MARK S. DOSS | THE TIME OF OUR SINGING | ST. GALLEN

On March 19, 2023, Mark S. Doss reprises his celebrated portrayal of William Daley in The Time of Our Singing, the powerful contemporary opera by the Belgian composer Kris Defoort that premiered at La Monnaie in Brussels in September 2021, in this very same Ted Huffmann production conducted by Kwamé Ryan. He will share the stage with Claron McFadden as Delia Daley, Kristján Jóhannesson as David Strom, Joshua Stewart as Jonah, Markel Reed as Joey, Naomi Simmonds as Ruth, and Jennifer Panara as Lisette Soer. There will be four additional performances through March 23, 2023. Mark S. Doss created the role of William Daley in this work that depicts the life of a mixed-race family that is both united and divided by music, against the backdrop of segregation in the post-war United States. The Ohio-born bass-baritone gave a compelling portrayal of an African-American father who sees his daughter’s marriage to a white man as a betrayal of her ancestry. After this Swiss engagement, the Grammy winner singer travels to New York City’s Lincoln Center to star - together with orchestra members of the New York Philharmonic - in “Here I Stand”, a musical homage to the legendary Black bass-baritone Paul Robeson on the 125th anniversary of his birth.

ÉTIENNE DUPUIS | EVGENIJ ONEGIN | VIENNA

Étienne Dupuis returns to the Vienna State Opera with one of his most beloved and performed roles, the titular anti-hero of Evgenij Onegin, on March 14, 18, 22 and 24, 2023. The Dmitri Tcherniakov production, where he will share the stage with Nicole Car as Tatyana, Iván Ayón Rivas as Lensky, Maria Barakova as Olga, and Dimitry Ivashchenko as Prince Gremin, is conducted by Tomáš Hanus. This is the fifth role for the Quebecois baritone at the Vienna State Opera, where he has previously appeared as Marcello in La bohème and in new productions of Faust (Valentin), Werther (Albert) and Il barbiere di Siviglia (Figaro). The cynical and world-weary title character of Eugene Onegin has long been a favorite of Étienne Dupuis, who has sung it - frequently alongside his real-life wife soprano Nicole Car - in some of the most prestigious international theaters and concert halls such as the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Opéra de Montréal and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.

IRINA LUNGU | LA BOHÈME | TEATRO ALLA SCALA

On March 4, 2023, Irina Lungu breaks new ground as the first soprano in the history of the Teatro alla Scala to interpret both Musetta and Mimì in La bohème in the same season: She will first sing four performances as the coquettish flirt immediately followed by four other ones as the ill-fated consumptive seamstress through March 26, in the legendary Franco Zeffirelli production led by Eun Sun Kim. As Musetta she will share the stage with Marina Rebeka (Mimì), Freddie De Tommaso (Rodolfo), Luca Micheletti (Marcello), Jongmin Park (Colline), and Alessio Arduini (Schaunard), while Mariam Battistelli will take over the role of Musetta when Irina sings Mimì. The Russian-born soprano has long been associated with both Musetta (the Metropolitan Opera, Royal Opera House Covent Garden) and Mimì (Vienna State Opera, Teatro Regio Turin, Teatro San Carlo Naples, Opéra de Monte-Carlo, Royal Opera House Muscat). Irina Lungu, who made her La Scala debut as Anaï in Moïse et Pharaon in the 200/2004 season, has graced that mythical stage in numerous roles such as Violetta in La traviata (two different productions), Maria Stuarda, Sancta Susanna, Adina in L’elisir d’amore, Oksana in Čerevički and Anaï in Moïse et Pharaon.

VINCENZO MILLETARÌ | DEUX HOMMES ET UNE FEMME | TOURS

A momentous new step in Vincenzo Milletarì’s fast and steady ascent: his French debut conducting Donizetti’s seldom heard comic opera Deux hommes et une femme at the Opéra de Tours on March 3, 2023, with a second and last performance two days later. He leads a production by Vincent Boussard starring Patrizia Ciofi as Rita, Léo Vermot-Desroches as Pepe and Dietrich Henschel as Gasparo. The posthumous Deux hommes et une femme (also known as Rita, ou Le mari battu), is the second Donizetti rarity the Taranto-born is conducting this season, after his astounding success with “L’aio nell’imbarazzo” at the Festival Donizetti Opera in Bergamo last fall. Vincenzo Milletarì’s subsequent operatic engagements include his debut in Tosca at the Den Jyrske Opera Aarhus and the inauguration of the 2023 Kissinger Sommer Festival with an all-Italian opera gala.
