Whoever reads something about the singer Samuel Marino, comes across one word again and again: "vocal miracle". In fact, the Venezuelan has a natural soprano voice, unlike countertenors, who can only reach high notes by falsetto. Due to hormonal circumstances, the voice never broke, the 28-year-old has retained his boyish soprano, but at the same time has the lung capacity of an adult. With his strong voice, rising effortlessly to three-bowed C, he embodies the ideal of a baroque castrati. This predestines him for the corresponding opera roles by Handel and Co. However, he shows that his stylistic horizon is much broader at this matinee concert with a colorful bouquet of arias and songs, which also includes Mozart and the bel canto repertoire.
After the concert there will be an artist talk.
