JOSÉ CURA, " TURANDOT " -- Zurich. 2006

JOSÉ CURA, "TURANDOT" at the Opernhaus Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland in 2006 In April 2006, JOSÉ CURA brought Calaf to life in the Opernhaus Zurich's production of Puccini's Turandot. Representing contemporary sensibilities, Cura easily parodied the stereotype of macho lover with a deft, witty approach that delighted the audience. His impeccable comic timing, most notably in the famous Act II riddle scene where his comedic instincts were inspired, sent ripples of laughter through the auditorium. Cura reprised the role in Zurich in season 2006/2007, in 2007/2008 and again in 2011/2012. Venue: Opernhaus Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland Date: 9, 12, 19, 21, 25, 28, 30, April & 4, May, 2006 Turandot: Paoletta Marrocu* Calaf: JOSÉ CURA Liù: Elena Mosuc Timur: Pavel Daniluk Ping: Gabriel Bermúdez Pang: Andreas Winkler Pong: Boguslaw Bidzinski Altoum: Miroslav Christoff Mandarin: Valeriy Murga Musikalische Leitung: Alan Gilbert Inszenierung: Giancarlo del Monaco Ausstattung: Peter Sykora Lichtgestaltung: Hans-Rudolf Kunz Choreinstudierung: Jürg Hämmerli Vox spectatricis ---- The Calaf of José Cura was outstanding. At this time no other tenor can so easily master this role. The bronze, baritonal voice coloring, paired with an incredible expressiveness and vocal strength and, when necessary, with softness, inspired storms of enthusiasm. The nonchalance in his acting and the ease with which he took the high notes made him the winner of the evening. Concertonet ---- José Cura made a strong impression as Calaf. The Argentinian tenor sang with dark and vigorous tones and easily launched high notes, even singing “Nessun dorma” lying on his back! He showed scrupulous attention to style and score, and he had no problem playing the macho lover required by the staging. Ópera Actual ---- His imposing presence made us think the opera should have been called Calaf, but much of his macho self-approval can be easily pardoned thanks to the charisma that characterizes this artist and the almost overwhelming brightness of his vocal projection. Opera Now ---- I had expected a generous and committed physical performance; I hadn’t anticipated an impeccable vocal one, too. A well-nigh perfect “Nessun dorma” capped an exciting interpretation that played well to Cura ebullient Action Man strengths.
