Hernan Iturralde

Part of Stuttgart Ring Cycle 2002/2003 - Third day.

Aldo Baldin was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, names in Brazilian lyrical singing. Born in a small town in Santa Catarina, his talent was present in the main operatic temples in the world. He died prematurely, and now his life and career are told by friends, relatives, widow and daughters.

Powder her face is the first lyric title of the English composer Thomas Adès (1971). It narrates the life of the Duchess of Argyll in a flashback that embraces her amorous audacities and the luxury of a life that culminated the day she had to leave the hotel room in which she resided due to lack of payment. Her scandals not only included illustrious figures, but also the circumstances were extraordinary.
