Fathers, gods, philosophers, emperors, sorcerers … The bass voice is typically used on the opera stage to convey nobility and authority. Although it often represent the resting and pivotal point of an entire opera, and its depth, power, and softness were regularly highlighted already in the Baroque period, bass singers are usually not the focus of attention.
In this recital specially tailored for Nahuel Di Pierro, the bass voice, accompanied by the Ensemble Diderot, takes center stage. Through a journey across 100 years of opera history, the program showcases the range and brilliance of compositions for this voice. With his spectacular vocal range of two and a half octaves, Nahuel Di Pierro interprets the great arias from Seneca’s death to Polyphemus from Handel’s Aci, Galatea e Polifemo with exceptional sensitivity and mastery. And it wouldn’t be Johannes Pramsohler and his Ensemble Diderot if the program didn’t also include some spectacular new discoveries.
