… of death in opera!

Opera arias and intermezzi from Bellini to Puccini
With Margitta Rosales, soprano, Kelsey Maiorano, oboe,
Boris Chnaider, piano & Regina Heer, mentoring direction

Immortal! In romantic opera, dying, tragic heroines and heroes, like the undead, have populated the stage for centuries.

MEZZANOTTE takes you into the musical „art form of death“. Enchants his audience with aesthetic large-scale video projections in places where the finitude of our being becomes tangible. Mingles, the time levels of the past, future and present, which seem like parallel. And remind us of the timeline of our own live.

Margitta Rosales’ combination of vocalism, musicianship, stage presence and theatrical ability has earned her enthusiastic praise: “Ms. Rosales singing was superb… she has a bright voluminous voice. This is a voice of molten chocolate. What a voice!” exclaimed the “Operissimo” when describing Rosales dark mahogany, deep soprano sound.
The soprano Margitta Rosales, was born in Wuppertal, Germany.

Under the tuition of the Viennese baritone prof. Horst Gross. She commenced her studies at the ‘Hogeschool voor Muziek en dans Enschede’ in the Netherlands.

Awarded with the eligible ‘Wedekind scholarship’ she continued her studies with the mezzosoprano prof. Liliana Stefanova at the state academy for music ‘Pancho Vladiguerov ‘ in Sofia where she graduated with honors. Subsequent studies led her to Boyan Stoilov, Paris and Hans-Josef Kasper, Saarbrücken, who had a significant influence on her vocal development.

Yes, people call me Mimì, but my name is Lucia. My story is a brief one: on linen and silk I embroider, at home or outside … I’m calm and happy, and it’s my pleasure to make lilies and roses.

I love those things which possess such sweet enchantment. Things, that speak of love and spring, of dreams and visions, things that people call poetic. Do you understand?
