Józef Kozłowski: Requiem in E-Flat Minor

Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Hans Graf, Singapore Symphony Chorus & Youth Choir, Olga Peretyatko, Olesya Petrova, Boris Stepanov, Christoph Seidl

The new album of Olga Peretyatko is dedicated to her first-born daughter Maya and is a tribute to humanity.

Songs for Maya is a true labor of love, born out of Olga’s desire to share the joy of motherhood and help her fans restore the sense of emotional well-being in challenging times by focusing on timeless and universal human values of nurturing love, beauty, tenderness, and acceptance.

Olga Peretyatko chose arias from the well-known operas "Die Entführung aus dem Serail", "Le nozze di Figaro", "Don Giovanni" and "Clemenza di Tito" by Mozart and combined these with arias from rather forgotten operas such as "Antigona" by Traetta, "Il barbiere di Siviglia" by Paisiello as well as "Il burbero di buon cuore" by Soler. The connection between Mozart and Soler becomes obvious, as the recording also includes two insertion arias (K582 and K583) by Mozart, which he had written for the revival of "Il burbero di buon cuore". Mozart+ is Peretyatko's second collaboration with the Sinfonieorchester Basel and Ivor Bolton as the conductor, after the highly acclaimed recording "The Secret Fauré" (2018).

The all-Russian programme here spans just over a century, from Glinka’s Ruslan and Lyudmila to Shostakovich’s Moscow, Cheryomushki. Her arias from these are impeccably done, but while there are no downright showstoppers, it’s during the tracks in between that she shines, supported solidly by the Ural Philharmonic under Dmitry Liss.

First staged in Naples in 1819, Rossini' opera La donna del lago is based on Walter Scott' romantic poem The Lady of the Lake, setting a precedent for later composers, who also drew on Scott for their plots. Conductor Alberto Zedda.

Meyerbeer is probably best remembered for his contributions to French grand opera in Les Huguenots, Le prophete and L'Africaine. Semiramide is an early work dealing with legends of the earlier part of the life of Semiramis, Queen of Babylon.

Evelino Pido conducts the Royal Opera House Orchestra and Chorus in this production of Donizetti's opera recorded in 2019. The cast includes Bryn Terfel in the eponymous role with Olga Peretyatko as Norina and Ioan Hotea as Ernesto.

Don Pasquale is the witty story of a middle-aged man whose supposed young wife runs rings around him – with her own ulterior romantic purpose in mind – and has long delighted and surprised audiences, not least as presented with the sparkle of its music and the virtuoso skill of its performers. Damiano Michieletto’s production shows how contemporary the characters still are and how immediate and touching the story remains.

Erwin Schrott, Olga Peretyatko, Nicola Alaimo, René Barbera, and Pietro Spagnoli lead C Major’s release of Rossini’s opera. Filmed at Teatro Rossini, Pesaro in 2016, the staging is by Italian director Davide Livermore. Speranza Scapucci conducts.

The performance of Il turco in Italia at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro is presented as a totally renewed production. With references to films of the iconic film director Federico Fellini “Davide Livermore brought it all together adding the perfect physical comic schtick that matched up perfectly with the musical pace of Rossini’s masterpiece - it was spectacular” (Opera Today). “Obviously the brilliant outcome of the performance is also due to Speranza Scapucci’s conducting, well prepared and highly talented, …” (Il Resto del Carlino Pesaro). The cast featuring Erwin Schrott, “who manages the most intricate colloratura effortlessly with his agile, beautiful bass- baritone...” (General-Anzeiger) and Olga Peretyatko being “the ideal cast” (Das Opernglas) made it a marvellous performance.

Kent Nagano leads the Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus in this production of Jacques Offenbach's opera. The cast includes Benjamin Bernheim as the poet Hoffmann and Olga Peretyatko as his former lovers, Olympia, Antonia and Giulietta.

Star tenor and director Rolando Villazón s staging of La Traviata at the Festspielhaus in Baden Baden is visually spectacular (The Huffington Post) and made for an enthusiastic reception for the premiere (Stuttgarter Zeitung). Villazón proves again his excellent narrating skills on stage (WDR Klassik).
The setting and opulence of the stage captivates the spectator, as do the stylized costumes designed by Thibault Vancraenenbroeck for circus artists (Stuttgarter Zeitung).

Olga Peretyatko as Violetta delivers a fantastic portrait of the title role wavering between adolescent joie de vivre, mature insight and anguish (Stuttgarter Zeitung). 

Diana Damrau, Olga Peretyatko, Christoph Strehl, Norbert Ernst, Franz-Josef Selig, and Christoph Quest star in this Gran Teatre del Liceu production of the Mozart opera conducted by Christof Loy and directed by Ivor Bolton.

Olga Peretyatko inhabits the title role as if it, too, were tailored for a perfect fit, singing with an ideal balance of warmth and sparkle, dispatching her runs and roulades with graceful aplomb and deploying a fan with disarming insouciance. Operanews.com
