Kodály Philharmonia will bring Puccini’s heroines from the operas Tosca, Madame Butterfly, La Bohème Vitae, Manon Lescaut and Gianni Schicchi to the Kölcsey Centre, but also Sister Angelica Part II.
On Tuesday, 25 February, at 7.00 p.m., the performance of Puccini’s Heroines will feature vocalists Gabriella Létay Kiss and Atala Schöck, the Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra, the Kodály Choir (choirmaster: Zoltán Kocsis-Holper) and the Lautitia Children’s Choir (choirmaster: József Nemes).
The performance is sold out, but tickets for the extra section are still available here.
Throughout his life, Giacomo Puccini paid particular attention to the female gender. This affection is evident not only in his biographies, but in almost all of his stage works. Seven of his twelve operas have female protagonists, but Bohemia, for example, is more about Mimi, the crow, than about artistic life in Paris. What’s more, in this opera there is another carefully nuanced female character, Musetta. But even alongside Turandot, there is a counterpoint in the person of Liú, the self-sacrificing slave girl.
