Event details
Two-time Grammy Award winner Jennifer Larmore brings the Big Apple to Liestal: together with the string quintet OpusFive, she takes her audience on a journey to the golden age of American salon music: from the ragtime of the "Roaring Twenties" to the compositions of exiled Broadway composer Kurt Weill, Bernstein's "West Side Story" and a Rossini medley - a show evening of the highest calibre is guaranteed!
Jennifer Larmore is one of the most respected mezzo-sopranos of our time. She has a broad repertoire that includes music from the Romantic and contemporary periods as well as coloratura roles from the Baroque and Belcanto periods.
In the 2019/20 season she will appear as Marcellina in a new production of Le nozze di Figaro at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, in her role debut as Herodias in Salome at Atlanta Opera, and at the New National Theatre of Tokyo as Geneviève in Pelléas et Mélisande in a new production at the Teatro Regio of Parma and in Piacenza.
Performances in 2018/19 included the title role in a new production of La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein at the Cologne Opera and Marcellina in Le nozze di Figaro with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra.
In the 2017/18 season she performed the title role of La belle Hélène at the Hamburg State Opera, Fidalma in Il matrimonio segreto at the Cologne Opera and Die Dame in Cardillac at the Maggio Musicale in Florence.
In recent years, Ms. Larmore has emerged as an exciting singer, adding roles such as Countess Geschwitz in Lulu (Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Teatro Real Madrid, Dutch National Opera Amsterdam, Rome Opera House), Kostelnička in Jenufa (Deutsche Oper Berlin. New National Theatre Tokyo), Lady Macbeth in Verdi's Macbeth (Geneva, Bologna), Eboli in Don Carlos (Caramoor Festival), Mère Marie in The Dialogues of the Carmelites (Caramoor Festival), the title role of La belle Hélène (Hamburg State Opera), Marie in Wozzeck (Geneva) and Anna 1 in Kurt Weill's The Seven Deadly Sins (Atlanta).
Her many career highlights include her Metropolitan Opera debut as Rosina in Il barbiere di Siviglia in 1995, where she later sang the title roles of Giulio Cesare, La Cenerentola and L'italiana in Algeria . Giulietta in Les contes d'Hoffmann, Orlofsky in Die Fledermaus, Hansel in Hansel and Gretel ,Gertrude in Hamlet by Thomas and the world premiere of Tobias Pickers An American Tragedy . Other engagements have taken her to virtually every major opera house in the world, including La Scala, the Paris Opera, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Vienna State Opera and Covent Garden.
A native of Atlanta, Ms. Larmore studied with Dr. Robert McIver at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, and then privately with John Bullock and Regina Resnik. She made her professional debut in 1986 in Mozart's La clemenza di Tito at the Opéra de Nice. During the same period, she sang her first Rosina in Il barbiere di Siviglia in Strasbourg. Rosina quickly became her parade role after she had performed it more than six hundred times.
She has sung with all the great international orchestras and under the baton of many of the most renowned conductors such as Muti, López-Cobos, Pérez, Bernstein, Runnicles, Sinopoli, Masur, von Dohnányi, Jacobs, Mackerras, Spinosi, Guidarini, Kalmar, Rudel, Barenboim, Queler, Bonynge, Maazel, Osawa and Hengelbrock.
Since the beginning of her career, Jennifer Larmore has recorded extensively on over one hundred CDs for the Teldec, RCA, Harmonia Mundi, Deutsch Grammophon, Arabesque, Opera Rara, Bayer, Naive, Chandos, VAI and Cedille labels. In addition to her numerous activities, travels, performances and occasions, the author Jennifer Larmore has published the book "Una Voce", which deals with questions of the opera singer's life.
In collaboration with double bassist Davide Vittone, Jennifer Larmore has formed an ensemble called Jennifer Larmore and OpusFive. The three programs offered are entertaining and varied: songs and arias, cabaret / operetta, movies and Broadway with string quintet and vocals. They have given concerts in Seville, Pamplona, Valencia, Las Palmas, Mallorca, Menorca, Venice, Aix en Provence, Amiens, Olten, Paris, Mersin and Dublin.
