Note: this is a work in progress. The data we include
below is
not official.
We compiled it by tracing through a whole lot of files and calendars and is somewhat
fluid as we continue to explore.
We have
blanks that we will try to fill in and we know we are missing data on some performances.
We may also have misattributions. We will work. :)
This is
not official! It is a puzzle we are trying to complete.

Concert for the 15th Anniversary of Prodis Foundation
Fundación Prodis.Org
Ruggero Raimondi, José Cura, Sabina Puértolas and Rosa Torres-Pardo,
along with Marina Pardo and the group Coralia, united their voices to
benefit the Prodis Foundation on its 15th anniversary.
Madrid, April 10, 2015 --
Ruggero Raimondi,
José Cura, Sabina Puértolas and Rosa Torres-Pardo, along with Marina
Pardo and the group Coralia, performed during an opera recital at the
National Auditorium to support the 15th Anniversary of the
Prodis Foundation. The artists selflessly acted to help the Foundation
raise funds, which will be used to employee young people with intellectual
disabilities.
This is the seventh recital that Ruggero Raimondi has organized to help
Prodis. It is also the seventh consecutive year that it has been
sponsored by the GMP Foundation.
The concert started with José Cura singing
"Si puó..." (Pagliacci
Prologue) by Ruggero Leoncavallo, followed by Sabina Puértolas singing
"Quando m´in vo" (La bohème) by Giacomo Puccini; then Ruggero Raimondi
sang “La calunnia è un venticello…” (Barber of Seville)
by Gioachino Rossini. All were accompanied on piano by Rosa Torres-Pardo.
For his part, tenor José Cura sang
"E lucevan le stelle" (Tosca) by Puccini and recited and sang Pablo
Neruda’s “Pensé morir” and Carlos Guastavino’s “La rosa y el sauce".
He ended with the exciting “Canción a la bandera” (Song to the Flag)
by Ettore Panizza.
The concert’s finale was the well-known “Solamente una vez”, sung by
the four principles and Coralia. The audience enthusiastically
cheered the performers.

Madrid - National Theater: VII Recital Prodis Foundation
Opera Click
Alicia Perris
A special evening on Thursday at the National Auditorium, a different
audience: emotional, enthusiastic, willing and able. The Prodis Foundation
brought together a group of artists for a gala full of charm and tenderness,
with the great assistance of the presenter, a member of the institution
who are defined as ‘youths with different capabilities.”
Anyone who has worked or interacted with children with Down syndrome
knows well the warmth of their manner, their interest in approaching,
in learning, in integrating themselves into a society that has not been
designed for them. They are delightful.
The organizers state in the program that “This year the Prodis Foundation
celebrates its 15th anniversary. Over these years we have
strived to bring intellectual disabilities into society, pursuing the
goal of providing the necessary support to four hundred people with
whom we are currently working to improve quality of life, helping them
in their personal development and social and labor inclusion. Proceeds
from this concert will go to defray the cost of programs and services
that are developed by Prodis. We take this opportunity to reiterate
our deep gratitude to all the people and institutions that have made
possible these 15 years of hard work.”
Great singers and musicians have participated throughout these years
in the recitals organized by this foundation and this time they turned
to internationally acclaimed personalities, the highly renowned the
baritone Italian Ruggero Raimondi and the tenor and director José Cura.
Raimondi, deeply involved for personal and family reason in this project,
included the young people of Prodis, seated in the choir stalls, during
his performance as did the other participants.
His performances in films like Tosca, Rigoletto,
Carmen, and the legendary Don Giovanni with
Teresa Berganza and Boris Zulawski are part of cinematic legend. He
has also been Don Quixote and Felipe II, singing superbly the Act IV
aria from Verdi’s Don Carlo, though at this performance
it would have been too melancholy. He substituted instead a very funny
recreation of
Barber of Seville.
José Cura was fantastic and dashing with his Pagliacci,
his touching "E lucevan le stelle," and especially exciting for me,
his version of the “ Aurora which has been adopted in
homage as the Argentine flag and sung every day in schools, as well
as his own composition of the Pensé morir with lyrics by Pablo Neruda
and, of course, “La rosa y el sauce” by the Argentine master Carlos
Guastavino. Together with Alberto Ginastera, Guastavino spearheaded
composition in Argentina, just as Heitor Villa Lobos did in Brazil.
[…]
The graceful Spanish soprano Sabina Puértolas delivered with a very
good vocal line a beautifully sung
"O mio babbino caro" and "Quando m´en vo´" from Puccini and
“Canción de Vilja” from the Merry Window. She had taste
and an excellent relationship with mezzo-soprano Marina Pardo, who offerend
“Canción del fuego fatuo” and “Todas las mañanitas” as well as duetting
the Barcarolle from the Tales of Hoffman with Puértolas.
The mezzo has an ample registry and a delicate and fit voice.
The pair offered female voices to accompany Raimondi and Cura, as did
the vocal group Coralia. The renowned Spanish pianist Rosa Torres-Pardo
soloed with Falla’s Fire Dance and as an accompanist throughout
the performance. Torres-Pardo was better when not playing forte, which
was usually supported with energetic foot accompaniment.
The audience, which included Alberto Gallardón, the former Minister
of Justice from the current Spanish government, and Ana Botella, mayor
of Madrid, along with family, friends, and volunteers, applauded and
encouraged the participants of Prodis, as well as the artists who made
the concert a unforgettable night.
After the concert, Maestro Cura and Raimondi greeted each other backstage.
They were delighted and satisfied, brandishing the red roses that had
been offered them by Prodis, excited. Jubilation. Tutti.

