Laura Virella / Avaliações
Revisões de perfil
4Bravo to Long Beach Opera for their summer production of Robert Xavier Rodriguez’s “Frida,” which ended June 25. An opera as colorful as artist Frida Kahlo’s life and work, “Frida” explores the passion and pain and beauty of an important artist. It was made all the more magical being set in the Museum of Latin American Art’s sculpture garden under the stars and tied to a small, but wonderful exhibit of photography of Kahlo by Nickolas Muray.
As Maddalena, mezzo-soprano Laura Virella was totally believable--just as vulnerable to the charms of the Duke as Gilda was--and convincingly persuasive with her brother as she begged him to spare the Duke's life, even as he sings the famous 'La donna è mobile', driving the audience wild.
