ANDREA CHENIER: GERARD ON HIGH NOTES

ANDREA CHENIER
From Verona
February 3, 2014

I have been working on Andrea Chenier for May performances in Shanghai.  

It is quite a challenge to sing the role of Gerard.  Much of the singing is big and declamatory.  I need to make sure the middle of my voice is open so that all that area is easy to sing.  The high notes are not an issue: I seem to be fine with all the high notes.  

I must also say, I think it is a great opera and love the challenge of singing this Verismo music!
