Parterre Box

The operatically elusive Marianne Crebassa is in Parterre Box‘s spotlight this week ahead of La clemenza di Tito in Barcelona.

Anita Rachvelishvili and Saioa Hernandez are headed back to New York and this week’s Grand Tier Grab Bag features them together in a performance from July.

Iwona Sobotka, a favorite of Riccardo Muti, is this week’s featured Grand Tier Grab Bag artist

Tamara Wilson completes her first Ring Cycle as Brünnhilde next month, and Parterre Box celebrates with a clip of her in Siegfried.

Parterre Box draws your attention to another Macbeth taking the stage this month, the triple-threat baritone Luca Micheletti.

Parterre Box offers an (almost) comprehensive introduction to the sopranos headlining Mozart productions in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco this fall.

The open, skyward deliveries at the beginning and end of the aria as she addresses heaven! The mournful softness of her interceding “O mia Regina.”

The guttsiest, bitchiest, verismoist Amneris in my experience

Beth Taylor sings with her whole heart and soul and it is evident in the aria “Priva son d’ogni conforto” from Handel’s Giulio Cesare.

Singing truly becomes a living thing in Jennifer Larmore‘s remarkable voice and personality.

Ah, so many choices from my repertoire.

I went for Nilsson, but the star for me was the exceptional Mignon Dunn.
