Valencia (12.05.21). René Pape will perform works by Dvořák, Mozart, Sibelius and Quilter this Sunday, May 16, at 6:00 p.m., in the Main Hall of the Palau de les Arts.
The German artist, considered the best bass of his generation, is in charge of closing the second edition of the 'Les Arts és Lied' cycle, in which, throughout the season, some of the most sought-after voices have performed, such as Lise Davidsen, Ainhoa Arteta, Anita Rachvelishvili, Christian Gerhaher and Sonia Yoncheva.
Since singing the role of Sarastro in Mozart's 'The Magic Flute' at the 1995 Salzburg Festival conducted by Georg Solti, René Pape has become a must-have name for the world's leading theaters and concert halls, especially at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, where he has performed 18 roles in more than 160 performances, and at the Berlin State Opera, of which he has been a member since 1998.
German opera is the great specialty of the Dresden-born bass, which he combines with a long and distinguished career as a lieder singer, showcasing his renowned technical mastery and interpretive skills. A two-time Grammy winner, he was named 'Vocalist of the Year' by Musical America and 'Artist of the Year' in 2006 by the German Critics Association.
René Pape will perform at Les Arts accompanied by pianist Camillo Radicke, with whom he forms one of the most celebrated duos for their lieder recitals. This is the first time the artist has performed in the theater's Main Hall. René Pape made his debut in 2008 at the Auditori, under the direction of Lorin Maazel, in Verdi's Requiem.
Les Arts reminds everyone that tickets for René Pape's recital range in price from 20 to 40 euros.
