Christina Poulitsi, Thomas Ebenstein, Teresa Romano join Felsner Artists
Greek soprano Christina Poulitsi has joined Felsner Artists for worldwide general management. Praised for her crystal clear coloraturas, high notes and warm lyric colour in all of her registers, Christina Poulitsi recently appeared in the title role of Lucia di Lammermoor at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden/Greek National Opera co-production and as Violetta in the Hamburg Staatsoper production of La Traviata, underlining her position as one of the most exciting sopranos of our time.
Also joining the roster of Felsner Artists is Italian mezzo-soprano Teresa Romano. "Amneris triumphs: Teresa Romano in the role of the Egyptian princess. She has got everything it takes for Amneris: charisma, a mezzo full of energy and a passion for aplomb.” (Münchner Merkur): The BBC Cardiff Singer of the Year 2013 finalist Teresa Romano, who had celebrated her début at Teatro alla Scala as a soprano at age 21, has become one of the most fascinating vocal artists of the Italian mezzo repertoire.
Austrian tenor Thomas Ebenstein has also joined Felsner Artists for worldwide general management. „Thomas Ebenstein as Mime in Rheingold was one of the highlights of the entire season“ (Opernmagazin) - „A phenomenally repulsive spy in Andrea Chenier“ (Wiener Zeitung): Tenor Thomas Ebenstein has established himself as one of the world's leading artists of his character tenor field. A member of the Vienna Staatsoper ensemble, he also appeared at the Metropolitan Opera, Bayerische Staatsoper, Berlin Staatsoper, Semperoper, and at Carnegie Hall and Berlin Philharmonie.
Stunning concert project about the Amazonian rain forest
Stunning concert project about the Amazonian rain forest, with music from Heitor Villa-Lobos to Philip Glass, conducted by the extraordinary Simone Menezes, with images by the legendary photographer Sebastião Salgado, created at Opéra de Rouen Normandie and soon at Philharmonie de Paris, then around the world: "With great attention to detail and deep understanding of orchestral colours, Simone Menezes made the music vibrate in the most intriguing fashion. And thus rose, before our ears, the Amazonian Forest. One would have thought that each note of the score was written precisely for this project for each of Salgado's photos as it was just then in front of our eyes. There are no words to describe the power of the connection between these images and this sound. A total osmosis persisted throughout the performance, thanks largely to the conducting by Simone Menezes - and what a discovery this artist is! - adding colour and shape to this project, without ever being superficial."
