Rolando Villazón - his name is synonymous with passion and temperament! A man full of emotion and enthusiasm, a music mediator without the finger-wagging, one of the most important singers of our time, a fascinating performer who you believe, in short: an artistic personality who simply always gives his all.
Rolando Villazón experienced his definitive breakthrough with his congenial partner Anna Netrebko in Salzburg's "Traviata" in 2005 - a production that has long since become musical history. In Andermatt, the exceptional artist can be experienced with his very personal homage to the world of opera: Works by Giuseppe Verdi, Gaetano Donizetti, Jules Massenet and others will fill the concert hall with dramatic, heartbreaking, love-laden and hopeful sounds.
In an interview with cultural journalist Jakob Buhre, Villazón, the soulful star tenor who describes culture as the "soul of society", finds an extraordinary comparison for the medium of opera - the letter: "The singers and musicians are the ink and the pen; the media, record companies and opera houses are the envelope, post office and paper; and there is one recipient: the audience. Some expect this letter, they still want to receive such letters. Others no longer even know that these letters still exist. But once they receive one, they get this fantastic thing: food for the soul."
The audience enjoys this nourishment for the soul when Rolando Villazón and the Swiss Orchestra, conducted by Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer, perform arias from Italian and French operas, zarzuelas and operettas, transforming the Andermatt Concert Hall into an opera stage.
Arias by Giuseppe Verdi, Gaetano Donizetti, Jules Massenet and others
