Watson und Nosky agierten in unaufdringlich präziser Ausgewogenheit als brillante Geschichtsschreiber wie -erzähler.

Ein Gedankenfetzenfliegen: Vivaldi mit der Handel and Haydn Society

Kantate und Instrumentalkonzerte vermitteln in Zeiten kleinerer Besetzung das Gefühl von Oper – und das ziemlich groß. Eine gelungene Flucht.

Kevin Wells

Kevin Wells was bitten by the opera bug at 10, having heard a 1936 recording of Jussi Björling singing “Che gelida manina”. He has never been the same since. A student of voice, performance practice, the history of singing and opera, he holds advanced degrees in Italian and has lived and worked in Italy off and on since the 70s. La Scala became a second home as the Met had been during college daze. Now in his native Boston, he works as translator, tutor, and language coach, haunts Symphony Hall, and would haunt the Opera House had it not been demolished in 1958!
