La Sonnambula [The Metropolitan Opera]
Mar 21, 2009Alors qu'une jeune femme s'apprête à épouser son amoureux, elle est découverte, par tout le village - sans parler de son fiancé -, endormie dans la chambre d'un inconnu. Il faut deux actes au jeune homme pour comprendre que le somnambulisme est à blâmer, et tout se termine bien. Natalie Dessay dans le rôle d'Amina et Juan Diego Flórez dans le rôle d'Elvino livrent la magie du bel canto et des feux d'artifice vocaux dans la production de Mary Zimmerman en 2009. Le réalisateur transfère le conte bucolique de Bellini dans une salle de répétition du New York contemporain, où une compagnie d’opéra répète La Sonnambula et où les chanteurs sont véritablement amoureux les uns des autres.

La Fille du Régiment [The Metropolitan Opera]
Apr 26, 2008Comédie physique folle et colorature impeccable se réunissent pour le portrait indélébile de Natalie Dessay du garçon manqué fougueux élevé par un régiment de soldats français. Juan Diego Flórez est le jeune villageois suisse qui conquiert son cœur et une multitude de C élevés. Présentant également des performances bruyantes de Felicity Palmer et d'Alessandro Corbelli, ainsi qu'une apparition de Marian Seldes, lauréate d'un Tony Award, cette production hilarante a été un succès fulgurant qui a laissé le public exalté.
Comedy
Il Barbiere di Siviglia
Jul 04, 200923-year-old Gioachino Rossini completed his masterpiece IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA incredibly quickly – legend has it in just 13 days – which Rossini attributed to ‘facility and lots of instinct’. The opera, characterized by youthful energy and bold wit, has all the ingredients for comic chaos: an imprisoned young woman, her lecherous guardian and a young noble suitor. Skilfully plotting behind the scenes is Figaro, an irrepressible and inventive character in whom many have seen a resemblance to the young Rossini himself. The score fizzes with musical brilliance, from Figaro’s famous entrance aria to the frenzy of the Act I finale. This recording sees Joyce DiDonato (Rosina) bring literal meaning to the old theatrical motto Break a leg! She did just that in an earlier show but was determined to finish her commitment and was re-staged into the production to allow for the additional challenges that come when a leading lady in a lively physical role must wheel around the other performers...

Le Comte Ory [The Metropolitan Opera]
Apr 09, 2011La comédie rarement entendue de Rossini reçoit une brillante interprétation dans la première production du Met de Bartlett Sher, avec un trio des plus grandes stars du bel canto d'aujourd'hui dans les rôles principaux : Juan Diego Flórez est le comte Ory, un beau voyou qui trouve les femmes – toutes les femmes – irrésistibles. Diana Damrau chante la vertueuse comtesse Adèle et Joyce DiDonato incarne Isolier, la page du comte, elle aussi amoureuse de la comtesse. Les blagues, les malentendus et les déguisements sexistes – y compris les chevaliers déguisés en nonnes – abondent dans cette histoire hilarante de tromperie et de séduction. Maurizio Benini dirige.

Rigoletto
Jun 21, 2008Both Florez and Diana Damrau brought their bel canto expertise and superb vocalism to the service of Verdi's music. The Rigoletto, Zeljko Lucic, ran the gamut from tenderness with his Gilda to thundering fury with everyone else. I also liked the production. At first, when Rigoletto was putting on his grease paint during the overture, I was afraid that it might be a typical "Euro-trash" production, with a bit of warmed over I Pagliacci. But the sets and dramatic action really served the music and libretto. I would have to say that I came to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the story and characters as a result of seeing this performance.

Apr 26, 2015I Puritani
Oct 19, 2010In this high-definition film of Bellini's historical bel canto drama, "I Puritani", tenor superstar Juan Diego Flórez is partnered by new young Georgian soprano Nino Machaidze, in her first appearance on a Decca DVD. Joining them in a striking new staging by Pier'Alli at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna is celebrated bass baritone, Ildebrando D'Arcangelo (DG). The context is England's Civil War between the Roundheads (the Parliamentarians, or Puritans of the title) and the Cavaliers (Royalists). A love triangle between Arturo (a Puritan), Riccardo (a Royalist) and the beautiful Elvira results in a drama of escapes, disguises and captures, during which Elvira loses her reason, before a final pardon restores her senses and unites her with her beloved Arturo. The lead tenor role is notoriously difficult and Juan Diego Flórez shows no strain or difficulty throughout the role. Opera fans will undoubtedly be impressed with the overall production and the tenor's performance in particular.

