Calaf, role debut in Turandot by Puccini
Teodor Ilincai will make another role debut, as Calaf in Turandot by Giacomo Puccini. On May 31 he will perform this part at the National Romanian Opera Cluj-Napoca alongside Lilla Lee (Turandot), Irina Săndulescu Bălan (Liu) and Simonfi Sandor (Timur).
Then, in July and August, he will be Calaf in seven performances on the stage of the New Naional Theatre in Tokyo.
In Japan, Turandot is part of the "Summer Festival Opera 2019-20 Japan ↔ Tokyo ↔ World" project. As the climax of the current season, Ono Kazushi will conduct Puccini's Turandot which is a co-production with Tokyo Bunka Kaikan. Furthermore, in the pit we welcome the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, of which Ono is the musical director. Turandot is Iréne Theorin, Liù is Eri Nakamura and Timur is Riccardo Zanellato. Performances take place on July 12, 14, 18, 20, 22, 27 and August 3.
Cavalleria rusticana in Barcelona
Amounting virtually to twin artistic manifestos, they become, in Michieletto's version, the two sides of the same coin, with characters from Cavalleria rusticana appearing in Pagliacci and vice-versa. The topics of the two operas, both set in 1950s Italy, also intertwine in the visual resources used. A veritable "slice of life", to quote from the sung prologue to Pagliacci.
Teodor Iincai si Turridu in Cavalleria rusticana, alongside Oksana Dyka (Santuzza), Ángel Ódena (Alfio) and Elena Zilio (Mamma Lucia) at Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona, on December 7,10,12,15,19 and 21.
