Gastone Limarilli

Manje usekhohliwe ngokoqobo. Lapho efa (ngo-1998), umagazini wesiNgisi Opera wanikeza umculi imigqa engu-19 kuphela ye-laconic. Futhi kwakunezikhathi lapho izwi lakhe lalithakaselwa khona. Nokho, akuzona zonke. Ngoba kwakukhona ekuculeni kwakhe, kanye nemvelo ebabazekayo, uhlobo oluthile lokungahloniphi, ngokweqile. Akazange azigodle, wacula kakhulu futhi enesiphithiphithi, washesha waphuma esiteji. Inani eliphakeme lomsebenzi wakhe lafika kuma-60s. Futhi phakathi neminyaka yama-70s, waqala ukunyamalala kancane kancane ezigabeni zamathiyetha ahamba phambili emhlabeni. Sekuyisikhathi sokumqamba igama: kumayelana ne-tenor yase-Italy u-Gaston Limarilli. Namuhla esigabeni sethu somdabu sikhuluma ngaye.

UGastone Limarilli wazalwa ngoSepthemba 29, 1927 eMontebelluna, esifundazweni saseTreviso. Mayelana neminyaka yakhe yokuqala, mayelana nendlela afika ngayo emhlabeni we-opera, umculi, hhayi ngaphandle kwamahlaya, utshela uRenzo Allegri, umbhali wencwadi ethi "The Price of Success" (eyanyatheliswa ngo-1983), enikezelwe izinkanyezi ze-opera. Sekuyisikhathi eside sisuka ezweni lobuciko, ehlala ekhaya endlini encane, ezungezwe umndeni omkhulu, izinja nezinkukhu, othanda ukupheka nokwenza iwayini, ubukeka njengomfanekiso onemibala kakhulu emakhasini alo msebenzi.

Ngokuvamile kwenzeka, akekho emndenini womthwebuli wezithombe, kuhlanganise noGaston ngokwakhe, owake wacabanga ukuguquka kwezenzakalo njengomsebenzi womculi. Le nsizwa ilandele ezinyathelweni zikayise, imatasa nezithombe. NjengamaNtaliyane amaningi, wayethanda ukucula, wabamba iqhaza emidlalweni yekwaya yendawo, kodwa akazange acabange ngekhwalithi yalo msebenzi.

Le nsizwa yaqashelwa ngesikhathi kunekhonsathi esontweni ngomunye umthandi womculo onothando, umkhwe wakhe wakusasa uRomolo Sartor. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho kwenzeka khona ukuphenduka kokuqala okubalulekile kwesiphetho sikaGaston. Naphezu kokuncenga kukaSartor, wayengafuni ukufunda ukucula. Kwakuzophela kanjalo-ke. Uma kungenjalo ngeyodwa kodwa ... USartor wayenamadodakazi amabili. Omunye wabo wayemthanda uGaston. Lokhu kwayishintsha kakhulu indaba, isifiso sokufunda savuka ngokuzumayo. Nakuba indlela yomculi we-novice ayikwazi ukubizwa ngokuthi ilula. Kwakukhona ukuphelelwa ithemba namabhadi. USartor yedwa akazange alahlekelwe yinhliziyo. Ngemva kwemizamo engaphumelelanga yokufunda endaweni yokugcina izingane eVenice, wamyisa kuMario del Monaco ngokwakhe. Lo mcimbi ubuyinkathi yesibili yoshintsho esiphethweni sikaLimarilli. I-Del Monaco yazisa ikhono likaGastone futhi yancoma ukuthi aye ePesaro ku-maestro yaseMalocchi. Kwaba ngowakamuva owakwazi “ukusetha izwi leqiniso” lensizwa endleleni. Ngemva konyaka, i-Del Monaco yabheka i-Gastone isilungele izimpi ezisebenzayo. Futhi uya eMilan.

Kodwa akuyona yonke into elula kangaka empilweni yobuciko enzima. Yonke imizamo yokuthola umshado igcine ingaphumelelanga. Ukubamba iqhaza emiqhudelwaneni nakho akuzange kulethe impumelelo. UGaston waphelelwa yithemba. UKhisimusi ka-1955 wawunzima kakhulu empilweni yakhe. Wayesesendleleni eya ekhaya. Futhi manje ... umncintiswano olandelayo we-Nuovo Theatre uletha inhlanhla. Umculi uya kowamanqamu. Wanikezwa ilungelo lokucula ePagliacci. Abazali beza emsebenzini, uSartor nendodakazi yakhe, ngaleso sikhathi owayengumakoti wakhe, uMario del Monaco.

Okufanele ukusho. Impumelelo, impumelelo edizzy ngosuku olulodwa "yehla" kumculi. Ngosuku olulandelayo, amaphephandaba ayegcwele imishwana efana nokuthi “Kwazalwa iCaruso entsha.” ULimarilli umenyiwe eLa Scala. Kodwa walalela iseluleko esihlakaniphile sikaDel Monaco - hhayi ukugijima ngezinkundla ezinkulu zaseshashalazini, kodwa ukuqinisa amandla akhe futhi athole ulwazi ezigabeni zesifundazwe.

Umsebenzi oqhubekayo kaLimarilli usuvele ukhuphuka, manje unenhlanhla. Eminyakeni emine kamuva, ngo-1959, wenza i-debut yakhe e-Rome Opera, eyaba yisiteji sakhe esithandwa kakhulu, lapho umculi enza khona njalo kuze kube ngu-1975. Ngawo lowo nyaka, ekugcineni uvela eLa Scala (ukuqala njengoHippolyte ku-Pizzetti's Phaedra).

Ngama-60s, uLimarilli wayeyisivakashi esamukelekile kuzo zonke izigaba ezinkulu emhlabeni. Ushayelwa ihlombe nguCovent Garden, iMetropolitan, iVienna Opera, ingasaphathwa eyezigcawu zase-Italy.

Ngo-1960-68 wayecula minyaka yonke emaBaths of Caracalla. Ngokuphindaphindiwe (kusukela ngo-1960) ucula emkhosini we-Arena di Verona.

Phakathi kwezindima zakhe ezinhle kakhulu kukhona uRadamès, Ernani, Foresto e-Attila, Canio, Dick Johnson ku-The Girl from the West.
