Conductor:
Gianluca MarcianòFeaturing:
Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra -
The programme for tonight’s concert spans four and a half decades: from the 1859 premiere of Faust to 1904, the year when Madama Butterfly, after initially bombing, swiftly proved a triumph. It features key moments and some of the greatest hits of 19th- and early 20th-century French and Italian operatic literature, with a special focus on the irresistible – but nearly impossible, often with lethal results – attraction between the soprano and tenor characters. Taking on these predominantly ill-fated heroes and heroines this evening are two rising stars of the international opera world both still in their thirties: Jonathan Tetelman and Carolina López Moreno.

Today, both count among the most sought-after artists of their generation. Born in Chile but raised in the United States, Tetelman made his highly successful debuts at the Vienna State Opera and in Los Angeles last season, and achieved a memorable success in a concert performance of Tosca in Rome conducted by Daniel Harding. This season, the tenor will also be playing the title roles in runs of Faust in Munich and Werther in Zurich, among many other portrayals.
As for López Moreno, the soprano grew up in Germany as the child of an Albanian mother and a Bolivian father. Richly endowed with star quality, she got the chance to portray Leonora in Il trovatore under the baton of Zubin Mehta before making her London debut last December in the female lead of Puccini’s rarely performed opera La rondine, with Antonio Pappano conducting. She will close out this year as Mimì in a run of La bohème in Florence, before the season takes her to Barcelona’s Liceu and the New National Theatre in Tokyo, among other stages.
Conducting the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra – founded in 1853, and therefore Hungary’s oldest symphonic ensemble – tonight will be an Italian musician with a wide repertoire and vast opera experience: Gianluca Marcianò.
