Opera - We love singing: Recent Episodes
Katia Arellano / Ricardo Ramirez
Music, and more particularly singing is always with us. A certain day we may find ourselves moody and with a melody from La forza del destino playing over and over again in our head. Or maybe we feel like a superhero as we've doing great at work and then we feel like Calaf solving the 3 riddles that Turandot has proposed. First, we would like to build a place where we can talk about our passion for singing in a positive way. There is already too much of those toxic places where we criticize endlessly the minimum error of a given singer. We need more places where we can be respectful and still express our differences, as art is perception and no one perceives art equally to one another.Our second proposal is to come and share, both Katia and I are pretty sure there are a million questions you have always asked yourself about singing and as singers are sometimes not the most approachable people, well we hope can answers some of those questions!!

This season is all about what impresses the public: high notes (sometimes super high notes), and ornaments. For a number of episodes we will be addressing the roles that more than once have left us wondering: How can the human voice do that? Premiering on Youtube and later audio dissemination to all streaming platforms.

Motivated by a very disappointing Werther that I attended recently, I thought that this would make for a good episode to go over the whole character, because many usually portray him with a very shallow analysis.

We are going back to La Forza, this Opera said to have a malediction on it. A true masterpiece for the baritone and tenor. And a world full hate and dispair, all to remind us that it is not us who decide our future. We are in the hands of destiny.

In this season we are reviewing the most popular arias of all times. Who doesn't know this lovely duet by Maestro Offenbach?
It takes not only two beautiful voices, but also two singers who know how to communicate to each other to make this music memorable.
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.
This will be a live session recording, subject to all technical challenges that this poses. So we beg your understanding should any trouble may arise.

In this season we are reviewing the most popular arias of all times. Who doesn't know this romanza, made very famous by tenor Plácido Domingo?
By far, one of the most interesting challenges that tenors like to undertake, but make no mistake,this is a demanding song so not everybody finds it suitable for his voice.

This July 26 at the Auditorio Ruíz de Alarcón in the city of Puebla we were so happy of presenting this program for you all who follow us in over 1000 cities in 96 countries.
This is part 2 comprises a tour around Mexican songs. We start with two "academic composers", moving to more popular on our 3 song and we close with 2 popular folklore songs.
-
Por si no te vuelvo a ver. María Grever.
-
Definición. Salvador Moreno.
-
Dime que si. Alfonso Esparza Oteo.
-
Peregrina. Ricardo Palmerín.
-
La Llorona. Canción Istmeña
ENCORE: Ah je ris de me voir si belle en ce miroir!. Faust. Charles Gounod.
Please notice this program was presented with a live audience whose native language is Spanish, you will find many comments are in that language to facilitate interaction.
Sound is very uneven as speaking to a headset and speaking to a microphone with a spoken voice is very different.
Personally, me Ricardo, I apologize for the problems in my songs as my recent recovery from the flu and the extenuating trip the day before were not the best conditions to provide a better result.

This aria is not so easy to tag, is is beautiful? impressive? distressing? maybe all of them and none at the same time. Here we understand Scarpia's dark motivation.

So in January we managed to get together and prepare a small concert for you all, we celebrated the 2 years of our podcast.
Many things went horribly wrong, to start with the pianist not being able to attend for a last minute injury and some other technical problems.
A song that we could not really nail back then is the song Volvere from Mexican composer María Grever. This extraordinary piece of music deserves some time to try to redo what we couldn't handle back then.

Just read or listen to the news or check "X" (formerly Twitter) to find the many of these "world leaders" looking for reasons to send their people to die for a war. Luciano Pavarotti in collaboration with other artists gave visibility to the horrible situation happening in Bosnia in the 90s of the past century. More than 30 years later, this song and the voice of Pavarotti can witness that nothing has changed except for names and places.

In this season we are reviewing the most popular arias of all times. This time it is a very popular Mexican song by Maestro Agustín Lara. Many great tenors, and sometimes even sopranos and baritones go for it as well.
This song is guaranteed an applause should it be part of any singer's concert.

