Waltraud Meier

I ka makahiki 1983, ua hiki mai ka nūhou hauʻoli mai Bayreuth: ua "hoku" hou ʻo Wagnerian "hōkū"! ʻO Waltraud Mayer kona inoa.

Pehea i hoʻomaka ai…

Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Waltraud ma Würzburg i ka makahiki 1956. I ka wā mua ua aʻo ʻo ia i ka hoʻokani leo, a laila ka piano, akā, e like me ka ʻōlelo a ka mea mele ponoʻī, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ʻokoʻa i ka maʻalahi o ka manamana lima. A i ka hiki ʻole iā ia ke hōʻike i kona mau manaʻo ma ka papa kīpē, ua paʻi ʻo ia i ke poʻi piano me ka huhū piha a hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hīmeni.

ʻO ka hīmeni ʻana he ala maʻamau loa iaʻu e hōʻike ai iaʻu iho. Akā ʻaʻole wau i manaʻo e lilo ia i ʻoihana kaʻu. No ke aha? E hoʻokani mele ana au i koʻu ola a pau.

Ma hope o kona haʻalele ʻana i ke kula, ua komo ʻo ia i ke kulanui a lilo i kumu no ka ʻōlelo Pelekane a me Farani. Ua lawe pilikino ʻo ia i nā haʻawina leo. Ma ke ala, e pili ana i ka ʻono, ʻo kona makemake i kēlā mau makahiki ʻaʻole ia he haku mele kahiko, akā ʻo ka hui Bee Gees a me nā chansonniers Farani.

A i kēia manawa, ma hope o hoʻokahi makahiki o nā haʻawina leo pilikino, ua hāʻawi koke mai koʻu kumu iaʻu e ʻimi no kahi kūlana hakahaka ma ka Würzburg Opera House. Manaʻo wau: no ke aha ʻaʻole, ʻaʻohe aʻu mea e nalowale. ʻAʻole au i hoʻolālā, ʻaʻole i hilinaʻi koʻu ola ma ia mea. Ua hīmeni au a lawe lākou iaʻu i ka hale keaka. Ua hana au i koʻu hoʻomaka mua ʻana ma ke ʻano he Lola ma Mascagni's Rural Honor. Ma hope mai ua neʻe au i ka Mannheim Opera House, kahi aʻu i hoʻomaka ai e hana ma nā kuleana Wagnerian. ʻO kaʻu hapa mua ka ʻāpana o Erda mai ka opera "Gold of the Rhine". He ʻano hale hana ʻo Mannheim noʻu - ua hana au ma mua o 30 mau hana ma laila. Ua hīmeni au i nā māhele mezzo-soprano a pau, me nā mea i kūpono ʻole iaʻu i kēlā manawa.

ʻO ke kulanui, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole i pau ʻo Waltraud Mayer. ʻAʻole naʻe i loaʻa iā ia kahi hoʻonaʻauao mele, e like me ia. ʻO nā hale keaka kāna kula. Ma hope o Mannheim i hahai iā Dortmund, Hanover, Stuttgart. A laila ʻo Vienna, Munich, Lākana, Milan, New York, Paris. A, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo Bayreuth.

ʻO Waltraud a me Bayreuth

Hōʻike ka mea mele i ka hopena o Waltraud Mayer ma Bayreuth.

Ma hope o koʻu hana ʻana no kekahi mau makahiki ma nā hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni like ʻole a ua hoʻokani mua wau i nā ʻāpana Wagnerian, ʻo ia ka manawa e hoʻokolokolo ai ma Bayreuth. Ua kāhea au i laila a hele mai e hoʻokolokolo. A laila hoʻokani nui ka mea hoʻokani pila i koʻu hopena, nāna i ʻike i ka clavier o Parsifal, hāʻawi mai iaʻu e hīmeni iā ​​Kundry. I aku au: he aha? ma Bayreuth? Kundry? ʻO wau? ʻAʻole loa ke Akua! Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, no ke aha? ʻO kēia kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hōʻike iā ʻoe iho. A laila, ʻae wau a hīmeni i ka hoʻokolokolo. No laila i ka makahiki 83, ma kēia hana, ua hana wau i kaʻu hana mua ma ke kahua o Bayreuth.

Hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Bas Hans Zotin i kāna hui mua ʻana me Waltraud Mayer ma 1983 ma Bayreuth.

