Krause was impeccable at keeping his voice in shape and was very selective about which roles he kept in his repertoire, so he was able to sustain a very long career. I can hear the possibility of a more spinto, fuller sound in Anduaga’s future if he cultivates his instrument as it matures - more like a Pavarotti, or Domingo in his tenor prime.

Krause was singing his signature roles like Werther at 70 with the freshness of a 40 year old from reviews I’ve read. He was a tall slim handsome man and at 70 still dramatically plausible. Rumour has it he was La Stupenda’s favourite tenor partner.

With a young tenor such as Mr. Anduaga, in his late twenties, he may indeed have a long, successful career, and not be a “flash in the pan,” but any singer that young must always be careful to never push their voice beyond its natural capabilities. Right now he is singing roles in the bel canto repertoire, such as Arturo in Bellini’s Puritani, Nemorino in Donizetti’s L’Elisir and the Duke in Verdi’s Rigoletto.
Most singers with the longest-lasting operatic careers also usually have a regular voice coach who acts as a technical adviser, telling the singer if there are any vocal weaknesses which might become problematic or bad vocal habits which require correction before they hurt the singer’s technique. If he’s careful, he may even become the next Placido Domingo, still singing well into his early 80’s (he turns 83 on January 21!!!)TruHart1 😎
He should take Alfredo Kraus as his role model.

Will do. Have you been to the hotel’s other eatery, I think across the river, perhaps ferried by the facility to the spa location? I think dinner only. Appears more Asian-themed cuisine.

I have never been to Hong Kong but I’m now considering it for next year. Some of the advertisements on new.gayhk.com are enough to make you want to catch the next flight out.

Last night I attended the JDF recital at the Sydney Opera House. The 2700 seat hall was packed to capacity. When he walked onto the stage the roar from the audience was almost deafening. A large contingent of local Peruvians waved the flag of Peru and called out words of encouragement in Spanish. I should add this was an evening in which usual concert decorum went out the window.
The main body of the recital consisted of well known arias by Bellini, Donizetti, Rossini, Verdi, Puccini and Gounod. He was magnificent. A showman to his fingertips.
As Marc from Cali reported for his encore he came onstage with his guitar and sang a number of Peruvian songs to the delight of the Peruvians in the audience and at times asked them to join in.
I thought this was going to be the end but how wrong I was. He returned with the pianist and sang 6 encores including Ah mes amis from Daughter of the Regiment (with its 8 high C’s), La Donna Mobile, Nesun Dorma and Granada. After each number the audience reacted with increasing levels of delirium.
It would be the understatement of the century to say that this was a recital like no other.

Xabier Anduaga MET debut
in Opera

This is slightly off topic but Jose Carreras and Placido Domingo are doing a national tour of Australia as a duo in the next few months. I will not be honouring them with my presence. I sincerely hope Mr Anduaga doesn’t follow in the footsteps of Carreras in embarking on a totally inappropriate repertoire.
