Today I have a test of Music History… They’re so many auditions, I’m studying Romantism and the only thing that will not appear in the test is opera… lol
I’m not prepared at all, my lucky is that I have a good memory and I can remember things that I heard in lessons :P
Wish me luck! xD
On Thursday and Friday is going to be the Internal Contest in my conservatory :)
Basically, I’m going to compete with my classmates, it’s more like an opportunity to prove ourselves and test our nerves in this kind of things :P
The judge is formed by our 3 sing teachers and 1 guest. This year, the guest is one of the best teachers of my country: António Salgado :) I’ve had an open day in the school where he teaches and he’s great, he’s similar to my teacher but he has other skills that my teacher doesn’t have. She is from the time where your experience at stage is everything, today the number of degrees that you have is what it counts…
So, this year I will sing:
Qualifying round:
1 antiche aria: Ergiti, Amor - A. Scarlatti
1 lied or chanson from XIX or XX century: Zitronenfalter im April - H. Wolf
1 portuguese song: Canção - Condessa de Proença-a-Velha
Final round:
1 aria from XVI, XVII or XVIII century: Zeffiretti lusinghieri - W. A. Mozart
1 oratorio: Farewell ye limpid springs - G. F. Händel
1 piece of our choice: Monica’s Waltz - G. C. Menotti
I think that it’s a versatile repertoire :)
Oh, I think that you need to look at this story making a relation with the time that it was written. It represents the bohemian but poor life that artists and bohemians of Paris had. This libretto suits perfectly in Verismo thoughts: show the reality of everyday life, mostly of the lower classes.
I like “La Bohème” but it’s not my favourite opera :P
I’m sorry. I don’t like this opera. Everytime I go and watch eyerone around tells me “Oh it’s so great, I always cry” - I don’t get it. I feel a bit weird, but except for the last dying bits (when Rodolfo realizes that Mimi is dead), I don’t feel moved. Because I don’t feel any connection to the…
I’m feeling pretty confident about the concert that I’m going to do with my teacher’s class on monday :)
We’re going to sing portuguese songs from 19th century portuguese composers, mostly from my city, Porto. These scores were found by my teacher in the library archives of my conservatory and they are barely known. I think that this is going to be an interesting concert :) We’ll do a solo song each one and lots of ensemble songs (duets, trios and little “choirs” :P )
This is going to be my first concert this year, I had been sick the 2 past months and monday my appointment with my ENT will decide if I’m well again or if I need to do something more…I’m hopeful that I’m fine again, I don’t have pain anymore :)
I’m very jeallous about people that have the opportunity to see this opera today, live or on stream, but I’m proud to tell that I’m going to listen this opera from the classical radio channel of my country, Antena 2! Sweet! :D
