A man full of confidence - Jonas Kaufmann
|
|
englische Übersetzung: Mie |
There are no opera houses which don't want to make a contract with Jonas
Kaufmann. He successively sang role debuts of leading roles at major opera
houses. He had a great success for each, and created sensations. "When I
believe that the role suits to me, I don't worry about doing my role debut
at a major opera house. The MET, Milano, London, Paris, etc, each major
opera house wants to make a contract with me in each season, so actually I
don't have time to try out new roles at small opera houses."
This
year he will appear on many stages in Japan. MET's "Don Carlo", Bologna's
"Carmen", and Bavarian State Opera's "Lohengrin".
"Don Jose is a very
challenging role for a singer. He makes an effort to be a good man, but
finally becomes a murderer. He is changing in the story. When he meets
Carmen he finds an emotion which he has never known before. He knows that
this is bad, but he can't resist. This conflict is terrible. The same may be
said about Don Carlo. A woman with whom he was engaged marries his father
the King. He is suffering from this conflict... The last duet with the
soprano is filled with unearthly brilliant music. Not only beautiful..."
He is not too ambitious. Maybe because of his confidence
"building his career steadily" "The career must be handled like building
a house. First of all, the foundation.... You must not start to build the
roof too soon. I will chose my roles well-balanced, not only heavy German
roles like Wagner. And I want to progress step by step..." |
