Erwin Schrott - ROJOTANGO So aufregend kann Tango sein
by Marcel Konrath
- Jun 4, 2013
Er ist einer der ganz großen Opernstars. Erwin Schrott gehort zu den faszinierendsten Sangern unserer Zeit und begeistert ein weltweites Publikum ebenso wie Kritiker in großen Rollen zum Beispiel von Mozart, Verdi, Gounod und Berlioz. Die Prasenz seines eindrucksvollen Bassbaritons, seine maskuline Ausstrahlung, der glutvolle Blick, das
Temperament Sudamerikas - all dies macht ihn zum Helden der Oper. Mit „Rojotango' kehrt Erwin Schrott zuruck zu seinen Wurzeln, dorthin, wo Tangos und Milongas ihr Zuhause haben. Von den Ufern des Rio de la Plata aus, eroberte der Tango mit seinen Gegensatzen von Weichheit und Schwermut, Melancholie und Erotik die Welt und ist geradezu ideal fur das Repertoire eines Bassbaritons.

The regular season just ended for the Metropolitan Opera--all that's left is a series of HD rebroadcasts on Lincoln Center Plaza and a couple of low profile concerts in New York City parks--and it's time for a look back at what kind of season it was. With seven new productions and 21 other operas in rep during a season that ran from the end of September to mid-May, the Met was nothing if not far-reaching in its repertoire.
