UMarcelo Álvarez

Muva nje, i-tenor yase-Argentina uMarcelo Alvarez ibizwe ngabagxeki njengomunye wabaqhudelana neqhaza le-tenor "yesine" ngemuva kukaPavarotti, uDomingo noCarreras. Wabekwa phambili ohlwini lwabafake izicelo ngokungangabazeki kwezwi lakhe elihle, ukubukeka okuhle nokukhangayo kwasesiteji. Manje inkulumo ethi “i-tenor yesine” isiye yadamba ngandlela-thile, futhi sibonga uNkulunkulu: mhlawumbe isikhathi sesifikile lapho ngisho nababhali bamaphephandaba, abaziphilisa ngokugcwalisa amaphepha angenalutho, baqaphela ukuthi abaculi be-opera banamuhla bahluke ngokuphelele kwabakuqala. ezinkulu.

UMarcelo Alvarez wazalwa ngo-1962 futhi umsebenzi wakhe waqala eminyakeni eyishumi nesithupha edlule. Umculo ubulokhu uyingxenye yempilo yakhe – wafunda esikoleni enokuchema komculo futhi ngemva kokuphothula izifundo zakhe waba uthisha. Kodwa ukukhetha kokuqala kwaba yi-prosaic eyengeziwe - kufanele uphile futhi udle. U-Alvarez wayelungiselela umsebenzi wentela. Ngaphambi kokuthola idiploma yasenyuvesi, wantula izivivinyo ezimbalwa. Wayenefekthri yefenisha, futhi umculi usakhumbula ngenjabulo iphunga lokhuni. Umculo wawubonakala ungcwatshwa unomphela. Kodwa into emangalisa kakhulu ukuthi umculo owayazi i-tenor edumile wawungahlangene ne-opera! Ngo-1991, lapho uMarcelo eseneminyaka engaphansi kwamashumi amathathu, umculo "ongcwatshiwe" wazimemezela: ngokuzumayo wayefuna ukucula. Kodwa yini ukucula? Wanikezwa umculo we-pop, umculo we-rock, noma yini ngaphandle kwe-opera. Kwaze kwaba ngolunye usuku umkakhe embuza umbuzo: ucabangani nge-opera? Impendulo: Iwuhlobo lomculo engingalwazi. Futhi, unkosikazi wakhe wamletha kunhlolokhono ne-tenor ethile eyamcela ukuthi acule izingoma ezimbalwa ezidumile zesiNtaliyane ezifana O kuphela mio и Yenza i-Suriento. Kodwa u-Alvarez wayengabazi...

Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuze kube ngowokuqala njengomdlali ohamba yedwa endaweni yaseshashalazini yaseVenetian La Fenice, kwadlula iminyaka emithathu kuphela! UMarcelo uthi wasebenza njengohlanya. Ukweleta inqubo yakhe kowesifazane ogama lakhe linguNorma Risso ("ompofu, akekho owayemazi ..."), owamfundisa ukubiza amagama kahle. Ikusasa lelulele isandla kuye kumuntu wenganekwane uGiuseppe Di Stefano, uzakwethu kaMaria Callas. Wakuzwa e-Argentina phambi "kwabaphathi" beColon Theatre, ababenenkani benganaki u-Alvarez iminyaka eminingana. “Ngokushesha, ngokushesha, ngeke uzuze lutho lapha, thenga ithikithi lendiza uze eYurophu.” U-Alvarez ubambe iqhaza embukisweni wokugxuma ePavia futhi wawina kungalindelekile. Wayenezinkontileka ezimbili ephaketheni lakhe - neLa Fenice eVenice kanye noCarlo Felice eGenoa. Wakwazi ngisho nokukhetha ama-opera azowadlala okokuqala - lawa kwakuyiLa Sonnambula kanye neLa Traviata. Wahlolwa kahle ngabagxeki “benyathi”. Igama lakhe laqala "ukujikeleza" futhi iminyaka eyishumi nesithupha manje, njengoba u-Alvarez ejabulisa izilaleli zomhlaba wonke ngokucula kwakhe.

