Anna Netrebko / Rolando Villazón - DUETS



Where would opera be without its duets between soprano and tenor? Whether the duet is confrontational or tearful, joyously ecstatic or nakedly sexual, it is the intertwining of two high-flying voices that gives opera its emotional heart. As Rolando Villazón puts it: “When the opera shows you two young lovers on stage who are ready to die for each other, the audience has to feel their passion."It helps if vocal allure is matched by physical glamour, and in that respect the Russian soprano Anna Netrebko and the Mexican tenor Rolando Villazón are ideal. In The New York Times Anthony Tommasini described Netrebko as “gorgeous" and Villazón as “dashing", while Alex Ross of The New Yorker suggested that they are “two singers with a certain movie-star quality". In Opera Martin Bernheimer simply labelled them opera's “stardust twins".Netrebko and Villazón established themselves as the new operatic dream team when they sang in the Salzburg Festival production of Verdi's La Traviata in 2005 (their interpretations are preserved on Deutsche Grammophon CD and DVD). Since then, they have conquered the world's stages: in Gounod's Roméo et Juliette in Los Angeles, Verdi's Rigoletto at New York's Metropolitan Opera (conducted by Plácido Domingo, who knows a thing or two about vocal finesse), and in Massenet's Manon in Los Angeles last autumn (Domingo once again conducting). In Manon, according to the Berliner Morgenpost, “Netrebko's chemistry with Villazón generated cosmic sparks". (Nick Kimberley)
