THE POWER OF PERFECTION
ROLANDO as Hoffmann - St. Gallen - 18 10 2026
Greatest night for Opera, THE ARTIST and the audience
Hoffmann is Rolando's favorite role ... rightly so...
This role allows him to experience, to express, and to play through the fullest range of all human emotions, with all their finest nuances
A most memorable, unforgettable performance that will remain deeply etched in the memory of all those fortunate and lucky enough who were there.
How to keep finding new words and expressions, proper and suitable for just attempting to describe this unbelievable vocal experience, the immeasurable magic and beauty of THE VOICE (in all caps !) and the more than fantastic acting.
The magnificent essence of Rolando's art ...
I loved every moment, each note, each reaction, each movement, ... impossible to list all .. but some of them :
In Luther's tavern with the "Légende de Kleinzach", brilliantly sung and superbly performed .
Hoffmann's meticulous reactions and behavior in the whole scene of Olympia ... his gullibility and naivety
The unbelievable sweetness of the voice in "C'est une chanson d'amour" .., .his purest affection for Antonia, and all the desperate emotions in Hoffmann's final heart-rending cry : "Antonia" ...
Hoffmann's fervent ardor for Giulietta, the magic of the voice in "O, Dieu, quelle ivresse"
At the end of the performance, when Rolando joined the other artists during the applause, some young voices from the rear part of the auditorium shouted : "Zugabe ! Zugabe ! " ("Encores ! Encores !")
Standing ovations, bravos, everything that expressed the incredible enthusiasm of the audience.
Each time another peak in Rolando's fabulous career.
KÖSZÖNÖM, ROLANDO !
