To the folks at Schmopera, I am humbled! mezzo-soprano Wallis - TopicsExpress



          

To the folks at Schmopera, I am humbled! mezzo-soprano Wallis Giunta showed off some seriously polished singing as Ruggiero’s fiancée...She had incredible coloratura in a few damn-difficult arias...Giunta reminded us why we love her so much. Her deft navigation between head voice and chest, vocal lines that seemed to last forever, and delicate switches between the male Ricciardo and the female Bradamante...Giunta, known well for her work in pants roles, takes it one step further actually playing a woman pretending to be her brother. There were moments when Lindsay and McHardy were doing some fabulous singing stage right and I was hopelessy glued to Giunta on stage left as she struggled to hide Bradamante’s emotions behind the veil of Ricciardo.