The perfectly staged & cast production became the operatic event of the year, receiving rave press reviews & rapturous audience ovations.

Rossini La Cenerentola
Jun 12, 2008This is an excellent version of one of the greatest of all comic operas, featuring superb singing and orchestral playing. And it's not just the two headliners; listen, for example, to the entrance of the stepsisters at the beginning of Act One. Nevertheless, some viewers may find the staging problematic, with singers in clown-like costumes and sets featuring human-sized rodents. Those seeking a more conventional production might want to consider the Houston Grand Opera DVD, also on Decca, with Cecilia Bartoli and Raul Jimenez. Both sets are wonderful, but, for me, Joyce Didonato and Juan Diego Florez are slightly to be preferred. Highly recommended.

Rossini: La Donna del Lago
Mar 14, 2015An all-star cast assembled for the Met’s first-ever performances of Rossini’s romantic retelling of Sir Walter Scott’s epic poem The Lady of the Lake. Joyce DiDonato is Elena, the title heroine, who is being pursued by not one, but two tenors—setting off sensational vocal fireworks. Juan Diego Flórez is King James V of Scotland, disguised as the humble Uberto, and John Osborn sings his political enemy, and rival in love, Rodrigo Di Dhu. Complicating matters is the fact that Elena herself loves Malcolm, a trouser role sung by mezzo-soprano Daniela Barcellona, and that she is the daughter of Duglas (Oren Gradus), another of the king’s political adversaries. Paul Curran’s atmospheric production is conducted by Michele Mariotti.

Il Barbiere di Siviglia [The Metropolitan Opera]
Mar 24, 2007Le public s’est déchaîné devant la production dynamique de Bartlett Sher, qui a trouvé des moyens nouveaux et surprenants de rapprocher plus que jamais la comédie effervescente de Rossini. Le casting stellaire a relevé le défi avec une énergie irrésistible et un vocalisme de bravoure. Juan Diego Flórez est le comte Almaviva, qui déclenche une colorature époustouflante tout en courtisant la fougueuse Rosina de Joyce DiDonato, avec l'aide de Peter Mattei dans le rôle du seul et unique Figaro, le barbier bien-aimé de Séville et l'homme de la ville.

Rossini: Guillaume Tell
Jan 01, 2013Le véritable héros de ce Guillaume Tell admirablement complet, présenté à Pesaro en août 2013, est le maestro local Michele Mariotti. L’inimitable ouverture, heureusement non mise en scène, est magnifiquement interprétée, avec de splendides solos de violoncelle et de flûte : le niveau d’excellence ne faiblit jamais. La partition extraordinaire de Rossini, datant de 1829, annonce déjà Meyerbeer, Berlioz, Glinka, Verdi et Wagner, entre autres. La mise en scène de Graham Vick met en avant la lutte des classes, symbolisée par un poing levé sur le rideau rouge et blanc. Les costumes édouardiens opposent les Autrichiens, vêtus de blanc en tenue de soirée, aux Suisses, habillés de noir et chargés de nettoyer le sol pendant que les dirigeants profitent d’un tournage — dont plusieurs séquences suivront. Ainsi, le pêcheur Ruodi se retrouve dans un bateau avec une blonde et un décor artificiel, tandis que Tell et sa famille assurent le support technique.