 I am sharing with you a picture that
represents a loving memory of a very touching moment for
me. It was the 9th of April during a concert for Prodis
(http://www.fundacionprodis.org) and the photo is from the
moment I sing the Pagliacci Prologue. As many of you know,
I always take the chance of holding some kid's hand if I
find one in the closest seats when I walk in, and so this
time was Ana's chance.
Ana is 21 and, despite suffering
Down syndrome, is the smartest girl I that ever accompanied
me when singing this aria. Usually, the kid in turn remains
stiff like a log... On the contrary, Ana literally "performed"
with me, portraying, unconsciously, the role of the "little
clown".
Watching her while I was singing
was both a balm for my soul and a dangerous thing too, because
her innocence got me so deep that I had to concentrate a
lot in order not to choke with emotion. At the end, I was
relief to see that almost everybody in the auditorium was
weeping, so it was not just me...
Thank you, sweet Ana, and thank you
very much to all of you, wonderful kids of the Prodis Foundation,
for your example!

Gala Performance at L'Arena di Verona
We couldn't find any reviews--but then, how could anything this
special be assessed? Below is a collection of 'stuff' we were able to find,
beginning with José Cura's own memories of the beginning of his European singing
career...

Tenor José Cura with Open Heart
at the Opera of Monte-Carlo
Musicologie.org
3 December 2014