Ua hīmeni mākou ma Parsifal. ʻO ia kāna hana mua ma ke ʻano he Kundry. Ua ʻike ʻia ua makemake ʻo Waltraud i ka hiamoe i ke kakahiaka a i ka ʻumikūmālua, ka hapalua o ka hapalua o ka hola hoʻokahi, ua hele mai ʻo ia me ka leo hiamoe, manaʻo wau, e ke Akua, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokō i ke kuleana i kēia lā. Akā, he mea kupanaha - ma hope o ka hapalua hola, kani nui kona leo.

Ma hope o 17 mau makahiki o ka launa pū ʻana ma waena o Waltraud Maier a me ke poʻo o ka ʻahaʻaina Bayreuth, ka moʻopuna a Richard Wagner, ʻo Wolfgang Wagner, ua ala mai nā ʻokoʻa like ʻole, a ua hoʻolaha ka mea mele i kona haʻalele ʻana mai Bayreuth. He mea maopopo loa ua lilo ka ʻahaʻaina, ʻaʻole ka mea mele, no kēia. Ua iho mua ʻo Waltraud Maier me kāna mau ʻano Wagnerian i ka mōʻaukala. ʻO ka luna o ka Vienna State Opera, ʻo Angela Tsabra, haʻi.

I koʻu hālāwai ʻana me Waltraud ma ka State Opera, ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he mele Wagnerian. Ua pili pono kona inoa me Kundry. 'Ōlelo lākou iā Waltraud Mayer - heluhelu iā Kundry. Ua haku pono ʻo ia i kāna ʻoihana, ʻo kona leo i hāʻawi ʻia iā ia e ka Haku, ua aʻo ʻia ʻo ia, ke hoʻomau nei ʻo ia i kāna ʻenehana, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻōki i ke aʻo ʻana. He ʻāpana koʻikoʻi kēia o kona ola, kona ʻano - aia mau ka manaʻo e hoʻomau ʻo ia e hana iā ia iho.

Nā hoa hana e pili ana iā Waltraud Maier

Akā, he aha ka manaʻo o Waltraud Mayer alakaʻi ʻo Daniel Barenboim, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hana i nā hana he nui, i hana ʻia i nā ʻaha mele, akā ua hoʻopaʻa pū ʻia ʻo Der Ring des Nibelungen, Tristan a me Isolde, Parsifal, Tannhäuser:

I ka wā ʻōpiopio, hiki iā ia ke hoʻohauʻoli i kona leo a me kāna kālena. Akā i ka wā lōʻihi, nui ka mea e pili ana i ka nui o ka hana a ka mea pena kiʻi a hoʻomohala i kāna makana. Loaʻa iā Waltraud nā mea a pau. A hoʻokahi mea hou: ʻaʻole ʻo ia e hoʻokaʻawale i ke mele mai ka pāʻani, akā pili mau i kēia mau mea.

Ua alakaʻi ʻia e Jurgen Flimm:

Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Waltraud he kanaka paʻakikī. Akā naʻe, akamai wale nō ʻo ia.

Luna Hans Zotin:

ʻO Waltraud, e like me kā lākou e ʻōlelo nei, he mea hana. Inā hiki iā ʻoe ke launa pū me ia i ke ola, a laila ʻaʻole ʻoe e loaʻa i ka manaʻo i loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi primadona me kekahi mau quirks, whims a i ʻole ke ʻano loli. He kaikamahine maʻamau loa ʻo ia. Akā i ke ahiahi, i ka wā e piʻi ai ka pale, ua hoʻololi ʻia ʻo ia.

ʻO ka Luna Hoʻokele o ka Vienna State Opera Angela Tsabra:

Noho ʻo ia i ke mele me kona ʻuhane. Hoʻopio ʻo ia i nā mea nānā a me nā hoa hana e hahai i kona ala.

He aha ka manaʻo o ka mea mele iā ia iho:

Manaʻo lākou makemake wau e hemolele i nā mea a pau, hemolele. Pela paha. Inā maikaʻi ʻole kekahi mea iaʻu, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole au i ʻoluʻolu. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ʻike wau e hoʻokaʻawale wau iaʻu iho a koho i ka mea nui iaʻu - ka hemolele ʻenehana a i ʻole expressiveness? ʻOiaʻiʻo, he mea maikaʻi loa e hoʻohui i ke kiʻi kūpono me kahi leo maikaʻi ʻole, leo maikaʻi loa, coloratura fluent. He kūpono kēia a, ʻoiaʻiʻo, hoʻoikaika mau wau no kēia. Akā inā hāʻule kēia i kekahi ahiahi, manaʻo wau he mea nui iaʻu e haʻi aku i ka lehulehu i ke ʻano o ka mele a me nā manaʻo.