Intandokazi kaFortune, kunjalo. Kodwa futhi ukuvuna izithelo zokuqapha nokuhlakanipha. U-Alvarez uyi-lyrical tenor ene-timbre enhle. Ukholelwa ukuthi ubuhle bokucula busethunzini, futhi akalokothi avumele ukudela ama-nuances. Lona umpetha wokuqamba amabinzana, futhi uMbusi wakhe ku-"Rigoletto" ubonwa njengelungile kakhulu ngokwesitayela kule minyaka eyishumi edlule. Isikhathi eside, wabonakala ezilalelini ezinokwazisa eYurophu, eMelika naseJapane endimeni ka-Edgar (Lucia di Lammermoor), Gennaro (Lucretia Borgia), Tonio (Indodakazi Yebutho), u-Arthur (AmaPuritan), uDuke no-Alfred ama-opera uVerdi, uFaust noRomeo kuma-opera kaGounod, Hoffmann, Werther, Rudolf eLa bohème. Izindima "ezimangalisayo" ku-repertoire yakhe kwakunguRudolf kuLouise Miller noRichard ku-Un ballo ku-maschera. Ngo-2006, u-Alvarez wenza i-debut yakhe eTosca naseTrovatore. Isimo sakamuva sethusa abanye, kodwa u-Alvarez waqinisekisa: ungacula ku-Troubadour, ucabanga ngo-Corelli, noma ungacabanga ngo-Björling ... Eqinisweni, ukudlala kwakhe ku-Tosca kufakazele ukuthi uyena yedwa emhlabeni okwaziyo ukucula. i-aria Nezinkanyezi zazikhanya nawo wonke amapiyano e-Puccini okukhulunywe ngawo. Umculi (kanye ne-phoniatrist yakhe) ubheka isisetshenziswa sakhe sezwi njengokuhambisana nezici ze-lyric tenor "egcwele". Ngemva kokudlala indima ephawulekayo, uyihlehlisela iminyaka emibili noma emithathu, ebuyela kuLucia noWerther. Kubonakala sengathi akakasongelwa ngokudlala e-Othello nasePagliacci, nakuba eminyakeni yamuva i-repertoire yakhe iye yathuthukiswa ngezingxenye eziyinhloko ze-tenor eCarmen (i-debut ngo-2007 eCapitol Theatre eToulouse), u-Adrienne Lecouvreur ngisho no-André Chénier ( iqala ngonyaka odlule eTurin naseParis, ngokulandelana). Kulo nyaka, u-Alvarez ulinde indima kaRadames ku- "Aida" esiteji seCovent Garden yaseLondon.

UMarcelo Alvarez, wase-Argentina ohlala unomphela e-Italy, ukholelwa ukuthi ama-Argentina namaNtaliyane ayafana. Ngakho ngaphansi kwesibhakabhaka "bel paese - izwe elihle" lizizwa likhululekile ngokuphelele. INdodana uMarcelo yazalwa kakade lapha, okunomthelela ekuqhubekeleni phambili "kwe-Italianization". Ngaphandle kwezwi elihle, imvelo yamnika ukubukeka okukhangayo, okubalulekile ku-tenor. Uyayazisa isibalo futhi uyakwazi ukukhombisa ama-biceps angenasici. (Kuyiqiniso, eminyakeni yamuva nje, i-tenor isinzima kakhulu futhi isilahlekelwe ukukhanga kwayo ngokomzimba). Abaqondisi, amandla abo aphelele ku-opera u-Alvarez akhononda ngakho ngokufanelekile, abanalutho abangamhlambalaza ngalo. Kodwa-ke, ezemidlalo, kanye ne-cinema, kungenye yezinto azithandayo u-Alvarez. Futhi umculi unamathele kakhulu emndenini wakhe futhi uthanda ukucula eYurophu: cishe wonke amadolobha acula kuwo amahora amabili ukusuka ekhaya. Ngakho-ke ngisho naphakathi kokudlala, uphuthuma endizeni ukuze abuyele ekhaya futhi adlale nendodana yakhe ...
