Rossini Opera Festival: Is comparison always the thief of joy?

This month, OperaVision takes you along the Adriatic Coast to the Rossini Opera Festival’s Accademia Rossiniana’s ‘Alberto Zedda’ in Pesaro. Three young artists negotiate their way through the packed auditions, develop their Rossini style and technique, and find ways to make roles truly their own. We learn what they are discovering from their Masterclass with Rosetta Cucchi, such as using Stanislavski techniques to develop their character and how they avoid giving a generic performance. We hear tips that help them approach not only their roles within the Rossini repertoire, but that will support how they develop and create all their operatic roles in the future.  View the OperaVision website here Watch now on Opera Vision Il Viaggio a Reims (from 18th August) BBC Cardiff Singer of the World  Frankfurt Opera Studio Soirée  Frankfurt Opera Studio Documentary  Opera for Peace Masterclasses with Ailyn Perez & Brian Jagde Cendrillon (Viardot) from the Young Artists at the Palau de Les Arts Centre de Perfeccionament  Music Extracts from Rossini's Il Viaggio a Reims at the Accademia Rossiniana (Cast A) 2022 Introduction & closing: Il Viaggio a Reims (opening) Di vaghi raggi adorno Soprano Maria Kokareva & Chorus  Io!
