UMiriam Gauci

Ndawana thize ekuqaleni kwawo-90s, ngiseParis, ngosuku lokugcina ngaphambi kokuhamba, ngazulazula sengathi ngiphonswe esitolo esikhulu somculo esinezitezi ezine. Umnyango wamarekhodi wawumangalisa nje. Ngemva kokukwazi ukusebenzisa cishe yonke imali, ngokungazelelwe ngezwa ingxoxo ngesiJalimane phakathi kwesivakashi esisodwa nomthengisi. Ngokusobala, wayengamqondi kahle, kodwa nokho, ekugcineni, ekhuphukela kwelinye lamashalofu anama-opera, ngokuzumayo wakhipha ekukhanyeni kukaNkulunkulu enye i-nondescript "ekabili" ngaphandle kwebhokisi. "Manon Lescaut" - Ngikwazile ukufunda isihloko. Khona-ke umthengisi waqala ukubonisa umthengi ngokuthinta ukuthi irekhodi lihle kakhulu (lolu hlobo lwesimo sobuso aludingi ukuhunyushwa). Wawabuka ngokungabaza ama-disc, wangawathatha. Ngokubona ukuthi inani lalifaneleka kakhulu, futhi ngase ngisele imadlana nje, nganquma ukuthenga isethi, nakuba amagama abadlali empeleni ayengangitsheli lutho. Ngamane ngayithanda le opera kaPuccini, kwaze kwaba yilapho ngicabangela ukuqoshwa okuyisibonelo kweSinopoli noFreni noDomingo. Inguqulo yayiyintsha ngokuphelele - 1992 - lokhu kwanda ilukuluku.

Lapho ngibuyela eMoscow, ngosuku lokuqala nganquma ukulalela okuqoshiwe. Isikhathi sasimfushane, kwadingeka ngiphendukele ekuhlolweni komthetho okudala okuzanyiwe nokwavivinywa futhi ngokushesha ngenza esinye seziqephu eziyintandokazi ze-opera emdlalweni wesibili othi: Tu amore? Kunjalo? Sei tu (Duet Manon no-Des Grieux), Ah! UManon? I-Mi tradisce (Des Grieux) kanye nesiqephu esimangalisayo se-polyphonic Lescaut esilandela lesi siqephu! Tu?… Qui!… ngokuvela kungazelelwe kukaLescaut, ezama ukuxwayisa abathandi bokusondela kwe-Geronte ngonogada. Lapho ngiqala ukulalela, ngavele ngadumala. Angikaze ngizwe ukudlala okuhle kangaka ngaphambili. Ukundiza nothando lwabacula ngabodwana, i-parlando kanye ne-rubato ye-orchestra, eholwa owomdabu wase-Iran u-Alexander Rabari, kwakumangalisa nje ... Obani laba oGauci-Manon noKaludov-De Grieux?

