The reviews are in for Marianne Beate Kielland’s Speranza and Proserpina in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo at the Ravello Festival, and we’re delighted with them!
She sang both roles with Jordi Savall conducting Le Concert des Nations and La Capella Reial de Catalunya, in the Italian exclusive of Savall’s L’Orfeo, performed on the Belvedere di Villa Rufolo above the Amalfi Coast.
Speranza (Hope) and Proserpina have been part of Marianne Beate’s work with Savall for several years: at the Opéra-Comique in Paris, the Opéra Royal de Versailles, and on the production’s audio and DVD recordings.

“Sin los papeles secundarios, la ópera no existiría.” / Without secondary roles, opera wouldn’t exist.
Tenor Pablo García-López has spent years defending the comprimario, and at the Gran Teatre del Liceu he showed why, as Bardolfo in Verdi’s Falstaff. The Spanish and Catalan press loved his double act with bass Alessio Cacciamani.
In an interview with Beckmesser this March, he said:
“Existe la idea de que si no cantas Calaf no puedes brillar, y no es cierto. Sin los papeles secundarios, la ópera no existiría. Hay comprimarios que son una escuela en sí mismos. Son músicos extraordinarios y sostienen el edificio dramático de una ópera.”
“There’s a notion that if you don’t sing Calaf you can’t shine, and it isn’t true. Without the supporting roles, opera wouldn’t exist. There are comprimarios who are a school in themselves. They are extraordinary musicians, and they hold up the dramatic architecture of an opera.”
Bardolfo is one of those parts. He lives inside the ensemble: a sly, fast-talking sidekick who has to stay perfectly in time with Pistola and Falstaff, in some of the quickest, most tightly woven music Verdi wrote. That’s what the reviews responded to: sharp comic timing, a warm and focused tenor that cuts through even the busiest ensembles, and a chemistry with Cacciamani that came through in every scene.

Enhorabuena, Pablo! 🌹
Marianne Beate Kielland: L’Orfeo at Ravello Festival 🎵
Tonight at the Belvedere di Villa Rufolo, mezzo-soprano Marianne Beate Kielland sings Speranza and Proserpina in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, conducted by Jordi Savall with Le Concert des Nations and La Capella Reial de Catalunya.
This is the Italian exclusive of Savall’s interpretation, performed in concert form on one of the most beautiful stages in Europe. Marianne’s roles as Speranza (Hope) and Proserpina sit at the dramatic heart of the myth. Her connection to this specific reading of the score is well known, having previously garnered critical acclaim in these roles under Savall’s baton at the Opéra-Comique de Paris, the Opéra Royal de Versailles, and on the award-winning audio and DVD recordings of the production.
The stellar cast also includes Mauro Borgioni as Orfeo, Sara Mingardo as La Messaggiera, and Furio Zanasi as Apollo.
The setting: Villa Rufolo’s belvedere overlooking the Amalfi Coast, the air scented with sea and lemon blossoms. 🍋🌊

Role debut alert: Logan Lopez Gonzalez as Ottone 🏛️
Tonight, countertenor Logan Lopez Gonzalez takes the title role in Handel’s Ottone, re di Germania for his role debut at the Abbatiale de Payerne.
This is the second edition of L’Opéra de l’Impératrice, a festival that stages Handel’s masterpieces on the historical ground of their subjects. The Abbatiale de Payerne, a Swiss heritage site of national importance, is where the 10th-century Empress Adelaide once favoured the monastery’s prosperity; the same political world Handel depicts in Ottone.
Originally written for the legendary castrato Senesino, this demanding role suits Logan’s luminous voice and dramatic qualities perfectly. His previous Handel roles include Argone in Sosarme at the Opéra Royal de Versailles and Argante in Rinaldo with Il Groviglio.
The production is directed by Constance Larrieu and conducted by Lionel Desmeules with the Capella Paterniacensis.
Ottone: Logan Lopez Gonzalez
Teofane: Sarah Matousek
Gismonda: Polly Leech
Adelberto: Charles Sudan
Matilda: Benedetta Mazzucato
Emireno: Gerardo Garciacano
Conductor: Lionel Desmeules
📅 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, 18 July, Abbatiale de Payerne, Switzerland
Toi toi toi, Logan! ✨
