Vivica Genaux
美国花腔次女高音歌唱家。主要演绎巴洛克时期的作品。代表专辑有《Arias for Farinelli》等。
Hailing from Alaska, America's 'last frontier,' the thrilling mezzo-soprano VIVICA GENAUX continues to earn accolades from audiences and critics alike for her enthralling performances on the world's greatest stages, praise focusing on both the unique beauty of her voice and the astounding brilliance of her technique, which combine to create unforgettable portraits of some of the most engaging characters in opera. Consistently lauded as one of the pre-eminent interpreters of Baroque and bel canto music, she continues to explore new avenues in these repertories.
During the 2013 - 2014 Season, Vivica continues to balance her appearances in the United States and abroad with operatic engagements, concerts, and recitals in new venues and locales, in addition to returns to favorite cities and institutions with which she has enjoyed triumphs in past seasons. This season, she expands her repertory with three of the most intriguing rôles in opera: Dido in Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, Manlio in Antonio Vivaldi's Tito Manlio, and Sesto in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's La clemenza di Tito. These parts will bring her repertory to a total of fifty-six rôles, of which thirty-six are travesti rôles. She will also sing Vagaus in Vivaldi's oratorio Juditha triumphans, as well as three of her bel canto specialties: Angelina in Rossini's La Cenerentola, Isabella in Rossini's L'Italiana in Algeri, and Romeo in Bellini's I Capuleti ed i Montecchi. She will also make her début with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Along with her numerous appearances throughout the world, Vivica will celebrate the release of two new recordings during the 2013 - 2014 Season, both on labels within the Sony family. In November 2013, deutsche harmonia mundi will release her recording of Johann Adolph Hasse's opera Marc'Antonio e Cleopatra. Later in the season, Sony Classical will release Baroque Divas, a disc celebrating the vocal glories of the rivalry between Faustina Bordoni and Francesca Cuzzoni. In this release, Vivica lends her talents to a quartet of today's Baroque leading ladies
Vivica launches her 2013 - 2014 Season on 20 September with the first of her new rôles, Manlio in Vivaldi's Tito Manlio, at France's Festival d'Ambronay. She returns to the United States for a much-anticipated private concert with Miami-based Seraphic Fire on 12 October. A week later, on 19 October, she will make her début 'south of the border' with a performance of Baroque arias with Lars Ulrik Mortensen and his Concerto Copenhagen for Guanajuato, Mexico's Festival Cervantino. Vivica will bid farewell to 2013 in Vienna, where she will reprise one of her 'calling card' rôles, Angelina in Rossini's La Cenerentola, at the Wiener Staatsoper (23, 27, and 30 December).
Vivica will ring in the new year alongside frequent collaborators soprano Simone Kermes, Cappella Gabetta, and conductor André Gabetta with performances of a fascinating new program paying homage to the fierce but artistically productive rivalry between Eighteenth-Century powerhouses Faustina Bordoni and Francesca Cuzzoni. Exploring the rich legacy of music composed for these superstars of Baroque opera by Bononcini, Giacomelli, Händel, Hasse, Leo, Lotti, Porpora, Porta, and Sarro, the program will be premièred on 16 January at Schloss Elmau in Bavaria, with subsequent presentations scheduled for later in the 2013 - 2014 season and beyond. Her first performances of the rôle of the firebrand Sesto in Mozart's La clemenza di Tito will take her to the Teatro Calderón in Valladolid, Spain (29, 31 January, 2 February). Vivica is also excited to appear for the first time with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which will accompany her in concerts of jewels from her Baroque repertory under the direction of Nicholas McGegan on 13 and 18 February. March finds her in Spain for a performance of Tito Manlio at Madrid's Auditorio Nacional (23 March). Again joining forces with Maestro McGegan, Vivica joins the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra for performances of Vivaldi's Juditha triumphans, in which she sings the rôle of Vagaus throughout the San Francisco Bay Area (2, 4, 5, and 6 April). Her final new rôle of the 2013 - 2014 season is that of the ill-fated Queen of Carthage, Dido, in Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, whom she will introduce to the public via a production by Opéra de Rouen Haute-Normandie, first at the Company's home base in Rouen (9, 10, 11, and 13 May) and later at the Opera House of the Château de Versailles (14 and 15 June). Between her outings as Dido, she will sing the rôle of another star-crossed lover, Romeo in Bellini's I Capuleti ed i Montecchi, in a concert performance at Dortmund's Klangvokal Musikfestival on 6 June. Vivica will celebrate the start of summer by returning to her home state of Alaska to sing Isabella in Rossini's L'Italiana in Algeri with Opera Fairbanks (3 and 5 July). She, Ms. Kermes, and Cappella Gabetta resume their journey through the music that pitted Faustina Bordoni against Francesca Cuzzoni with performances at Lübeck's Schleswig-Holstein Festival on 22 and 23 July. Vivica brings down the curtain on this amazing season with a series of Masterclasses at the Weimar Festival in late July and early August.
