Mezzo Mozart

Description

And Mozart Created the Mezzo?
In the composer's time, the vocal typologies we know today did not yet exist. Women were sopranos, castrati were castrati, and Mozart wrote more for personalities and vocal colors than for abstract ranges. In his work, and provided one does not adhere too strictly to today's labels, the same singer can thus traverse an entire expressive and dramatic kaleidoscope and slip into the skin of multiple characters, without omitting to draw from the rich repertoire that Mozart bequeathed to the castrati, high or low... With the collaboration of Stephan MacLeod at the head of his ensemble Gli Angeli Genève, Marina Viotti develops a program that embraces the diversity and infinite richness of Mozartian vocality.
