René Pape at Caffè Taci in New York

[WhiteProfondo]

René singt die Leporello-Arie viel zu forciert, da ist überhaupt keine Linie drin, nur Gehacke, das war niks!

Hier ist ausgesprochenes Legato gefordert, was René auch durchaus kann, aber wenn ihn vorher noch nicht gehört hat, wäre ich jetzt grade ein Fan von ihm, aber ich weiß ja, daß er es besser kann...

"Der Tenor, der im Hintergrund schreit...." Ob das wohl Absicht war? Bekanntlich gibt es ja immer eine leichte Rivalität zwischen Tenören und Bässen.

I did get to see him do Leporello, where he stole the show (from Hampson), and 4 Villains where he rocked out with his _ out for real. It was so dark and beautifully sung, but still kinda funny...

I may or may not have chased him across the plaza, pretending he dropped a dollar. lol.

(I just tried to post this) I saw him as Leporello and he stole the show (from Hampson). His 4 villains was amazing-beautifully sung, dark, and yet funny. And seeing him as the Sprecher with Kurt Moll as Sarastro was like beyond heaven (even in the production is a little much)
