Free Music Review: Will this colorful opera become a huge crossover hit?
Hit: 4 Stars
The excited reviews below attest to the hot buzz that Golijov's opera has created. I was present at the original Santa Fe Opera performance last summer as staged by Peter Sellars. The audience received the work less than ecstaticallyy, but I think its flaws have been overcome on CD. All the major parts are for women, with Garcia Lorca sung as a pants role. Male voices appear only briefly from two incidental characters. The tone is mournful throughout, and the tempos are almost entirely slow.
What overcomes these drawbacks are, first of all, Golijov's lavish use of tango rhythms and Spanish color; the crossover feeling is much stronger than the operatic feeling. The same was true of his rocking St. Mark Passion. Secondly, we get the immensely moving singing of Dawn Upshaw, who only seems to gain in artistry and power. Early in her career she had a huge crossover hit with the Gorecki Third Sym., and now that she is a major singer, Upshaw could carry Ainadamar to the top of the charts. It's very accessible music full of color and feeling. I am not so sure about Ainadamar's lastig value as a stage work.
