Rencontres Musicales de Champéry

If there's one country where music and opera go hand in hand, it's Italy! Born in Venice with Monteverdi, opera immediately found a popular audience ready to acclaim its divas. For several centuries, Italian was the language of choice for this repertoire. Last year's “dream team” is back to thrill us with the most beautiful arias by Verdi, Donizetti and Mozart, to name but a few. And since these artists are also excellent actors, there'll be plenty of tears and laughter in store!   Musicians: - Odile Heimburger, soprano - Marie-Claude Chappuis, mezzo-soprano - Nikolay Borchev, baritone - Todd Camburn, piano   Program: L’incoronazione di Poppea – Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) « Disprezzata Regina  » Air de Ottavia – Marie-Claude Chappuis Le nozze di Figaro – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) “Tutto è disposto…Aprite un po’ quegli occhi” Air de Figaro – Nikolay Borchev La Traviata – Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901)  “È strano…Sempre libera” Air de Violetta – Odile Heimburger Lucia di Lammermoor – Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) “Il pallor funesto orrende” Duo de Lucia et Enrico – Odile Heimburger, Lucia et Nikolay Borchev, Enrico Così fan tutte –Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) “Soave sia il vento” Trio de Fiordiligi, Dorabella et Don Alfonso – Odile Heimburger, Fiordiligi; Marie-Claude Chappuis, Dorabella et Nikolay Borchev, Don Alfonso Così fan tutte –Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) “Ah scostati…Smanie implacabili” Air de Dorabella – Marie-Claude Chappuis Così fan tutte –Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) “Il core vi dono” Duo de Dorabella et Guglielmo – Marie-Claude Chappuis, Dorabella et Nikolay Borchev, Guglielmo I Puritani – Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835) “Qui la voce sua soave” Air de Elvira – Odile Heimburger Maria di Rohan – Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) “Son cifre di Riccardo” Air d’Enrico, Duc de Chevreuse – Nikolay Borchev Il barbiere di Siviglia – Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) “Una voce poco fa” Air de Rosina – Odile Heimburger La regata veneziana – Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) “Ciapo un baso” Canzone pour mezzo-soprano – Marie-Claude Chappuis La fille du régiment – Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) “Le jour naissait dans le bocage” Trio pour Marie, Sulpice, La Marquise – Odile Heimburger, Marie; Nikolay Borchev, Sulpice et Marie-Claude Chappuis, La Marquise Fedora – Umberto Giordano (1867-1948) “La donna russa è femmina due volte” Air de De Sirieux – Nikolay Borchev Norma – Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835) “Cedi, deh!
