HFMT CELEBRATES REOPENING WITH HÄNDEL OPERA RINALDO

The Hamburg University of Music and Drama celebrated the reopening of its performance program as festively as possible: with Handel's Rinaldo as a grand summer opera. Until June 25, 2021, the HfMT invites you to enjoy the aria art of the composer who started his career at Hamburg's Gänsemarktoper and experienced his breakthrough as an opera composer 300 years ago with his Rinaldo at London's Queen's Theatre. His emotionally charged hits such as Lascia ch'io pianga and Cara sposa demand both legato melody and coloratura agility. In this way, the Master Opera graduates can ideally demonstrate how they put the vocal technique they have perfected during their studies at the service of emotions and characterization.

From the press reviews
For the editor of the daily newspaper WELT - headline: "A monument to love - it was "a pleasure to follow the one-and-a-half-hour Rinaldo event"; he summed up: "A successful premiere with great voices." The critic of the Hamburger Abendblatt saw "a musically fresh and worth seeing production" and emphasized the "strengths of the production in the music": "First and foremost Nora Kazemieh, who touchingly traced the emotional turbulence of the title hero with her multi-faceted mezzo-soprano." The reviewer of the online opera magazine O-Ton dared to make a comparison with the Handel premiere at the State Opera at the same time: "You can feel a bit like you're in a Handel city in Hamburg right now. On the one hand, the HfMT's production will be shown in June in the Forum of the Musikhochschule, while at the same time the Hamburg State Opera is also presenting Handel's Agrippina, which has just been released and is well worth seeing, with singers who have followed a longer career path. A comparison can be a lot of fun and give an idea of the potential development path of the young guard of the Hochschule."
