The talents of these seven opera singers offer a beacon of light in the coming weeks and months of winter’s darkness
Singers are a vital element of opera on which audiences always have an opinion. They can elevate a production, detract from one, blend in with the scenery, or stand so outside of time and place as to be utterly singular.
Tenor Luciano Pavarotti’s signature silvery tone is indelibly linked to his buoyant performance as the Duke of Mantua and the famous aria “La donna è mobile” from Verdi’s. Maria Callas’s name alone conjures the sounds of her luscious “Vissi d’Arte” as Tosca. Joan Sutherland is forever associated with her performances in the title role of Donizetti’s.
Health, finances, opportunities, competition, cancellations: The challenges are myriad. The coronavirus pandemic continues to test the resilience of individuals, conservatories and companies alike. The current generation of working artists might look behind, to singers like Jon Vickers and Lois Marshall, even as they look at the world around them and try to determine – create, define – their place in it.
The following seven opera singers have a range of backgrounds and are at different, if fascinating, points in their careers. Many straddle lines between large and small stages, live and recorded work, ever watchful of cultivating the vocal and theatrical in tandem, an integration opera demands. Matthew Cairns, Asitha Tennekoon, Alain Coulombe, Melody Courage, Karina Gauvin, Joyce El-Khoury and Gerald Finley – these are names known to many Canadian opera lovers, names to remember for newcomers.
