ROLANDO IN A TALK SHOW, 21 11 25
In German language
Translation : Eléonore
But one thing that remains the same: The beloved "Rolando atmosphere". A typical, uniquely friendly ambience that Rolando creates in a matter of moments, wherever he is.
An interesting novelty : Rolando doesn't read just one book in a week, this year he already reached the number of 70!
Maybe the most exciting question : "Can you do nothing for a few minutes?" The answer : "Gladly, and it's especially good. Sometimes I try to do nothing for ten minutes; it's not easy to stay like that for ten minutes, just to look around, I try not to think about anything."
Some of Rolando's thoughts :
"I love being a "flâneur" ....
"Walking down the street, discovering people..."
"This is different from meditation..."
"Music brings people together."
"Music is a language."
Rolando talked about his new album : "Orfeo son io", and hIs common work with Christina Pluhar for many years, This CD is a musical journey, from the 17th century to the 20th. From Monteverdi to Gardel and Bonfá. He mentioned that he loves to sing all of Monteverdi's operas.
Another exciting question : "Before entering the stage, are you nervous and have you stage fright?" Rolando : "I'm always a little nervous, especially in the first few days of a production."
Some thoughts about his staging of "La sonnambula" in New York and the problems of a singer being stage director :
"What does this singer do as a director?" ask the collegues, but when they see the result, they accept him."
Mozartweek also was, of course, among the topics discussed.
Some hilarious moments with this question : "Eating a Frankfurt sausage with mustard. It's good for the voice, or it's a passion?." Rolando : "Yes, it's a passion."
The talk show offered some splendid minutes of Rolando's singing and dancing as Orfeo in "Vi ricorda o boschi ombrosi".
Rolando's most heartwarming words : "One speaks soul to soul."
KÖSZÖNÖM, ROLANDO!

"DE MAISTRE AND FRIENDS" - 11 NOVEMBRE 2025 - SALZBOURG- SECONDE CHRONIQUE ET VIDEO

Salzburg, 11 11 25 - Meisterkonzert
MASTERS OF THEIR ART IN "DE MAISTRE AND FRIENDS"
With another exquisite choice of fabulous artists, Rolando brought us the bright top of musicians.with their supreme quality of their arts.
The performers were : Magali Mosnier, flute, Lucero Tena, castanets, Xavier de Maistre harp, Rolando, singing.
With the softest sounds of her musical instrument, Magali Mosnier played with Xavier de Maistre the Fantasy 124 by Saint-Saëns in an unusual combination of flute and harp. The composer is unfortunately rarely performed in Hungary, so it was a fine expérience to hear the virtuoso piece in this instrumental version without the more typical piano. The two superb performers offered all the passion and the great beauty of this music.
The Fantasy 79 by Fauré also had a "change" of instrument, the harp took over the role of the piano. This piece also has its highest demands in agility.
These were a wonderful starter to the concert.
Xavier de Maistre performed "Vltava" by Smetana, this symphonic poem for a large orchestra, but for this concert the artist played a version arranged for harp.
It was a full marvelous wonder, an extraordinary and exceptional musical creation : In the play of Xavier de Maistre, the harp made the whole orchestra, every musical instrument. The abundantly flowing, melodic passages were thrilling. The brilliant, delicate play of the fingers on the strings was exciting.
Endless skillfulness and mastery were also brought by Lucero Tena with her castagnets. I heard her play 15 years ago in a concert, also with Rolando in Berlin. The almost incredible play, the rhythmic sensibility, the scintillating, brilliant virtuosity of Lucero Tena have not lost anything over the years. The pieces by Albeniz and Giménez are difficult, they are characterized by extreme virtuosity. Lucero Tena is a phenomenon.
When I hear the first note of Rolando, I always feel the same way as at the very first time, 15 years ago : The emotional beauty of the voice holds me, I can't get enough of listening to it.
With his attractive, enchanting performance, Rolando showed all the fabulous magnificence and grandeur of the human voice and its commanding presence.
He chose "Melanconia" by Bellini, "Aprile" by Tosti, "Rondine al nido" by de Creszenzo and one of my biggest, most beloved favorites : "Musica proibita" which he always sings with a special magic. As usual, he mesmerized the audience through his compelling singing.
A concert that brought limitless warmth and an extended standing ovation from the audience who wanted to show its great appreciation!
KÖSZÖNÖM, ROLANDO!