La Cenerentola [The Metropolitan Opera]
May 10, 2014Si jamais un compositeur est né pour mettre en musique le conte de fées enchanteur de Cendrillon, c'est bien Rossini. Son héroïne très appréciée Angelina (Elīna Garanča) doit faire face non seulement à de méchantes demi-sœurs, mais aussi à un père extravagant et farfelu, Don Magnifico (Alessandro Corbelli). Et dans cette version, le prince (Lawrence Brownlee) et son valet (Simone Alberghini) échangent leurs identités, ce qui provoque une délicieuse confusion sans fin. Avec la délicieuse production de contes de Cesare Lievi et la direction experte de Maurizio Benini, tout est aussi léger et délicieux qu'un merveilleux soufflé musical.
Rossini Zelmira
Jan 01, 2009Juan Diego Florez stars in the only available DVD version of Zelmira, filmed at the celebrated Rossini Festival in the composer s home town of Pesaro. The final opera Rossini wrote for Naples is a dramatic and musical tour de force and a magnificent showcase for the bel canto superstar of our time. Recorded in high definition at the 2009 Festival, Giorgio Barberio Corsettis production places the classical tale, set during the Trojan Wars, in modern times and modern dress
Joining Juan Diego Florez are a major international cast, described as near miraculous by Opera Today and led by American mezzo-soprano Kate Aldrich in the virtuosic title role
But the evening remained another distinguished triumph for Juan Diego Florez as Prince Ilo, whose arrival in his homeland, to rescue Zelmira, was marked by a dazzling tenorial display which evoked a nearly twenty-minute ovation
Don Pasquale
Sep 10, 2007Juan Diego Florez in another of his great stage roles. Old Don Pasquale (Ruggero Raimondi) wishes to marry and produce an heir, thus disinheriting his nephew Ernesto, who loves the merry widow Norina. Pasquale"s physician Malatesta pretends that Norina is his sister 'Sofronia', and arranges a mock wedding to Pasquale. 'Sofronia' then proceeds to make Pasquale's life a misery.

La Traviata [The Metropolitan Opera]
Dec 15, 2018Toute nouvelle production auu Met de la tragédie bien-aimée de Verdi, La Traviata, est en soi remarquable. M%ais la mise en scène éblouissante de Michael Mayer de la la saison 2018-2019 l'est particulièrement car elle marque les premières performances de Yannick Nézet-Séguin en tant que directeur musicale du Met, qui mène ici un ensemble étoilé. Dans le rôle de Violetta, l'héroïne phtisique luttant pour trouver le vrai bonheur, la soprano Diana Damrau livre un portrait convaincant . Sans le rôle d'Alfredo, l'amant ardent mais impétueux de Violetta, le ténor Juan Diego Flórez chante son premier rôle de Verdi avec la compagnie. Le baryton Quinn Kelsey complète le casting principal dans le rôle de Giorgio Germont, le père implacable d'Alfredo.
Orphée et Euridice - Teatro alla Scala
Mar 20, 2018Juan Diego Flórez dazzled audiences and critics alike when he played the virtuoso role of Orphée in La Scala’s first ever staging of Gluck’s opera in its French version: “Juan Diego Flórez delivered a lesson in style. His tone is darker and his projection more self-effacing than in the past, but class is permanent. His agility and legato are utterly thrilling. The ovations were never-ending.” (Corriere della sera) The present release is a production by Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London Recorded live at Teatro alla Scala, Milan, March 2018. Gluck’s Orpheo ed Euridice was first performed in 1762. It is the first of Gluck’s “reform” operas, in which he attempted to replace the abstruse plots and overly complex music of opera sera with a “noble simplicity” in both the music and the drama. The present production was staged by Hofesh Shechter and John Fulljames.

Massenet: Werther
Mar 30, 2018Forbidden love, wrongdoings and anguish: the Opernhaus Zürich ventures into late nineteenth-century French romanticism with Werther by Jules Massenet. A loose adaptation of Johann Wolfgang von Goethes epistolary novel 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', the opera is conducted by Germanys Cornelius Meister. It tells the story of the impossible union of poet Werther to Charlotte, a woman of duty already promised to a wealthy businessman. Goethes drama is echoed in Massenets score by emotionally wide-ranging vocal parts written on a grand scale. Juan Diego Flórez is undisputedly one of the best belcanto tenors of our times and embodies a tortured and nuanced Werther. 'Its not a profane appearance of any singer it is an epiphany!' gushes the Neue Zürcher Zeitung in a rave review. At Flórezs side, Franco-British mezzo-soprano Anna Stéphany sang her role début as Charlotte. The one-room staging by Tatjana Gürbaca cleverly makes the social stranglehold of oppression tangible.

Rossini - Matilde di Shabran
Aug 05, 2013Opéra de Giuseppe Rossini enregistré à Pesaro en 2004. Corradino (Juan Diego Flórez) est surnommé "coeur de fer" car il joue au guerrier brutal. Mais, touché par l'amour, il tombera sous la domination de Matilde di Shabran (Olga Peretyatko)... Même s'il s'agit d'une rareté, Matilde di Shabran est bel et bien une oeuvre de premier plan dans la production rossinienne, avec des airs d'une virtuosité et d'une difficulté extrêmes ! Juan Diego Flórez, célèbre pour ses contre-uts explosifs s'en donne à coeur joie dans ce rôle taillé sur mesure.
