Les 3 Contre-Ténors - The Castrati Virtuosity Competition
Available on all streaming platforms here!
Les trois contre-ténors - The castrati virtuosity competition
Filippo Mineccia, Samuel Mariño et Valer Sabadus Countertenors
Orchestre de l’Opéra Royal
Stefan Plewniak Conductor
Castrati were the first “stars” in the history of music. They often held the title role (and in Rome all the female roles in the operas), creating on the stage a real competition of virtuosity and emotion between the singers, with the audience as the referee with its demands for an encore. What if three of the best singers of our time were also part of this Competition of Virtuosity? Here come Valer Sabadus (Arad, 1986), Filippo Mineccia (Florence, 1981), Samuel Mariño (Caracas, 1993). Virtuoso arias, love duets and combative trios made the castrati triumph. Up to each and everyone to decide who is their winner!
