Message of Rolando (!!!), Anna at the Richard Tucker gala and "The winners are..." ECHO 2009
Dear friends,
This is just a quick note to tell you how touched I am by the many beautiful messages I have received from you over the past weeks. Every message, every postcard, every book you have sent me is like a flower. My garden is full of colors and I am the little colibri drinking from all of them. Thank you!Some of you have expressed worries about my recent withdrawal from the "Carmen" -production in Vienna. Don't be concerned! I have not yet had the operation (it will take place in these days), but I decided I want to be careful with my repertoire in the next year.I have spent this time playing with my kids and taking walks with my wife, joggling, reading Darwin's fabulous "The Origin of Species", joggling, listening to all of Brahms and going to the theater, joggling, dreaming, writing a little fiction and joggling!.I wish you all the very best for a wonderful summer and promise to be in touch again soon!
Rolando
These words are going down like butter...You don't leave your fans out in the rain ! THANK YOU ROLANDO !
So what happened also the last days ?? Let's see...Anna will participate, next others like Joseph Calleja, at the John Tucker gala at the Avery Fisher Hall in New York on 22th November 2009.
Anna and Rolando recieved the ECHO 2009 in the category "Opera recording of the year (19th century) - La Bohème" Congratulations ! You both really deserve it !

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man war das toll !!!!!!!! =)))) Danach sind wir dann frühstücken gegangen und kurz darauf bin ich mit dem Zug nach Hause gefahren. So und jetzt sitze ich hier und kann noch gar nicht fassen was passiert ist ! Unglaublich ist das alles !!!! Wie im Film ist das gelaufen !!!!! Einfach Hammer ! Ach ja genau und sie sagte dann noch, dass man sich bestimmt bald wieder sieht, worauf Lisa antwortete "Yes on 10th July in Munich, we will be at your concert !" =)))))) Was für ein Erlebnis, ich packs nicht....Achja und das Frühstück im Hotel mussten wir nicht mal bezahlen – ich bin ja schließlich Sophie Marceau.
Sorry for the two [...] but it was actually very personal and I don't want that the whole world can read this. It was only a thing between Anna and me/Lisa, Anna and me...Cause Lisa is still in Munich, she cannot sent me her photos already so I can only post mines. Don't wonder about the bad quality, but I was so excited that I couldn't take a clear picture ! ;)))

Met season 2009/2010
Les Contes d’Hoffmann
A powerhouse team joins forces for Offenbach’s psychological fantasy. James Levine conducts, and Tony Award® winner Bart Sher (South Pacific) returns after the triumph of his Met Barber of Seville to direct. Inspired by Kafka, Sher describes his production as “a magical journey in which the character works out different manifestations of his psyche.” Rolando Villazón plays Hoffmann, a tour de force role for the tenor. Also starring soprano Anna Netrebko as the tragic Antonia, Elina Garanca as the ambiguous Nicklausse, and René Pape as the demonic four villains.
Click here for watching the dates.
The new production gala will be on 03rd December 2009. Click here for details.
The 19th Decembers' performance will be broadcast by Met HD.
Furthermore will Anna sing Mimì in La Bohème:
La Bohème
Anna Netrebko stars in the most popular opera in the repertory. Piotr Beczala, who signaled his arrival as a top lyric tenor in last season’s Lucia di Lammermoor, sings his first Met Rodolfo in Franco Zeffirelli’s legendary production. Gerald Finley is Marcello, opposite Nicole Cabell and Ruth Ann Swenson alternating as Musetta.

Wow that are great news ! =) I'm really looking forward to Les contes d'Hoffmann because Antonia is one of the roles I want to sing her the most ! Together with Rolando and Elina, could it be better ?! ; ) And it's part of the Met HD serie that's absolutely fantastic ! =)

Release of Bohème
I couldn't found out detailed information about the release of "La Bohème" on DVD, so I decided to write an email to NFP the film distribution of Bohème. They answered me that normally it lasts approximately half a year till the films will be published on DVD. I'm a little bit disappointed that I will be able to buy Bohème not till march/april, because some german/austrian medias talked about a release already before Christmas.Sonntag, 26. Oktober 2008
My Bohème
Yesterday evening I travelled to Munich to watch La Bohème in the cinema. And I can tell you all the film is absolutely fantastic !!! The sceneries are made so lovely and they are so "real" just like the costumes. Anna and Rolando are great actors ! They are playing Mimì and Rodolfo with such a conviction and feelings. Another praise goes to Nicole Cabel as Musetta, George von Bergen as Marcello, Adrin Eröd as Schaunard and Vitalij Kowaljow as Colline (and sure to all the others who make this film to what it is). They are the best friends/acting collueges which Rodolfo/Rolando could have ! All to the fore Nicole Cabel, she acts really, really great ! Like she acts in Musetta's waltz is fantastic. The story is full of tragedy but it doesn't forget to give the audience also a "piece of fun". I love the scene in act IV when Rodolfo and his friends are fighting and having a good time, you can really see the fun they had in their eyes ! Rolando can really show his clownish core. The most "strongest" scene was the dieing of Mimì, I have to cry a lot during the film, but that was the time a have cried waterfalls...it is so heardbreaking if Rolando/Rodolfo crys the last words "Mimì, Mimì" into the night...the last picture you see is top view the death Mimì lying on Rodolfo's bed completely alone in the empty room...I think could still telling on and on =) There is so much talking and telling about ! But I don't want to antendate to much ^^ I hope you all will be able soon to watch Bohème in cinema or DVD !