Unyaka wokuzalwa kukaMiriam Gauci kwakungelula ukuwusungula. Isichazamazwi esikhulu esinemiqulu eyisithupha sabahlabeleli (Kutsch-Riemens) sabonisa unyaka ka-1963, ngokweminye imithombo kwakungu-1958 (umehluko omkhulu!). Kodwa-ke, ngabahlabeleli, noma kunalokho ngabaculi, amaqhinga anjalo ayenzeka. Ngokusobala, ithalente likaGauchi lokucula lazuzwa ku-anti wakhe, owayengumculi we-opera omuhle. UMiriam wafunda eMilan (kuhlanganise neminyaka emibili noD. Simionato). Wabamba iqhaza futhi waba umnqobi emiqhudelwaneni yamazwi ka-Aureliano Pertile kanye no-Toti dal Monte. Ngosuku lokuqala, imithombo ehlukahlukene nayo iyaphikisana. Ngokusho kolwazi lwakamuva, ngo-1984 wenza e-Bologna ku-Mono-opera kaPoulenc ethi The Human Voice. Ngokomlando we-La Scala, ngo-1985, wacula lapha ku-opera esekhohliwe (kodwa eyake yaduma) i-Orpheus yomqambi wase-Italy ongumqambi wekhulu le-17 uLuigi Rossi (encwajaneni kaManon Lescaut, lokhu kucula kumakwe njengesiqalo). Kukhona ukucaca okwengeziwe emsebenzini wesikhathi esizayo womculi. Kakade ngo-1987, waba nempumelelo enkulu e-Los Angeles, lapho acula khona "La Boheme" noDomingo. Ithalente lomculi libonakale ngokucace kakhulu ezingxenyeni zikaPuccini. UMimi, uCio-Cio-san, uManon, uLiu izindima zakhe ezinhle kakhulu. Kamuva, naye wazibonakalisa ku-Verdi repertoire (Violetta, Elizabeth eDon Carlos, Amelia eSimone Boccanegra, Desdemona). Kusukela ngo-1992, Gauci uye njalo (cishe ngonyaka) eyenziwa Vienna Staatsoper (izingxenye Marguerite futhi Helena e Mephistopheles, Cio-Cio-san, Nedda, Elisabeth, njll), njalo ezwela amathalente amasha. Uthanda kakhulu umculi waseJalimane. Uyisivakashi esivamile se-Bavarian Opera futhi, ikakhulukazi, i-Hamburg Opera. KwakuseHamburg lapho ngagcina ngikwazile ukumuzwa bukhoma. Lokhu kwenzeka ngo-1997 emdlalweni othi "Turandot" oqondiswa nguGiancarlo del Monaco. Ukuqamba bekuthembisa. Yiqiniso, ukhonkolo oqinisiwe uGena Dimitrova, owayesekupheleni komsebenzi wakhe, wabonakala kimi endimeni yesihloko kakade kancane ... (indlela yokuyibeka kahle) ekhathele. Kodwa uDennis O'Neill (Calaf) wayesesimweni esihle. Ngokuqondene noGauchi (Liu), umculi wabonakala kuyo yonke inkazimulo yakhe. Amagama athambile athambile ekusebenzeni ahlanganiswe nenani elidingekayo lenkulumo, ukugxilisa kahle kwezwi nokugcwala kwephimbo (ngoba kuvame ukwenzeka ukuthi ithuluzi lemvelo elintekenteke njengezwi "liwele" emsindweni "oyisicaba" ongadlidlizi, noma ukuthuthumela ngokweqile).

Manje uGauchi useqhakazile. I-New York ne-Vienna, i-Zurich ne-Paris, i-San Francisco ne-Hamburg - leyo "indawo" yemidlalo yakhe. Ngithanda ukubalula enye yemidlalo yakhe ayidlala ku-Bastille Opera ngo-1994. Ngatshelwa ngomunye wabantu engangijwayelene nabo owayewuthanda lo mdlalo owawuthi “Madama Butterfly” ngale ngoma, owayehambele umcimbi lapho ayehlabeke umxhwele khona kakhulu UMiriam Gauci – Giacomo Aragal.

Ngale tenor enhle, u-Gauci uqophe i-La bohème ne-Tosca. Ngendlela, akunakwenzeka ukuthi ungasho amagama ambalwa mayelana nomsebenzi womculi emkhakheni wokuqopha. Eminyakeni engu-10 edlule wathola umqhubi "wakhe" - A. Rabari. Cishe wonke ama-opera amakhulu kaPuccini aqoshwa kanye naye (uManon Lescaut, La bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly, Gianni Schicchi, Dade Angelica), uPagliacci kaLeoncavallo, kanye nenani lemisebenzi kaVerdi ( “Don Carlos”, “Simon Boccanegra”, “Othello”). Yiqiniso, umqhubi, ozizwa engcono "inzwa" yesitayela sikaPuccini, uphumelela kancane ku-Verdi repertoire. Lokhu kubonakala, ngeshwa, kumbono ophelele wokusebenza.

Ubuciko buka-Gauci bugcina amasiko asendulo angcono kakhulu omculo we-operatic. Ayinalutho, ukukhanya kwe-"tinsel" ngakho-ke kuyathandeka.
