Press Review
OPERA MAGAZINE JANUARY 2014
Last November in Istanbul, Roberto Alagna offered the audience wide excerpts of CARMEN as well as WERTHER in a concert version. So, just before playing these two works in stage versions at the ROH (currently) and at the OPERA NATIONAL DE PARIS (in January/February 2014).
“In really great shape, the French tenor delivers a biting and solar singing, supported by a diction still as marvelous as ever. Top notes, particularly, are ringing easy and radiant: at most could we regret that he does not attempt the Bb ppp in the aria "La fleur que tu m’avais jetée". This double featuring (Don José and Werther), impassioned and genuine, is not burdened with superfluous sophistication, touches immediately, and leaves it to others, perhaps, to portray more tortured characters.“
