這些天我在休斯敦Audition角色,剛好我老師(Catherine Cook) 也來Houston Grand Opera演出兩部歌劇,Charles Gounod: Faust (Jan. 20, 23, 26, 28m; Feb. 3, 2007 Evenings, 7:30 pm, Sunday Matinee, 2:00 pm )和Gioacchino Rossini: La Cenerentola (Jan. 27, 30; Feb. 4m, 7, 9, 11m, 2007 Evenings, 7:30 pm, Sunday Matinee, 2:00 pm)。有興趣的朋友可以到這兒http://www.houstongrandopera.org/ 搜查信息,也可以寫QQH給我. I would suggest if you choose one, to pick La Cenerentola, because it's a new production, and it's SO incredible!!!
Catherine Cook, mezzo-soprano
Tisbe, Rossini’s La Cenerentola
Dame Marthe, Gounod's Faust
American mezzo-soprano Catherine Cook has excelled in a wide range of roles with leading companies throughout the United States. The Cincinnati Post wrote that she "more than once recalled the great mezzo Marilyn Horne: her luxurious voice showed remarkable flexibility." Her exciting characterizations garner acclaim as well. A frequent presence at the War Memorial Opera House since her 1991 San Francisco Opera debut, Ms. Cook’s roles with the company include Tisbe in La Cenerentola, Marcellina in Le Nozze di Figaro, Berta in Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Emilia in Otello, Dorabella in Così fan tutte, Suzuki in Madama Butterfly, Florence Pike in Albert Herring, Lapák in The Cunning Little Vixen, Mrs. Sedley in Peter Grimes, Naina in Ruslan and Lyudmila, Second Norn in Götterdammerung, and Jade Boucher in the world premiere of Jake Heggie’s Dead Man Walking. After making her debut with the Metropolitan Opera in Kát’a Kabanová, she returned in the 2002-03 season for performances of Marthe in Faust,a role which she has also sung with Los Angeles Opera and Baltimore Opera.
她將在Rossini’s La Cenerentola這部歌劇裏扮演Tisbe
在歌劇Faust (by Gounod) 扮演 Dame Marthe
這幾天有她陪伴排練,或看她排練,一起討論或揣摩角色,跟大家開開玩笑,剛來時的寂寞被充實取代!她是一位好老師,好朋友,更是一位今日美國的Excellent歌劇演員!!!If you have chance to watch it , wish you enjoy these bravo productions !!!