This episode was recorded in the outdoors, so I beg your understanding in regards to the background noise.

In this season we are reviewing the most popular arias and songs of all times. Who doesn't know this piece of music that Andrea Bocelli made very famous in the 1990s?
This song has been part of the programs for tenors and sopranos across the globe since then. In this particular case, there was a polemic on whether this should be part of the season, which was resolved by a voting of our subscribers. This is the result of such voting.
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.
This was a live session recording that premiered first on Youtube, subject to all technical challenges that this poses. So we beg your understanding on the troubles you may find.

In this last time travel to Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, year 1952, we will witness a good variety of titles that show the wide range of roles and the versatility of her voice. Achievements that would add to would later be known as La Divina.
The result is a little uneven, with Rigoletto standing on the way and whose results are not that good, as she herself would admit years later.
Few times have the Orchestra and the Choir honored the singer and this farewell is wrapped up with one of the most touching moments in the history of this Opera house.
As a reference you can also check on Sophia Lambton's book, the author of The Callas Imprint - A centennial biography, which you can find in most of the world through Amazon.

This incredible piece of music has been sung by tenors for decades already and for sure for many decades to come. This aria, as many in this season, is unfortunately very often overdone, with singers paying to little attention to the notes of the Maestro on how this is expected to be sung.

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.

Author of the Callas Imprint - Sophia Lambton joins us to talk about this book she released this December 2023.
A lot has been said about Maria Callas, many authors have recycled the information on her, a good number of those books are poor in content and rich in speculations. Many of those books also are rich in sharing personal anecdotes of hers with the only purpose of making lots of money. Because, besides being a great artist, she was a money-making machine, which many continue to exploit in so many ways.
But Maria was a human like everyone else, with faults and qualities that are maximized in one way or another to prove one's personal perspective on hers.
We invite you to this conversation on. Should you feel interested in getting a copy of the book:

Maria Callas, one of the greatest artist of the past 100 years will be a recurring subject starting December 2023 to celebrate the well known "La Divina".
Callas is very often associated to bel canto roles and most of her works in French are unknown to most people. It is true that her later roles in this language are part of the final part of her career, when she struggled to manage her instrument.
In this fourth program we have Sophia Lambton joining us. She is the author of The Callas Imprint - A centennial biography, which you can find in most of the world through Amazon.

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!!!

Zarzuela romanzas are usually in the repertory of the Opera singers and this is how many people are familiar with the gender, despite not having had the opportunity of attending a Zarzuela performance never.
Zarzuela has a good number of characteristics that put it apart from the Opera and that of course is an extraordinary way to approach this Spanish gender.

Not enough attention is paid to the early days of Opera. One usually thinks that everything has remained the same since the Barbiere di Siviglia. But that is not true. Arias were sung differently, technique was different as well.

Come on, let's be sincere: we've all wanted to sing the most iconic role for a mezzo: Carmen, the gypsy who is not afraid of being herself, even if that means she will die. Carmen, a force of nature has participation throughout the complete opera and there is no way you have never heard her famous Habanera. But not only was Carmen given fabulous melodies, that is also the case for Escamillo, whose participation is shorter and still her Toreador song is also as famous as Carmen's arias.
We hope you will enjoy as much as we do with this look at the very much beloved Carmencita.

When we like to say to ourselves that we have progressed so much, that humanity has reached not only a good development in technology, but also in human rights and many other stuff, we are leaving out something that is very obvious: those childish behaviors of a good number of singers (artists in general as well).
How come that we find completely acceptable to call someone a divo or diva and take that as a license to do anything him pleases? From cancelling a given presentation, disdaining other singers and behaving like a child who wants everybody to wait until him/her feels in the mood for rehearsing.
All those stories that people like for gossiping and pretending that his Opera star is just hilarious when what he/she really is is non-professional. Come on people, let’s make some progress and let’s start calling all that for what it really is: poor emotional intelligence and lack of professionalism. That will make the world of Opera a much better place for everyone!!!