One of the most notable highlights of Vivica's 2012 - 2013 Season was her first assumption of the rôle of the title gypsy in Georges Bizet's Carmen, which she sang to acclaim in Rouen and Versailles. A concert tour with Cappella Gabetta took her to Lucerne, Rheinfelden, Schaffhausen, Villar-sur-Glâne, Lyon, and Paris's Salle Gaveau, in conjunction with the release of her deutsche harmonia mundi disc A Tribute to Faustina Bordoni. A program of vocal works with orchestra by Manuel de Falla, Benjamin Britten, and Luciano Berio was heard in Udine. In Athens, she presented a programme of Baroque and early Classical arias with Armonia Atenea and Maestro George Petrou. A joint recital with bass-baritone Daniel Okulitch under the auspices of the George London Foundation took her to New York's Morgan Library, and she offered a concert of popular arias at Moscow's storied Bolshoi Theatre. She conquered Krakow with a performance of Händel arias with Europa Galante and Maestro Fabio Biondi. On the operatic stage, she sang the title rôle in productions of Rossini's La Cenerentola in Hamburg, Palm Beach (Florida), and Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania). Her love for the music of Hasse was shared with the Viennese in a performance of the composer's Marc'Antonio e Cleopatra at the Musikverein. Vivaldi's Farnace brought her to Versailles, and she was heard in Händel's Agrippina in Madrid and Paris's Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.
Vivica's professional stage début was with the Florentine Opera in October 1994 as Isabella in Rossini's L’Italiana in Algeri. She subsequently sang the rôle with numerous companies, including the Wiener Staatsoper, Opéra National de Paris, San Francisco Opera, and Turin’s Teatro Regio, among others. Rosina in Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia is her most-performed rôle, which she has sung with twenty-one companies including the Wiener, Deutsche, and Bayerische Staatsopers, New York's Metropolitan Opera (where the rôle was the vehicle for her Company début), De Nederlandse, Washington National and Dallas Operas, and at the Dresden Festival.

She has also worked tirelessly to share her appreciation for the works of Johann Adolf Hasse with audiences, both in her many concerts and on stage as Piramo in Piramo e Tisbe (Salzburg, Montpellier); Marc'Antonio in Marc’Antonio e Cleopatra (Paris, Brussels, Vienna); and Selimo in Solimano (Berlin, Dresden). In the music of Antonio Vivaldi, she has shone in the title rôle of Giustino (Solothurn); as Irene in Bajazet (Vienna, Yokohama, Montpellier, Venice, Krakow, Paris, Madrid, Metz); as Antiope in Ercole su'l Termodonte (Cracow, Vienna, Paris); as Gilade in Il Farnace (Ambronay, Lausanne, Strasbourg, Amsterdam); as Vagaus in the oratorio Juditha triumphans (Krakow); and as Epitide in L'oracolo in Messenia (Caen, Vienna). Additionally, she has made lasting impressions as Penelope in Monteverdi's Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria (Munich); as San Teologia in Alessandro Scarlatti’s La Santissima Trinità (Palermo, Lyon, Paris); as Nerone in Domenico Scarlatti’s L'Ottavia restituita al trono (San Sebastián); as Macario in Leonardo Leo’s Sant’Elena al Calvario (Cracow); as Tamasse in Johann Christian Bach's Zanaïda (Paris); as Orfeo in Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice (Los Angeles); and in a pair of Haydn rôles, Costanza in L’isola disabitata (Bamberg) and Ernesto in Il mondo della luna (Vienna).