Translated
by Denise Ash
Those who, on Tuesday2 December, took advantage of the intermission
to leave the Garnier concert room will have denied themselves a great pleasure.
Perhaps they were attending tenor José Cura’s recital with the secret hope of
hearing again that extraordinary voice that had charmed them in April 2013 during
the performance of Verdi’s Stiffelio which highlighted the closing of the Monegasque
lyrical season? Yet, with two good hours of “Argentinian Songs” the former
student from the choir at the Colon Theater of Buenos Aires literally cast a
spell on the audience which included a small number of South Americans; in the
same way, a young couple from Riyad—he is a surgeon from the King Saoud University
Health Center—savored all the soft musicality of the melodies in spite of the
uncompromising language barrier. No need to understand José Cura: it was
enough to let his affects carry you away in the poetic universe of the Argentinian
tenor.
Accompanied by pianist Kristin Okerlund, professor at the Vienna
Conservatoire, with a treasure of delicacy in the interpretation including a
Debussy-like gossamery rubato of the “Violetas”, excerpt from the poems
of Luis Cernuda, and also assisted by Anthéa Sogno as a narrator, José Cura
opened up wholeheartedly with a program dedicated to love, sadness and nostalgia.
“No tenor tonight,” he said while asking the person in charge of the stage,
“the center of the theater’s life”, for “more light in the room itself in order
to better see”…his audience. “In good French from the Sorbonne,” he added
with amusement, “we will treat ourselves with a hell of a night with the most
beautiful poetries from my country.” After “Desde el fondo de ti” by Hilda
Herrera, founder in 2002 of the “Creadores e Intérpretes de la Musica Argentina
en Piano” (CIMAP) and a moving “Lagrimas” adapted from Maria Elena Walsh’s “Postal
de Guerra”, the opera singer who has also become a director and stage designer
insisted in making explicit the origin and the meaning of each melody to be
sung. “Funeral Coya” by Felipe Boero, whose second term was a title created
by Incas from the name of an ethnic group who “is nowadays nothing more than
a synonym of poverty.” From Carlos Lopez Buchardo, he sang the very dark
“Cancion del carretero,” where the “carter sings his sacrifice and whose voice
carries the burden.” A long presentation—a captivating story which began
at the time of his performance in Francesca da Rimini in 1995—introduced
“a change in the register” with “Si muero sobreviveme!” by Pablo Neruda and
a poem of sublime beauty evoking death “When I die, I want your hands on my
eyes,” and then the overcoming of it, “In this night, my beloved, together,
we will overcome the darkness.” Subtly, José Cura’s voice sinks into an unspeakable
pain, then in a sudden forte, ultimately cries out from the anguish which
submerges us with the ambiguity inherent in all melancholy, in fascinating and
intimate afflictions.
Undoubtedly to please some of his frustrated aficionados, the
second part demonstrates a rise in the vocal power for the tenor that allowed
us to hear “tres canciones sobre poemas de Cernuda” followed by a series of
simple songs dedicated to flowers, such as a short song on the mysterious origin
of the weeping willow which has “lost its rose.” This recital was closed
beautifully by a brilliant and overwhelmingly heartfelt interpretation of the
“Cancion de la Bandera”,” the Song to the Flag” by Hector Panizza:
originally an aria created for a tenor and played for the opening of the opera
house Teatro Colon in 1908, it became a sort of patriotic anthem imposed in
the schools of the country. “It’s my whole life that falls on me in this
aria,” were José Cura’s words before offering two “encores” welcomed by the
standing ovations of a conquered audience.
Nostalgic recital of Argentine
songs by Jose Cura at Monte-Carlo Opera
Monaco Reporter
Celina
December 5, 2014
** Personal Review **
Jose Cura intended to get closer to audience with romantic recital
The famous Argentine tenor Jose Cura returned to the stage of the Opera of Monte-Carlo
this past Tuesday, December 2, 2014, after the success of Stiffelio
in 2013. But this time around Cura gave a recital of Argentine nostalgic
songs by well-known poets, accompanied by Swedish pianist Kristin Okerlund and
French actress Anthea Sogno as a narrator. He aspired to communicate directly
with the public and open his heart.
As well as portraying the relationship between the poet Pablo Neruda and Matilde
Urrutia, the love of his [Neruda’s] life, Cura meant to offer a poetic exploration
of Argentinean music. The program included music of Hilda Herrera, Maria Elena
Walsh, Alberto Ginastera, Felipe Boero, Carlos Lopez Buchardo, Pablo Neruda
and Carlos Guastavino.
Cura sang in a softer voice adequate to the songs, but unfortunately the Salle
Garnier is meant for Opera performances and not fit for this type of set up,
so it was very difficult to hear him and understand the beautiful lyrics. Besides
the audience was there to hear the tenor sing grand arias in high notes, so
they were disappointed and a few left during the intermission.
But for the majority who stayed for the second act, we had the pleasure of hearing
the grand tenor give a romantic rendition of The Rose and the Willow.
And he moved us to tears when he passionately sang the main tenor aria of
Aurora (Sunrise), the hymn to the Flag by Argentine composer Hector Panizza.
Aurora is an opera in three acts by the Argentine composer Hector
Panizza in 1907, set to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Hector Quesada.
Aurora became the second national opera of Argentina, after Felipe Boero’s more
popular El Matrero. The main tenor aria “Alta en el Cielo” (“High in the Sky”),
at the finale of the second act was used as a national hymn to the Argentine
flag. I was born and grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I remember singing
the hymn to the flag everyday before class, and now that I realize it was really
an Opera, I understand how it was so difficult for us to sing it! I know the
lyrics by heart and my husband was mortified thinking I was going to sing along
Jose Cura, but I limited myself to lip-singing!

