On April 5th, the NCPA opera La Traviata was staged for the sixth time paying tribute to the great opera master, kicking off the NCPA Opera Festival 2021.
Conductor YU Long said, “This year marks the 120th anniversary of Verdi’s death. It is an honour for all the artists participating in the performance to pay tribute to the classics and to the art with La Traviata.”
Famous singer ZHANG Liping has performed in the NCPA’s La Traviata for several times. In the evening’s performance, she once again masterfully interpreted the heroine’s longing, anguish, hesitation and confusion.
As soon as the cast was announced, many audiences began to anticipate the first collaboration in opera between renowned baritone LIAO Changyong and famous tenor SHI Yijie.
In the performance, the silvery voice of the tenor and the deep, rich voice of the baritone not only harmonized with each other, but also conveyed Alfredo’s desire for true love and his father Germont’s affection for him.
No matter it’s a leading role or a supporting role, each character in La Traviata has distinctive personality traits. The NCPA Chorus, highly praised by YU Long, also gave a superb portrayal of glitzy Paris society.
The opera has impressed audiences with its unique stage design of a mirror. In this round of performance, the 264m² mirror once again brings the audience to the story in an interplay of reality and illusion.
On April 7th, the NCPA Resident singers ZHOU Xiaolin and KOU Jing will star and continue to take the audience through the touching and tragic emotions of the characters. This round of performances will last until April 11th.
