	Renata Scotto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1953, Scotto auditioned at La Scala for the role of Walter in Catalani's La Wally with Renata Tebaldi and Mario del Monaco.
		After her audition, one of the judges, the conductor Victor de Sabata, was heard to say, "Forget about the rest." La Wally opened on December 7, 1953 and Scotto was called back for fifteen curtain calls.
		She is best known for her performances as Violetta in La Traviata, Adina in L'Elisir d'Amore, Cio-Cio-San in Madama Butterfly, Mimi (and occasionally Musetta) in La bohème, Lucia, Lady Macbeth, all three leading soprano roles in Puccini's Il Trittico and Francesca in Rachmaninoff's Francesca da Rimini.

	Classical Music :: The Classical Source :: Chelsea Opera La Wally :: Classical Music
		As Stromminger, Wally’s father, who is not heard after Act 1, Iain Paterson produced a richer, juicier sound than fellow bass Mark Beesley, whose voice was softer-grained, but both contributed positively to what was another good showing by this laudable group.
		The three later acts find the drama more marked, until the climax of the work, when Hagenbach, whom Wally loves in spite of many obstacles in their relationship, is swept away by an avalanche, causing Wally to throw herself after him.
		It’s rather slow to start, and the little song sung by Wally’s friend Walter (a ’trouser’ role) is not tuneful enough for a folksong and lacks the ’dignity’ of an aria.

	Guardian La Wally
		In the case of Alfredo Catalani's La Wally, the latest work to be shaken awake by Chelsea Opera Group, it might be the difficulty of staging the final scene, in which the lead tenor is crushed by an avalanche.
		Had he lived, we might regard La Wally not as a curiosity, but as a quirky early work by an operatic master just reaching his stride.
		Alwyn Mellor put passion and drama into her fiery performance of Wally, at times pushing her voice a little too hard, and David Barrell's Hagenbach was similarly committed but rather relentlessly loud.

		But the order of the songs gives the album wholeness, and the aria from "La Wally" frames the album so well that it is a welcome to hear it every time it comes back in variation.
		FYI: Just for fans of the opera "La Wally": if you want to hear one of the greatest operatic voices of the 20th century sing this beautiful aria, get a recording of Renata Tebaldi in La Wally, conducted by Arturo Basile.
		Some of the new material is iffy, as if we needed more versions of "La Wally", which are just remixes for my money.

	Guardian Unlimited Arts news Renata Tebaldi
		Callas established herself at La Scala and set standards in the execution of bel canto operas; Tebaldi switched to a later repertory: Refice's Cecilia, Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur, Catalani's La Wally, Leonora in La forza del destino and Tatyana in Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin.
		That is most notable in two accounts of Leonora in Verdi's La forza del destino: the first, in sound only, was caught at the Florence Maggio musicale in 1953, where the legendary Dmitri Mitropolos urged her to great heights of vocal and dramatic achievement.
		She can also be seen on a film shot at Naples, singing and acting the part as to the manner born, a grand diva caught on a great day, performing with a cast to match her gifts.

	Sarah Brightman -- La Wally
		"La Wally" is actually the title of an opera, and this song is an aria from that opera.
		The soprano B.J. Ward sings this aria on her CD Queen of the Night and the CD booklet says about "La Wally": An opera not often performed, as it involves snow stroms, glaciers, avalanches, and a soprano rappelling down a rope.
		All you need to know about this piece is that a woman named Wally is singing about her childhood home in the mountains.

	Catalani: La Wally (Opera D'oro)
		But even so, she can be heard to greater advantage in her later studio La Wally, conducted by Cleva for Decca.
		Catalani is known as pretty much a one-opera composer, and I think that La Wally is pretty much a one-tune opera.
		I have listened to the other recording of this opera with Renata Tebaldi (the live set from la Scala-1953 and the studio recording of Decca-1967), but I think that Tebaldi is better here.

		This "La Divina" recording shows what an astonishing artist Callas was, and STILL IS. She undertakes a repertoire here so diverse that one can only look to the far past to find another who might have been able to do the same thing.
		Maria Callas, La Divina, was the most famous soprano of the century.
		Presented as a three CD set, together with an additional interview CD, a booklet and some collector cards, this is indeed a set worthy of La Divina.

	Alfredo Catalani - Classical music composer
		Except for Loreley and La Wally his operas were quite unsuccessful because of the terrible librettos.
		Operas: La Falce (Milano 1875); Elda (Torino 1880); Dejanice (Milano 1883); Edmea (Milano 1886); Loreley (2nd version of Elda, Torino 1890); La Wally (Milano 1893).
		His style is based on the Italian tradition of Verdi and Ponchielli, but heavily influenced both by German Romantic Opera (Wagner, Weber) and French Lyric Opera (Massenet).

	Amazon.ca: Classics [Best of]: Music
		"Alhambra" and "Dans La Nuit"--a real treat, bathing the listener in Brightman's silky, sensuous vocalism--add two original titles to her famous adaptations of classical melodies to new lyrics (using Chopin's haunting E major Etude in the latter case).
		And whether you're a fan already in the fold or one in the making, the new material here shows the diva at the top of her form, in new renderings of "O Mio Babbino Caro" and "Nessun Dorma" (accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic)--fascinating displays of the operatic confidence she's developed over her career.
		Her concept albums are spectacular, and the way the songs come together to fit the chosen theme add to the atmosphere her music creates.

	FILM SCORE MAGIC - Diva
		There is a reason why 'Aria from "La Wally"' is put in the beginning, the middle and the end of the album.
		The two "Sentimental Walk" piano cues, performed by Cosma, are probably the most memorable and melodic tracks other than Aria from "La Wally".
		The piano theme is sad, very soft and slow.

	'Mass' Appeal
		He was a fastidious craftsman, and there is a fragile delicacy about La Wally’s music, especially in its atmospheric evocation of the misty, snow-covered slopes of the Austrian Tyrol where the action takes place.
		Manon Feubel’s vibrant soprano and expressive generosity made her a most appealing Wally, Frank Porretta sang Hagenbach with welcome security, and Brian Davis’s strong baritone turned Gellner into a particularly dangerous rival.
		Why Bernstein’s roundly hated Mass is actually quite lovable; La Wally— bellissimo verismo; an homage-gone-awry to a legendary French chanteuse.