Love Sonnet LXXXIX
When I die, I want your hands on my eyes:
I want the light and the wheat of your beloved hands
to pass their freshness over me once more:
I want to feel the softness that changed my destiny.
I want you to live while I wait for you, asleep.
I want your ears still to hear the wind, I want you
to sniff the sea's aroma that we loved together,
to continue to walk on the sand we walk on.
I want what I love to continue to live,
and you whom I love and sang above everything else
to continue to flourish, full-flowered:
so that you can reach everything my love directs you to,
so that my shadow can travel along in your hair,
so that everything can learn the reason for my song.

Love
Sonnet - XCIV
If I die, survive me with such a pure force
you make the pallor and the coldness rage;
flash your indelible eyes from south to south,
from sun to sun, till your mouth sings like
a guitar.
I don't want your laugh or your footsteps
to waver;
I don't want my legacy of happiness to die;
don't call to my breast: I’m not there.
Live in my absence as in a house.
Absence is such a large house
that you’ll walk through the walls,
hang pictures in sheer air.
Absence is such a transparent house
that even being dead I will see you there,
and if you suffer, Love, I’ll die a second
time.

Our end of year gift: José Cura, Szymon Nehring and the Beethoven
Academy Orchestra
Małopolskie Centrum Kultury SOKÓŁ
December 2015
[Excerpt]
It was an excellent culmination of the sixth program of the cycle “Polish
MusicNow.” The Orkiestra Akademii Beethovenowskiej (Beethoven Academy
Orchestra) invited world-renowned conductor, tenor, and composer José
Cura and Szymon Nehring, the only Polish finalist of this year’s Chopin
Competition, to Congress Center ICE Krakow. We witnessed an important
artistic event.
The Orchestra met with José Cura in May in during the Ady Sari Festival
vocal arts competition. There he conducted them in the Symphony
No. 2 by Gustav Mahler in front of a crowd at St Helens in Nowy Sacz.
It was there that the head of the OAB, Martin Klejdysz, suggested a
future reunion with the Argentine Maestro. All was agreed to and
once again he stood with his baton in front of the same orchestra, this
time with a young Polish pianist. On Sunday, 6 December at the ICE we
heard Weinberg Rhapsody on Moldavian Themes, Rachmaninov's piano concerto
number 2, and Karlowicz "Rebirth" Symphony. The audience warmly
welcomed the execution of these works.
José Cura led the concert with his characteristic precision. This
time he captured the audience, not only in demonstrating the mastery
of his profession but also with his directness and sense of humor.
A great artist and modest, normal person—in Cura’s case, these qualities
always go hand in hand.

José Cura and Szymon Nehring: ICE Acoustics are what they are
Stowarzyszenie Muzyki Polskiej (Blog)
Anna Woźniakowska
7 December 2015
[Excerpts]
José Cura is known primarily to Krakow
music lovers for his cinema projection of great operas. Gifted
with a beautiful tenor voice, he belongs at the forefront (of opera
singers). Few remember that the Argentine artist is also a trained
conductor and composer. He is also a director, stage designer
and ... a photographer. On Sunday in the ICE Congress Centre saw
him in his role of conductor. He performed with the Beethoven
Academy Orchestra, ending this year's edition of the concert series
"Polish Music Now."
The evening opened with Rhapsody
on Moldavian Themes op. 47 No. 1 by Mieczysław Weinberg, a
well-written, impressive track giving the orchestra room to maneuver
and pleasing the audience. José Cura is a very efficient conductor,
with expressive gestures, so the orchestra could impress with the precision
of their playing.
Then he led in the Piano Concerto
in c minor , op. 18 by Sergei Rachmaninoff, with Szymon Nehring
as the soloist. It was interesting to hear him in other than Chopin
repertoire. It is a pity that the acoustics in the ICE is as it
is and that the place where I was sitting did not allow for proper sound
of the piano, especially in the first movement. I could, however,
appreciate the good cooperation between pianist and conductor.
But the most beautiful work sounded
was almost unknown, because I cannot remember when in Krakow the Symphony
"Revival" by Mieczyslaw Karlowicz has been presented. José Cura
"played" on the orchestra, doling out themes and threads, emphasizing
the climaxes--in a word, he created a beautiful story of love, sadness,
despair and hope. Beethoven Academy Orchestra rose to the heights
of artistry under his hand. No wonder artists had to encore.
All in all, it was a beautiful musical evening.
