Intérprete: Samuel Mariño

Die Internationalen Gluck Festspiele in der Metropolregion Nürnberg tragen 2026 das Motto Amor & Psyche. Mit der konzertanten Aufführung der faktisch vergessenen Reformoper Paride ed Elena gelang dem künstlerischen Leiter Michael Hofstetter ein echter Coup.

The sopranista voice type is rare although not unknown, but there are very few who are an unmitigated joy to listen to: Samuel Mariño is one of those rarities. 

Adele Thomas makes a good case for Semele's operatic credentials in her production which makes effective nods towards Baroque opera’s devotion to spectacle.

A post post-modern production of Berenice threw distraction upon distraction at the audience, but was saved by good singing and orchestral playing.