"DE MAISTRE AND FRIENDS" - 11 Novembre 2025 - SALZBOURG - PHOTOS ET PREMIERE CHRONIQUE
La chronique d'Antonella :
Concerto de Maistre & friends a Salisburgo
La sera dell'11 novembre nella Sala Grande del Mozarteum di Salisburgo si è svolto un concerto molto gradevole e insolito, dal titolo "de Maistre & friends", in cui al bravissimo arpista Xavier de Maistre si sono aggiunti la flautista Magali Mosnier (flauto traverso), la leggenda delle nacchere Lucero Tena (ormai ottantenne!) e naturalmente Rolando, in veste non solo di amico ma qui anche di "padrone di casa". E a proposito di veste... Rolando era anche particolarmente elegante, in giacca e gilet di velluto blu scuro. Xavier ha interpretato tutti i pezzi in programma, insieme, di volta in volta, o alla flautista, o alla suonatrice di nacchere, o alla voce di Rolando, ma ha suonato anche alcuni assolo. Per quanto riguarda i pezzi strumentali, presenti sia nella prima che nella seconda parte, sono stati eseguiti brani di Saint-Saens, Smetana, Fauré, Henriette Renié, De Falla, Albéniz, Gimenez. Rolando ha eseguito nella prima parte "Malinconia, ninfa gentile" di Bellini e "Aprile" di Tosti, nella seconda "Rondine al nido" di De Crescenzo e "Musica proibita" di Gastaldon, con la sua ben nota intensità e la sua capacità di trasportare il pubblico sulle ali dell'emozione. Xavier e Rolando hanno anche intrattenuto l'uditorio con qualche siparietto parlato (purtroppo solo in tedesco), rinnovando tra l'altro l'annuncio di una prossima tournée di "Serenata Italiana". Grandissimo entusiasmo e fragorosi applausi per tutti, e in particolare, com'è ovvio, per Lucero Tena, ancora vivacissima, abile e piena di brio ad onta della non verdissima età. Nel finale, è stato eseguito un bis suonato a tre, in cui Rolando si è inserito verso il finale cantando (se chi scrive non è in errore) La Comparsa di Ernesto Lecuona. Gli interpreti sono stati richiamati sul palcoscenico più e più volte dal pubblico in visibilio, con un crescendo di applausi che ha concluso in tripudio la splendida serata.

PELLEAS ET MELISANDE - OPERA DE VIENNE - 5 NOVEMBRE 2025 + BONUS (CRITIQUE)
La chronique d'Eléonore :
Vienna State Opera, 05 11 25
PELLÉAS ET MÉLISANDE
And the fourth ... !!!
Based on the play by Maurice Maeterlinck, the opera has three extraordinary roles. For this series of four performances, Vienna State Opera offered the most luxurious cast possible : ROLANDO as Pelléas of all Pelléas, Kate Lindsey as Mélisande and Simon Keenlyside as Golaud. It is impossible to imagine a more perfect cast. An encounter of three immense artists who made these evenings the pinnacle of operatic performance.
For me, the fourth evening was the most powerful one, with all the benefits of a fully mature performance and the presence of extraordinary singers, orchestra and conductor at the absolute top of their artistry, at the highest point of their artistic mastery.
THE VOICE and the stage presence of Rolando brought the same magnificence. Rolando has all the inspiring qualities and an immense characterization power and ability to render and paint this personality.
His acting showed love and mildness, worry and fright, lack of strength and indecision ...
His notes were wonderful, filled with heart wrenching beauty, poignant poetry in every moment, creating an unbelievable impact and an unsurpassed atmosphere.
Kate Lindsey was the ideal Mélisande, she depicted a fragile, extremely vulnerable figure. Her Mélisande was fearful and weak, but her love for Pelléas showed an internal strength, determination and, even, the courage needed to look for her ring. A perfectly portrayed character. Her voice was exceptionally fine, with unearthly beautiful moments.
Golaud is a real monster, cruel to everyone, he is brutal, savage, keeping under control his whole family. Simon Keenlyside was excellent, he drawed this frightening creature with infinite intensity and force. The passion of his voice and portrayal engaged the audience.
An unusual, interesting use of the curtain : on this immense stage, a huge black panel functioning as a kind of curtain shrank into asymmetrically narrowing squares, the last one of these squares, on the left side of the stage, showing a tiny piece of the set, as if looking through a window.
The culmination of this fabulous series! With standing ovations!
KÖSZÖNÖM, ROLANDO!

PELLÉAS ET MÉLISANDE
To see a production with ROLANDO for a third time is always a distinguished and cherished experience.
With its unique symbolism, this opera allows varied approaches, it offers different interpretations.
To respond to all these challenges, Rolando's magnificence as Pelléas requires deep reflection from the spectator, a complete detachment from reality.
Rolando's incredible ease on stage, his skills in emotional connection and his effortless presence in every stage situation, even in the most unexpected and almost unrealistic scenes of this current staging, deserve the deepest and the most sincere admiration, just as his ability to react to the unexpected ...
And amidst all this, the amazing voice is there with its legendary beauty and limitless expressivity.
The small changes from one performance to another, the improvisations are all the wonders of live performances.
"Je t'aime!" - sang Pelléas, "Je t'aime, moi aussi!" - sang Mélisande/ on ethereal, otherworldly beautiful voices.
The sublime at its highest ...
KÖSZÖNÖM, ROLANDO!
