They are one of the revelations of Donizetti Opera 2025 and have received wide and unanimous acclaim from music critics and audiences: we are talking about the <\/span>students of Bottega Donizetti<\/b>, young professionals who have tackled in recent months an in-depth work on Donizetti’s vocality and who, last night, following the second performance of the diptych <\/span>The bell <\/span><\/i>e <\/span>Deux Hommes Et Une Femme<\/span><\/i> at the Social Theater, received certificates of participation from <\/span>Julius Zappa<\/b>, coordinator of Bottega Donizetti, in the presence of. <\/span>George Berta<\/b>, president of the Donizetti Theater Foundation, and supporters of the project: the <\/span>Rotary Club of Bergamo Terra di San Marco<\/b>, represented by the president <\/span>Gisella Inverardi<\/b> and by <\/span>Vilse Crippa<\/b>, e <\/span>Charles Curnis<\/b> Who, together with his father, <\/span>Claudio<\/b>, supports Bottega Donizetti.<\/span><\/p>\n The ceremony involved the six artists of Bottega Donizetti 2025, sopranos <\/span>Lucrezia Tacchi<\/b> e <\/span>Cristina De Carolis<\/b>, the tenor <\/span>Crist\u00f3bal Campos Mar\u00edn<\/b>, the mezzo-soprano <\/span>Eleanor de Prez<\/b> and baritones <\/span>Francesco Bossi<\/b> e <\/span>Pierpaolo Martella<\/b>, and took place under the satisfied gaze of some of the coaches of this edition: the director <\/span>Stefania Bonfandelli<\/b>, who signed the staging of the Donizetti diptych, the baritone <\/span>Alexander Corbelli<\/b>, on-stage mentor of young talent and starring in <\/span>Deux hommes et une femme, <\/span><\/i>and the<\/span> conductor <\/span>Henry Pagan<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n The project, now in its fifth year, is part of the Donizetti Theatre Foundation’s desire to support young artists and training within the Donizetti repertoire, a line widely shared and promoted by Donizetti Opera’s artistic and musical director, <\/span>Riccardo Frizza<\/b>, which aims at the growth of a new generation of bel canto artists. This year the level of participants was recognized as very high, in line with the aim of assigning the leading roles in the two one-acts staged at the Teatro Sociale. In recent years the Bottega Donizetti has trained many voices that have refined the art of belcanto, and many of them have received engagements in Italian and European theaters. This year, another stage has, moreover, been added, that of the Ridotto Gavazzeni of the Donizetti Theater, for <\/span>Donizetti Songs, <\/span><\/i>a project in collaboration with Opera Rara – a British cultural institution whose aim is to rediscover, study and popularize little-performed compositions – aimed at the live performance of romanze, arias, barcarole, composed by Gaetano Donizetti, some of them in world premiere. <\/span> <\/p>\n
