The Euskalduna Palace collapsed this Friday with soprano Nadine Sierra in the fourth act of ‘Roméo et Juliette’. After a superb performance of the aria ‘Amour, ranime mon courage’ (Love, revive my courage), the audience cheered and cheered her on with such intensity that she had no choice but to offer an encore. It is a five-minute piece of great difficulty, requiring energetic and daring singing. The American singer is in a state of grace and is being the big star of the opening of the ABAO season.
There is still one performance left, next Monday, and there is an extra incentive: the role of Juliet in Gounod’s opera is the last character she will play on stage until 2024. This same week it was announced that she is canceling her participation as Liù in ‘Turandot ‘, scheduled for November at the Gran Teatre del Liceu’, because he has not recovered from “some muscle discomfort” that he has been carrying since September. However, the truth is that in Bilbao she is giving herself without reservation. As soon as he steps on stage and sings ‘Je veux vivre’ (I want to live) he wins over the fans. Since her debut in the capital of Biscay, last Saturday the 21st, she has achieved nothing but triumphs with Julieta. It is a role that she tackled for the first time four years ago at the San Francisco Opera and even then she conquered specialized critics and spectators.
In the Euskalduna he is accompanied by the Mexican tenor Javier Camarena, who makes his debut in the role of Romeo, and in the pit is the Euskadiko Orkestra under the command of Lorenzo Passerini. The stage direction is by Giorgia Guerra and the assembly is functional and symbolic. It is limited to a timeless stage box, with a multipurpose monolith. There is nothing that clashes with the historical context of the plot. The costumes refer to the most idealized and sumptuous fashion of the late 14th century and the video projections provide dynamism. It is a simple and schematic proposal.
