Laura Tatulescu – Marzelline (Fidelio) la Cincinnati
http://www.cincinnatiopera.org/performances/...
Music by Ludwig van Beethoven
Libretto by Joseph Sonnleithner
A political prisoner, hidden from the world and thought dead by most. His heroic wife, driven by devotion to pose as a man and become a jailer’s assistant in hopes of meeting her beloved again. The villainous governor of the prison, racing to kill his secret before the king’s minster discovers the truth. Each will risk all to protect what they hold dearest.
Laura Tatulescu – Marzelline
July 7 & 9 • 7:30 p.m.
Aronoff Center for the Arts • Procter & Gamble Hall
Last performed by Cincinnati Opera in 1980, Beethoven’s only opera will be presented in a “timely and effective” production (Seattle Times). Described as the “true heir to the dramatic soprano repertory” (New York Times), Metropolitan Opera star Christine Goerke will sing the role of Leonora. Russell Thomas returns to Cincinnati Opera to lend his “strong, clarion voiced” (New York Times) tenor to the role of Florestan. “Impressive” (Cincinnati Enquirer) bass Nathan Stark appears as Rocco. Don Pizzaro will be sung by the Grammy Award-winning Nmon Ford.