Waltraud Mayer - mea hana keaka

Laki ʻo Waltraud e hana pū me nā alakaʻi koʻikoʻi o kona manawa (a i ʻole ʻo ia pū me ia?) - Jean-Pierre Ponnel, Harry Kupfer, Peter Konwitschny, Jean-Luc Bondi, Franco Zeffirelli a me Patrice Chereau, ma lalo o kāna alakaʻi i hana ai i ke kiʻi kūʻokoʻa. o Mary mai ka opera a Berg "Wozzeck."

ʻO kekahi o nā mea nūpepa i kapa ʻia ʻo Mayer "Callas of our time." I ka wā mua, ua like loa kēia hoʻohālikelike iaʻu. Akā, ua ʻike wau i ka manaʻo o koʻu hoa hana. ʻAʻole liʻiliʻi ka poʻe mele me ka leo nani a me ka ʻenehana kūpono. Akā, he kakaikahi wale nō nā mea hana keaka ma waena o lākou. ʻO ke akamai - mai kahi manaʻo keaka - ʻo ke kiʻi i hana ʻia ka mea i hoʻohanohano iā Kallas ma mua o 40 mau makahiki i hala aku nei, a ʻo ia ka mea i waiwai ʻia ʻo Waltraud Meyer i kēia lā. ʻEhia ka nui o ka hana ma hope o kēia - ʻo ia wale nō ka ʻike.

I mea e ʻōlelo ai au i kēia lā ua kūleʻa ka hana, pono ka hui ʻana o nā kumu he nui. ʻO ka mea mua, he mea nui iaʻu e ʻimi i ke ala kūpono e hana ai i kahi kiʻi ma ke kaʻina hana kūʻokoʻa. ʻO ka lua, ma ke kahua e hilinaʻi nui i ka hoa. ʻO ka maikaʻi, inā hiki iā mākou ke pāʻani me ia i ʻelua, e like me ka ping-pong, ke kiola ʻana i ke kinipōpō me kekahi.

Manaʻo maoli au i ka lole - he palupalu, inā e kahe ana ka lole a keakea paha i kaʻu neʻe - hoʻololi kēia i kaʻu pāʻani. ʻO Wigs, make-up, hiʻohiʻona - he mea nui kēia iaʻu, ʻo ia kaʻu e hiki ke hoʻokomo i kaʻu pāʻani. He kuleana nui ka malamalama. ʻImi mau au i nā wahi mālamalama a pāʻani me ka mālamalama a me ke aka. ʻO ka mea hope loa, ʻo ka geometry ma ke kahua, pehea ke ʻano o nā ʻano i kekahi i kekahi - inā e like me ka ramp, e kū pono ana i ka lehulehu, e like me ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni Helene, a laila pili ka mea nānā i nā mea e hana nei. ʻO kekahi mea ʻē aʻe inā huli lākou kekahi i kekahi, a laila pilikino loa kā lākou kamaʻilio ʻana. He mea nui loa keia ia'u.

ʻO ka Luna Hoʻokele o ka Vienna Opera ʻo Joan Holender, ka mea i ʻike iā Waltraud no 20 mau makahiki, kāhea ʻo ia he mea hana keaka o ka papa kiʻekiʻe.

Mai ka hana a hiki i ka hana, ua loaʻa iā Waltraud Meier nā kala a me nā nuances hou. No laila, ʻaʻohe hana like me kekahi. Aloha nui au iā Carmen, akā ʻo Santuzza pū kekahi. ʻO Ortrud kaʻu hana punahele i kāna hana. ʻAʻole hiki ke wehewehe ʻia ʻo ia!

ʻO Waltraud, ma kāna ʻae ponoʻī ʻana, he manaʻo nui. A i kēlā me kēia manawa e hoʻokiʻekiʻe iki ʻo ia i ka pā.

