Gala Concert: Opera Gala Various

The programme was built around Mozart and his music with some added works by other composers, all with some connection to Mozart. It was a pity there was no room for information about that other music, nor to give some clues about the operatic numbers that were performed. Not all the arias and duets were probably well known to the majority of the audience.

It opened with the ever fresh overture to Le nozze di Figaro in a swift and vivacious reading, impeccably played. It made me remember what the witty Sir Thomas Beecham once said about the tempo for this piece: it should ideally take as long to play as it takes to boil an egg. With that in mind, one feels that Marie Rosenmir probably prefers her eggs rather runny. This was followed by two arias from the same opera: first the Countess’ sad first aria ‘Dove sono’ sung beautifully and with emotion by Paulina Pfeiffer and then her husband’s agitated aria from the third act, ‘Hai già vinta la causa’, sung with suppressed wrath by Jeremy Carpenter. Paulina has been a longstanding favourite at the festival for many years, while Jeremy was new to the festival but has well known from several performances at the Royal Stockholm for almost ten years.
