Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen is embarking on her most ambitious season yet.
Soprano Lise Davidsen performs as Elisabeth of Valois in Verdi's"Don Carlo" at London's Royal Opera House on June 26, 2023. , making her Carnegie Hall debut, and performing three major roles she’s never sung in staged productions.
As for Davidsen, she said her first reaction when Gelb invited her was: “Really? Are you serious?” But once she got over her surprise she “just jumped on it” and began planning the program. From the moment she burst onto the international scene in 2015, Davidsen has awed critics and audiences alike with her enormous voice and effortless high notes. One of her early roles was the title character in Richard Strauss’s “Ariadne auf Naxos,″ and when she performed it at the Met, Zachary Woolfethat her sound was so “arrestingly powerful and visceral” that “you feel it as almost physical presence — pressing against your chest, raising the hairs on the back of your neck.
A few months later she took on the role of Elisabeth of Valois in Verdi’s “Don Carlo” at the Royal Opera House in London, and won raves for her dramatic intensity as well as her singing — particularly the many soft high notes the part requires.“It’s definitely easier to sing the high notes full out,” she said. “I think my control in piano is much better now than it used to be. It’s something I worked on.
Davidsen will perform that final scene in concert in Madrid in January but otherwise will be tackling the role for the first time. “I can say that I haven’t started studying them yet, but I have started planning them,” Davidsen said. One of those roles — she won’t say which — is likely coming in the next four to five years.
