REVIEWS of LA TRAVIATA – MALMĂ– 2018/2019

20181119 SkĂĄnskan
„Stort skådespeleri och stor sångkonst visar Davide Damiani i rollen som Giorgio Germont. Med sin bäriga baryton målar han upp ett perfekt porträtt av en av operalitteraturens värsta fähundar, en egoistisk gubbjävel som använder moral och heder som ursäkt och korset som knölpåk. Det känns nästan synd att denna vidriga individ har begåvats med en av operans vackraste barytonarior ”Di Provenza il mar”, som Davide Damiani levererar i en utomordentlig tolkning.“
(Lars-Erik Larsson)

“Great acting and art of singing is displayed by Davide Damiani in the part of Giorgio Germont. With his carrying baritone, he paints a perfect portrait of one of the worst bastards in opera literature; an old egoistic who uses moral and honour as an excuse and the cross as cane. It is almost a pity that this obnoxious character has been blessed with one of opera’s most beautiful … Read More »



From a recent interview by Serena Marotta about my musical beginnings, my origins, singing, conducting, Tavullia, Pesaro, G. Rossini, Vienna.

17/10/2018

Today’s episode of “In Chiave di Sol” presents an interview with baritone and conductor Davide Damiani, born in 1965 in Tavullia near Pesaro [Italy]. We are pleased to introduce this internationally-renowned artist who will be curating the journal’s music column dedicated to transporting the reader into the extraordinary world of notes, voices and emotions…

Q: When was your passion for music born? Your passion for singing?
A: My passion for music began as spontaneously as possible, in an original way. I was about 7 years old when the local parish of my home town Tavullia organized a music course. All the children of the village between the ages of 6 and 10 years old were invited to participate, and each of us was given a musical instrument made of plastic that resembling the original instrument in no other way than generic appearance. … Read More »



Intervista di Serena Marotta del 17 ottobre 2018 (Radio Off – Palermo)

A cura di Serena Marotta

Oggi per la rubrica “In chiave di Sol” Radio Off intervista Davide Damiani, baritono e direttore d’orchestra, nato a Tavullia, in provincia di Pesaro, nel 1965. Un’intervista per introdurre un uomo di fama internazionale che curerà per il giornale questa rubrica dedicata alla musica. Un modo per condurre il lettore in un mondo straordinario fatto di note, voce ed emozioni…

D: Quando è nata in lei la voglia e la passione per la musica? Per il canto?

R: La passione per la musica è iniziata nel modo piĂą spontaneo possibile ma anche in una maniera al quanto originale. Avevo circa 7 anni quando furono organizzati dei corsi di musica nella parrocchia del mio paese, a Tavullia. Tutti i bambini del paese con un’etĂ  compresa tra i 6 e 10 anni circa erano invitati e ad ognuno di noi … Read More »

CRITIC “Les vepres siciliennes” Nice, 5/10/2014

 

“Autre interprĂ©tation aboutie, celle de Davide Damiani, qui incarne un Guy de Montfort de belle prestance et de grand style.”

„.., l’opera ha avuto in Davide Damiani un ottimo protagonista, vocalmente e musicalmente a posto.“

La Repubblica, Michelangelo Zurletti, December 12, 2005

„Il protagonista è affidato a una voce baritonale, Davide Damiani, che spesso deve spiegare la potenza e la forza del registro acuto, ma non rinuncia a insinuanti frasi in pianissimo e in zona di passaggio, di enorme difficoltà nel riuscire a rendere la melliflua sensualità di Mittenhofer.“
Il Messaggero, Gabriele Cesaretti, December 12, 2005

„La voce calda e timbrata del giovane baritono pesarese Davide Damiani è risultata del tutto appropriata per il ruolo del protagonista, …“
L’Opera, Ermanno Calzolaio, January, 2006

„Buona la prova vocale del baritono Davide Damiani che, senza difficoltĂ , affronta la parte del protagonista Gregor Mittenhofer, dandone un’interpretazione incentrata sulla spietatezza e sull’egoismo, sottolineandone i tratti cruenti ed irosi senza neppure incorrere in difficoltĂ  di estensione e senza mai scadere … Read More »

“….il migliore è Davide Damiani, il malinconico Michonnet, dove Cilea sembra cantare in prima persona.”

http://www.teatro.org/rubriche/spettacoli_estero/nizza_adriana_lecouvreur_40350

“Molto buona l’interpretazione di Davide Damiani in un incompreso Michonnet, dalla voce molto intensa ed efficace.”
L’OPERA
Aprile 2014

“Il migliore elemento del cast è il Michonnet solido e professionale di Davide Damiani.”

DER NEUE MERKER
22/3/2014
http://www.der-neue-merker.eu/nice-adriana-lecouvreur

“Eine besonders eindringliche Leistung bot Davide Damiani als Michonnet! So berĂĽhrend in Spiel und Stimme hab ich die Partie selten erlebt. Bescheiden und sympathisch auf der BĂĽhne, schlicht und umso effektvoller im Ausdruck seines virilen Baritons gelang ihm eine tatsächliche Rollenidentifikation.”

OPERA MAGAZINE NEWS
Mai 2014

“Davide Damiani, en revanche, campe un Ă©mouvant Michonnet.”

“Parmi les hommes, la palme revient dès lors Ă  Davide Damiani, dont l’émouvant Michonnet, rĂ©gisseur amoureux Ă©conduit mais fidèle d’Adriana, Ă©meut autant qu’il sĂ©duit par son grain vocal chaleureux. Il triomphe dans un rĂ´le difficile car ingrat auquel il confère une grande … Read More »
