“Sono sorprendenti la naturalezza e la pregnanza drammatica con cui Jessica Pratt– al suo debutto nella parte - riesca a restituire il mescolarsi incessante di entrambe le facce della regina, catalizzandole di volta in volta in nostalgia, fierezza, isteria, sospiro, senso di colpa, dolore, delirio. Benché sulla carta la sua vocalità abbia da sempre trovato perfetta dimensione in ruoli più affini al soprano leggero (Elvira, Amina, Lucia, Adelaide, Gilda), riscopriamo qui uno spessore tragico inedito, oltre a riconfermare la solidità tecnica e l’intelligenza musicale di un’interprete straordinaria. Tutte le puntature in acuto sono da brivido come di consueto, ma il soprano australiano privilegia in generale la ricerca di espressione rispetto alla pura potenza, dimostrando maniacale cura del fraseggio e una densità emotiva sempre ben calibrata, mostrando robustezza timbrica anche nel registro medio-grave.“
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
“The naturalness and dramatic intensity with which Jessica Pratt – making her debut in this role – manages to convey the incessant mixing of both sides of the queen is astonishing, capturing them at various times in nostalgia, pride, hysteria, sighs, guilt, pain, and delirium. Although on paper her vocality has always found a perfect fit in roles more akin to the light soprano (Elvira, Amina, Lucia, Adelaide, Gilda), here we rediscover an unprecedented tragic depth, in addition to reaffirming the technical solidity and musical intelligence of an extraordinary performer. All the high notes are thrilling as usual, but the Australian soprano generally prioritizes the search for expression over pure power, demonstrating meticulous attention to phrasing and a consistently well-calibrated emotional density, showing timbral robustness even in the middle-low register.”

...here she was — The Queen. Taking just a few moments to build herself up, Jessica Pratt gave one of the finest performances of her life. Her middle register was impeccable, it was soft and deep, articulation was clear and detailed upon the refined orchestra background. Her coloratura was filigree. But her finest moment came at the end, when merged with her role she turned into rather a terrifying creature, releasing her powerful bottom sound with a full chest...

...ed eccola — la Regina. Dopo essersi presa qualche istante per prepararsi, Jessica Pratt ha offerto una delle interpretazioni più straordinarie della sua carriera. Il suo registro centrale impeccabile: morbido e profondo, con un'articolazione chiara e dettagliata sullo sfondo raffinato dell'orchestra. La coloratura delicata come un ricamo. Ma il momento più memorabile è arrivato alla fine, quando, completamente calata nel suo ruolo, si è trasformata in una creatura spaventosa, liberando un suono grave e potente con il pieno utilizzo del registro di petto...

Forcing my brain to function the morning after two orchestral rehearsals of Devereux. 😅
Having fun working on all the details with Kamal Khan online. We are so lucky to have access to our team wherever we are in the word! I have always coached online with my Dad from Australia since I moved to Italy over twenty years ago and was very used to it but recently so many more people have moved online and it makes for great opportunities to grow and develop for someone like me who is always on the road… tomorrow morning before the two stage orchestra rehearsals I will have my german lesson with the ever patient @gallgerhard too (time to refresh the dialogues for the Queen of the Night in Munich this Christmas)

“È inutile dire che la cantante australiana ha dalla sua una tecnica decisamente sicura che le permette di arrivare fino a note estreme in acuto con indubbia facilità. Anche agilità e infiorettature vengono snocciolate con una precisione disarmante. Inaspettatamente sorprendenti, nella recita di ieri sera, anche le note “di petto” contemplate dal difficile ruolo di Elisabetta. Quel che più è emerso in ogni caso è l’indubbia generosità della Pratt, in un ruolo sicuramente non facile superandolo brillantemente con grande grinta, determinazione e personalità.”

“It goes without saying that the Australian singer possesses a remarkably secure technique that allows her to effortlessly reach extreme high notes. Her agility and ornamentation are delivered with disarming precision. Surprisingly impressive in last night’s performance were also the “chest notes” required by the challenging role of Elisabetta. What stood out most, however, was Pratt’s undeniable generosity in tackling a role that is certainly not easy, which she overcame brilliantly with great energy, determination, and personality.”

Son agilité et ses ornements sont exécutés avec une précision désarmante.

Ce qui a le plus marqué, cependant, c’est la générosité indéniable de Pratt, qui a brillamment surmonté un rôle certainement difficile avec beaucoup d’énergie, de détermination et de personnalité.”

“her agility and pinpoint accuracy in the upper reaches is exceptional. Here, she also displayed a venomous chest register when signing Roberto’s death warrant and her challenging final scena was wonderfully sung, especially “Quel sangue versato” (That spilled blood rises to heaven) as the horrified queen calls for justice”.

“La sua agilità e la precisione millimetrica nelle note più alte sono eccezionali. Qui, ha anche mostrato un registro di petto incisivo mentre firmava la condanna a morte di Roberto, e la sua scena finale, tanto impegnativa, è stata meravigliosamente interpretata, soprattutto ‘Quel sangue versato’, quando la regina inorridita invoca giustizia.”

Sarà per me un grande onore aprire la stagione lirica 2025 del Teatro Massimo Bellini di Catania debuttando nel ruolo di Norma nel segno del 190º anniversario della morte di Vincenzo Bellini. Il cartellone parte il 18 gennaio con Norma, sommo capolavoro del compositore a cui il teatro stesso è intitolato. La scelta non è dunque casuale, e rappresenta anzi l’inizio di una nuova tradizione: da ora in avanti l’inaugurazione del tempio etneo della musica renderà omaggio ogni anno al “Cigno catanese”, portando in scena una delle sue opere.
Lo spettacolo sarà dedicato alla memoria del grande musicologo ed esegeta belliniano Domenico De Meo, dando il via alle celebrazioni e iniziative - di carattere non solo artistico, ma anche storico e filologico - che saranno varate in occasione dell’importante ricorrenza, per rendere omaggio al genius loci che ha segnato la storia del melodramma.