Singers are likely to look the other way when it has to do about talking openly of the limitations of his technique, his interpretation or his voice.
On the public’s side we have both: those whose idolatry for a given singer will limit them in the acceptance that their fav singer is just not the right voice for a given role, or that maybe their voice has severe problems in his emission technique. And the other group of people who will attack any, even the smallest problem of a singer, one can read many nasty comments in the internet with people increpating a singer for a given minor defect that does not meet the perfection standard.
People, when will we be accepting that singers, as all humans, do have to deal continuously with limitations of a very broad nature? As public, we need to be mature enough to accept that for example Callas was not the voice for some roles, why can we not do that in a respectful and rational way?
We will be talking about some common problems that make no singer perfect, even if he would like to think he is.
If you are looking for a place where we love music and we understand and respect different perspectives and thoughts, you are in the right place. Welcome!!!

An opera lover may have realized that the voice of his favorite singer sounds differently depending on the decade he recorded a given role. His voice may have been brighter when he was young, voice may have been very unstable as well, maybe his roles were not believable. As years passed by, he realized his singer had lost that brightness in his voice but now has gained in the stability of his voice and has several roles where he is at his prime. The last phase of a singer’s voice is a very hard both for the listener and the singer himself. Most of his attributes are now gone, now you can barely hear me even if sitting at the front seat and recall you could hear him even anywhere in the concert room some 15 years ago. How do both the listener and the singer face all the stages in the artistic and vocal evolution of the singer? How do we make the most of all those stages to keep the best in our hearts and memories?

Many books have been written and certainly there are many more to come that share funny anecdotes, quarrels, plots, and myths around the world of opera singing.
Is it true that a soprano can shatter a cup of glass with a high note? This very unlikely event is still believed by many, just to provide an example of how unfamiliar people are with singing and even more with science itself. People like reading about a singer who is cancelling a presentation because of a very unfortunate discussion with the theatre director, for instance. How does it add to art? Certainly nothing but gossiping is very well spread out. And how about the fact that a bad singing technique has devastated the voice of so many singers.
Of all those examples and many more we will have our weekly friendly conversation.

It is true many people expect Opera singers to sing out loud and give very high notes and it is also true that many sings do so just because they can whether that note goes with the style of the composer or not, or just to please the audience.
Do you know about the Eb that Maria Callas sang in Aida at the Palacio de Bellas Artes? If not, just google it and thousands of recordings, blogs, comments will be listed endlessly. As Maria stated it herself, this was not art, put pure acrobatics to display vocal power, but not art at all.
Less known is the highest note that Mado Robin sang in the Mad scene of Lucia, a Bb that leaves many people breathless. But how far should a singer go to display his capacities and well so many times to distract people from his singing artistic limitations and turns into just a plain circus?

Talking about a singer and the features of his singing may very easily become an obscure conversation, so full of words that only the initiates understand – or at least they seem to-. It is very likely that more than once we heard that Caballé had an extraordinary fiato or that her pianissimi had no parallel. What about when you have heard that a given singer has a very white voice with no squillo or that the mezzo sang an extraordinary cadenza?
Of course the technical terms that describe what artifacts the singer has can never replace the emotions, but most of the times they are an effective way to convey that emotion by means of a given vocal effect.
As we all here love music and singing, we all can easily agree that the more we know about it the more we’ll love it.

Is success granted if my voice is big and loud? If my voice has not great qualities at all, can I still sing something?

Music has and will continue to be a place for emotions of all sorts, from very negative like revenge and jealousy to the most beautiful such as love and tenderness or friendship. There are moments or days when we feel carried away by a certain piece of music, and that holds true for singers as well. In our minds, sometimes silently, sometimes moving our body to the tune, we can enjoy or look for shelter in a given aria or piece of music.
We really look forward to sharing with you some anecdotes of those moments when we are carried away by the magic of the melodies composed by Puccini, Verdi, Délibes, Saint-Saens, Grever, etc.
