Vhe Mexican sopranos were completely convincing in the winter garden of the Gramatneusiedler musical family.
Five caused a big surprise, very good sopranos and an absolutely entertaining surprise. “The Story of a Mexican Diva”, that's the name of the program, told in the form of European opera arias, Operetta songs and Mexican concert songs are one of the many untold stories about it, what lies behind a Mexican woman, until she's a diva.
A really interesting and entertaining topic, which was presented in a touching but also incredibly funny way. A special surprise was the charming presenter and singer Adriana Flores, the soprano Stephany Pena (Colombia) before. Adriana Flores talked about the development of Mexican culture and accompanied the talented singers through the imagined story of a Mexican diva, speaking very elegantly and in good German.
Audience roared with enthusiasm
The story is the CV, which could certainly correspond to that of an international singer. The brilliant Russian pianist Nadezda Peterson accompanied the five talented singers on the piano. In this case the word “accompany” took on a completely different meaning. Peterson didn't just push himself musically, but also subtly but perfectly into the action in terms of acting.
But the big surprise was the voices and design skills of the five young women. Because that, what you expect from female students, They had certainly outgrown them long ago. They were without exception, without a doubt great.
The audience roared with enthusiasm, which also expressed the demand for an encore, which resulted in an additional climax. One would like to say, that this concert was without question one of the best and most surprising events, which you could experience in the winter garden of the Wittner family!
