In this season we are reviewing the most popular arias of all times. Who doesn't know this lovely piece from La Boheme by Maestro Puccini?

A short, still very effective song if done correctly both technically speaking and in the interpretation. Easy to sing? Not really, you will listen in this program why.

In this season we talk about the author, and we analyze the aria from a technical vocal point of view as well as the interpretation based on the situation the character is going through.

In this season we are reviewing the most popular arias of all times. Who doesn't know this aria from Werther by Maestro Jules Massenet?

By far, one of the most beautiful melodies and maybe saddest ever written for the tenor voice. There is no lyrical tenor who doesn't have it in his repertoire.

In this season we talk about the author, and we analyze the aria from a technical vocal point of view as well as the interpretation based on the situation the character is going through.

Is information provided by ChatGPT 3.5 worth reading it if I wanted to learn more about a given opera composer?

In the quest of answering it, this series will ask ChatGPT to provide info that when scarce, vague, just a platitude or simply wrong, new questions will be asked to guide the IA to provide more relevant information. Hope this technology does not get old too soon!!!

For this trip we need to put apart many things that we know now. We are travelling to a time where Maria Callas whas Meneghini Callas, she was not La Divina. She was not as famous as she came to be years later. We have no mobile telephones, meaning there is no way to learn immediately news from all other places almost at the time they are happening. This program is built with a number of sources to provide a bigger picture of what was actually happening back then.

This program, this first travel in time is: The expectation

Nerves can make the life oa singer miserable. The psychological strenght and balance are factors playing here. Others are self-inflicted nerves that result from a poor processing of putting together a recital.
