Polish soprano scores success at New York’s Met
Her real-life husband Roberto Alagna plays her on-stage partner in the role of Canio, and as the New York Classical Review wrote: “There is a clear, natural chemistry between them. Her Nedda, though, is a striking creation all its own, a remarkably sensual reading of a role that is often played too quietly. She twirls around, dances with feather fans, and strikes poses on the hood of the company truck in the opening scene as though she’s the travelling troupe’s pinup model. […] Crucial to her success in the role is the relish with which she throws herself into the play of the second act, as though she’d been born to be a vaudeville star, rather than a singer”. “Alagna and Kurzak make Met’s Pagliacci a night to remember. The most emotionally devastating performances ever seen here!”, wrote the New York Classical Review. Pagliacci was staged in a double-bill with Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana. Further performances are scheduled for 20, 25 and 29 of January and 1 February. Kurzak made her Metropolitan Opera debut in 2004. Next season she is to sing the part of Micaela in Bizet’s Carmen. On 16 February, Kurzak and Alagna are to appear in Szczecin, north-western Poland, in a gala concert to mark the 65th anniversary of the city’s Philharmonic. Kurzak is also to sing in Poznań in April and in Kraków in June. (mk/vb)

2018 WAFCA Winners
2018 WAFCA Winners

As a film critic of medium-low importance, one of my most sacred duties is participating in the Washington Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA) year-end awards extravaganza. During this hallowed time of year, I watch dozens of movies and mine my own recollection of the good, the bad, and the ugly to determine what, precisely, the best films of the year were. At the end of this grueling process—this death march through endless stacks of DVDs, searching for the rarest pearl in an ever-increasing sea of muck—we WAFCA members nominate up to five films/people in each category. The five films/people who earn the most votes in every category are then voted upon by the whole of the membership, the winners are chosen, the press release is sent out, and blessed, blessed relief descends upon us as we put the exercise to rest for 11 months.
