To be honest with you all, I don’t usually share my preparation and practice because one, I never remember to make videos and if I do I hate how I look (poor hubby usually manages to convince me to let him
publish maybe one in ten videos that he makes during rehearsals of shows)
Anyhow, I have decided to make an effort in this department and share some of my preparation for this next debut no matter how I look 😅
This is a small moment from today’s coaching with @kamalkhanopera on La Straniera, one of the main challenges in this score is balancing the upper register with the chest and middle register. If I give too much up top it can weaken the middle and also going the wrong way into chest will tire my voice. More chest notes to come…
Let me know if you want more videos like this… I have plenty of cats and dogs if you all prefer cat videos 🐈🐈🐈🐈⬛🐈⬛

“A vestire i panni della sventurata Alaide è una delle regine del belcanto del panorama lirico mondiale, Jessica Pratt. Ormai il binomio Pratt-Bellini è quasi inscindibile e il soprano australiano è di casa nel territorio siciliano. Il pubblico ne attende l’ingresso con trepidazione e non si limita nelle ovazioni. La Pratt dà conferma ancora una volta dell’esperienza maturata nell’affrontare questo repertorio: l’espressività che scaturisce da ogni frase o sguardo supplisce all’assenza di allestimento scenico…Durante l’intera serata Jessica Pratt continua ad emozionare con toccanti frasi in pianissimo, i suoi interminabili fiati e le colorature sfolgoranti che riempiono tanto le orecchie quanto il cuore di chi le ascolta.”
- Federica Faldetta
OperaClick
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
"Taking on the role of the unfortunate Alaide is one of the queens of bel canto on the global opera scene, Jessica Pratt. By now, the Pratt-Bellini pairing is almost inseparable, and the Australian soprano feels right at home in the Sicilian territory. The audience eagerly awaits her entrance and doesn't hold back in their ovations. Once again, Pratt proves the experience she has gained in tackling this repertoire: the expressiveness that emanates from every phrase or glance compensates for the absence of stage setting... Throughout the entire evening, Jessica Pratt continues to move with touching pianissimo phrases, her endless breaths, and the dazzling coloraturas that fill both the ears and the hearts of those who listen."

L’Italia ospita tanti incredibili teatri d’opera e Catania è indubbiamente uno dei più belli. L’ho visto più volte da turista, ma questa è la prima volta che mi ritrovo a cantare in questo storico luogo mozzafiato. Sono felicissima di rappresentare, non una, ma due opere di Bellini nei prossimi mesi nella sua città natale.

Italy is home to many incredible opera theatres, and Catania is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful. I have visited it many times as a tourist, but this is the first time I will be singing inside this historic and breathtaking venue. I am very excited to perform not one, but two Bellini operas over the next few months in the birthplace of Vincenzo Bellini.

Every soprano has her idol. Growing up in Australia, mine was naturally Joan Sutherland.
Tonight, on the anniversary of Vincenzo Bellini’s death, here in Catania, I decided to honor her by wearing this iconic brooch, worn by her in the portrait by Ulisse Sartini that hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in London.
It was given to me by a dear friend during the 50th-anniversary celebrations of the Sydney Opera House.
A tangible connection between the three countries where I have lived.

Quando sei un cantante e visiti Catania, non manca mai la visita al capezzale di Bellini nella cattedrale. Bellissima.
A pochi passi da S.Agata c’è anche la sua casa natale. L’avevo visitata anni fa ma questa mattina, rivedendola sono rimasta felicemente sorpresa delle innovazioni che il museo Bellini ha apportato negli anni.
Oltre alla casa natia, ora c’è un percorso multimediale fatto di piccole salette che ricostruiscono i grandi teatri. Palchetti, volte e palcoscenici in miniatura arricchite da cimeli, lettere, partiture e proiezioni ben fatte.
Una vera gemma da non perdere.❤️

Last night was as crazy as always with last-minute jump ins, but this time with the added challenge of rain, which meant we couldn’t rehearse before the concert! In the end, I just had a chance to talk through most of the pieces with Maestro Alessandro Cadario, and he did an absolutely miraculous job of holding everything together! I was super impressed!!! Francesco Demuro is actually the tenor I have sung most with over my career so of course a great friend and wonderful singer like him being there made everything feel very familiar, I have lost count of how many Sonnambula and Puritani we have sung together over the years. The wonderful orchestra and chorus of Teatro Massimo Bellini did an incredible job especially due to the lack of rehearsals, it felt like I had been singing with them forever.
The original programme ended with Puccini… not being a Puccini singer, I had to dig deep and pulled out ‘Si, mi chiamano Mimì,’ which I used to sing as a student in competitions… along with ‘Queen of the Night’ (I didn’t know much about repertoire back then!). Anyway, it had been 20 years since I sang that aria in public, and I had fun pretending to be a lyric soprano for a few minutes!

Hi all, it was brought to my attention that facebook has done an awful job at translating this review and the writer has received a fair few insults as a result. I have translated it to French, English and Spanish and will be checking the future translations from Facebook! Sorry for the confusion!
Thank you all for jumping to my defence, I was somewhat confused why people were so upset about this review before I figured out facebook had translated things like ‘super refined’ as ‘superficial’ Also a personal favorite: ‘sovracuti’ instead of super high notes translated as ‘overrated’
Don’t worry I don’t post bad reviews in order to lynch the writers 😅😅😅 I just scream a little to my husband and then ignore them 🤣

Some reviews from our performance of "Il Viaggio a Reims"...
"Accolte da ovazioni di durata eccezionale l’aria di una meravigliosa Contessa di Folleville con Jessica Pratt"
Daniele Valersi - Artesnews
-----------------------
"Ovazioni anche per l’effervescente Contessa di Jessica Pratt, la quale ha saputo sfoggiare un registro superiore solidissimo e agilità vertiginose, rendendo al contempo alla perfezione lo spirito frivolo del proprio personaggio con l’utilizzo della giusta dose di umorismo e brio all’interno di una scena dello svenimento che risulta davvero magnifica."
Simone Manfredini - OperaClick
-----------------------
"Anche Jessica Pratt, dal piglio sempre ardimentoso, è un’apprezzatissima Contessa di Folleville, molto festeggiata dal pubblico."
Michele Curnis - GBOpera
