Abstract
Song recital Roberto Alagna and Aleksandra Kurzak
At the Zurich Opera House they last appeared together on stage in Cavalleria rusticana / Pagliacci, and now the dream duo can also be heard in a song recital: Aleksandra Kurzak, whom Zurich audiences have come to know primarily as Giuseppe Verdi's Gilda, and Roberto Alagna, who has appeared in roles such as Alfredo, Calaf, Cavaradossi, Don Carlo, Don José, Faust, Nemorino, Otello, Radamès, Rodolfo and Werther at the world's most important houses in a career spanning more than 30 years. The program includes duets and arias from the operas Tosca, Carmen, Otello and Adriana Lecouvreur. They will be accompanied on the piano by Marek Ruszczynski.
