Cologne Concert
Sandra just sent a series of photos from the Cologne Concert starring José Cura and Anna Netrebko, so we thought we would take a moment to look back....
"...the charismatic Argentine even stole the show from the almost too unassuming Russian with his tenoral vocal explosiveness, but in return, he received an especially cordial embrace from the beautiful Anna—an embrace that caused all the men throughout the arena to become envious."
|

"Cura threw himself into his roles; he hurled himself at the hearts of his audience. He might just have been the inventor of the large screen so that not a single glance gets sent out in vain. He has preserved for himself the heart of a child, he told an interviewer, and because of that, he slips into his characters totally and completely."

"Cura's voice explodes like a volcano. If this, his indisputably God-given gift, which he uses lavishly, were ever to give out, Cura has the ability to conduct, compose, or become an opera house director. The man possesses many talents."

"....the Argentinean José Cura, a tenor whose voice oozes sensuality. With glowing baritonal colouring, fantastically secure height, and personal nonchalance, he indeed follows as Otello in the footsteps of Domingo. And with 'fire-crackers' like the Pagliacci aria or Puccini's Nessun dorma, he threatened to upstage the Russian."
