et lille barn. Når hun ikke elsker ham, så vil han følge med Belcores kompani og dø i krigen. Men truslen virker. Endelig overgiver hun sig og indrømmer åbent sin kærlighed.</p>
<p>L´elisir d´amore er en festlig og særdeles underholdende opera. Jeg ved naturligvis ikke hvordan opsætning bliver, men det kan næsten ikke blive andet end godt. Trods alt det absurde, synes jeg at operaen er dybt troværdig. Hvem kender ikke en kvinde som den lunefulde Adina, der gør mændene helt tossede med sine udspekulerede intriger? Eller en mand som Nemorino, tåbelig og naiv, men trofast og ærlig? Hvem har ikke prøvet at føle sig lige så hjælpeløs, som Nemorino overfor Adina? Og hvem kender ikke en skørtejæger som Belcore? Han bliver ikke engang skuffet da Adina svigter ham, for der er jo tusinde og atter tusinde kvinder som venter på at blive erobret. Alle disse personer er så genkendelige. Mennesker har ikke ændret sig meget, siden <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaetano_Donizetti" target="_blank">Gaetano Donizetti</a> skrev denne pragtfulde opera i 1832. Musikken er én lang perlerække af enestående højdepunkter og der er ikke et eneste kedeligt øjeblik. Har man aldrig været i operaen, så er Elskovsdrikken en fantastisk opera at begynde med.</p>
<p>Jeg har også skrevet om dejlige Anna Netrebko <a href="http://jensdrejer.wordpress.com/2007/10/11/yndlingsdiva-anna-netrebko/">her</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:right;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" alt="Ken Howard/Metropolitan Opera" src="http://parterre.com/uploaded_images/romeo_again-745396.jpg" border="0" />Of course, cher public, you heard it about it here a <a href="http://parterre.com/2007/09/la-cieca-predicted-cast-change.html">few weeks ago</a>, but La Cieca has just read a press release from the Met announcing that, yes indeed, <strong>Roberto Alagna</strong> will reprise his Roméo opposite <strong>Anna Netrebko</strong> on December 12 and 15. (Our Own Gualtier Maldè, as you no doubt recall, confirmed the rumor when he spoke to Alagna after <em><a href="http://parterre.com/2007/10/bobby-takes-one-for-team.html">Aida</a></em> on Tuesday night.) The December 15 matinee of <em>Roméo et Juliette</em> is the first of this season's "Live in High Definition" transmissions to movie theaters around the world.</p>
<p><strong>Joseph Kaiser</strong> is Roméo on December 8 and 20, and finishing up the batting order will be <strong>Matthew Polenzani</strong> on December 27 and 31.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nunca se sabe lo que se puede encontrar uno en <a href="http://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank"><strong>YouTube</strong></a>, la cosa es dejarse llevar y encontrar entre los miles de vídeos subidos algo que nos guste o nos llame la atención.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:right;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://parterre.com/uploaded_images/treb_villazon-787060.jpg" border="0" alt="" />As La Cieca <a href="http://parterre.com/2007/08/wherefore.html">whispered</a> earlier this week, <span style="font-weight:bold;">Rolando Villazón </span>is going to cancel at least the fall portion of his Met <em>Roméo</em> engagement. This morning <a href="http://www.playbillarts.com/news/article/6913.html">PlaybillArts.com</a> says the <i>Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</i> is <a href="http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07222/808342-388.stm">reporting</a> a statement from the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra that the tenor is "ill and has been instructed by his doctor to cancel all performances for the next two to three months in order to make a complete recovery."</p>
<p>In happier news, <span style="font-weight:bold;">Anna Netrebko</span>'s lissome larynx seems to be healing nicely, thank you. The diva (reports <a href="http://www.playbillarts.com/news/article/6914.html">PlaybillArts</a>) plans to go ahead with a four-city German tour this month, albeit minus partner Villazón. Subbing opposite the soprano in various venues will be <span style="font-weight:bold;">Marcelo Álvarez</span>, <span style="font-weight:bold;">José Cura</span> and <span style="font-weight:bold;">Ramón Vargas</span>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>La semana pasada la cadena <a href="http://www.arte.tv/" target="_blank"><strong>Arte</strong></a> retransmitió en diferido la <strong>Manon</strong> del <strong>UDL</strong>, con la <a href="http://www.annanetrebko.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Netrebko</strong></a> y <a href="http://www.rolandovillazon.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Villazón</strong></a>. Para compararla con <a href="/2007/03/12/alagna-como-des-grieux-wso/">la del mes de marzo de la <strong>WSO</strong> con la <strong>Netrebko</strong> y <strong>Alagna</strong></a> dejo dos fragmentos para comparar.</p>