I kekahi manawa makaʻu wau ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke hana. Ua hana ʻia kēia me Isolde: Ua aʻo au a hīmeni ʻo Bayreuth, a ʻike koke wau, e like me kaʻu mau pono ponoʻī, ʻaʻole wau i oʻo no kēia kuleana. ʻO ka mea like me ka hana a Leonora ma Fidelio. Akā naʻe ua hoʻomau wau i ka hana. ʻAʻole wau kekahi o ka poʻe haʻalele. Huli au a loaa.

ʻO ka hana nui a Waltraud he mezzo-soprano. Ua kākau ʻo Beethoven i ka ʻāpana o Leonora no ka soprano dramatic. ʻAʻole kēia wale nō ka ʻāpana soprano i ka repertoire a Waltraud. I ka makahiki 1993, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Waltraud Mayer e hoʻāʻo iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he soprano dramatic - a ua lanakila ʻo ia. Mai ia manawa, ʻo kāna Isolde mai ka opera a Wagner kekahi o nā mea maikaʻi loa ma ka honua.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Luna Hoʻokele ʻo Jürgen Flimm:

Ua lilo kona Isolde i kaao. A ua hoaponoia. Mākaukau ʻo ia i ka hana, ʻenehana, a hiki i nā kikoʻī liʻiliʻi loa. Pehea ʻo ia e hana ai ma ka kikokikona, ke mele, pehea ʻo ia e hui pū ai - ʻaʻole hiki i nā mea he nui ke hana. A ʻo kekahi mea hou aʻe: ʻike ʻo ia i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ke kūlana ma ke kahua. Noʻonoʻo ʻo ia i nā mea e hana nei ma ke poʻo o ke kanaka a laila unuhi ʻo ia i ka neʻe. A ʻo ke ala e hiki ai iā ia ke hōʻike i kona ʻano me kona leo he mea kupanaha!

Waltraud Mayer:

Ma nā ʻāpana nui, e like me, no ka laʻana, ʻo Isolde, kahi mele maʻemaʻe wale nō no ka aneane 2 mau hola, hoʻomaka wau e hana ma mua. Ua hoʻomaka wau e aʻo iā ia i ʻehā makahiki ma mua o koʻu hele mua ʻana i ke kahua me ia, e waiho ana i ka clavier a hoʻomaka hou.

ʻO kāna Tristan, tenor Siegfried Yeruzalem, e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka hana pū me Waltraud Mayer ma kēia ala.

Ua hīmeni au me Waltraud no 20 mau makahiki me ka hauʻoli nui. He mele mele nui ʻo ia a he mea hana keaka, ʻike mākou a pau i kēlā. Akā ma waho aʻe o kēlā, ua maikaʻi mākou no kekahi i kekahi. Loaʻa iā mākou nā pilina kanaka maikaʻi loa, a, ma ke ʻano maʻamau, nā manaʻo like ʻole ma ke kiʻi. ʻAʻole ia he kuhi wale ke kapa ʻia mākou he kāne kūpono ma Bayreuth.

No ke aha i lilo ai ʻo Wagner i haku mele, pane ʻo Waltraud Mayer penei:

ʻO kāna mau palapala hoihoi iaʻu, e hoʻomohala a hoʻomau. ʻO nā kumumanaʻo o kāna mau opera, mai kahi manaʻo noʻonoʻo wale nō, he mea hoihoi loa. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i nā kiʻi me ka pau ʻole inā hoʻokokoke ʻoe i kēia me ka kikoʻī. No ka laʻana, e nānā i kēia kuleana mai ka ʻaoʻao psychological, mai ka ʻaoʻao philosophical, a i ʻole, no ka laʻana, e aʻo wale i ka kikokikona. A i ʻole e nānā i ka orchestration, alakaʻi i ke mele, a ʻike i ke ʻano o ka hoʻohana ʻana o Wagner i kāna mau leo ​​leo. A i ka hopena, e hui pū i nā mea a pau. Hiki iaʻu ke hana i kēia me ka pau ʻole. Manaʻo wau ʻaʻole e pau kaʻu hana ma kēia.

ʻO kekahi hoa kūpono, e like me ka nūpepa Kelemania, ʻo Placido Domingo no Waltraud Mayer. Aia ʻo ia ma ke kuleana o Siegmund, aia hou ʻo ia ma ka ʻāpana soprano o Sieglinde.

ʻO Placido Domingo:

ʻO Waltraud i kēia lā he mea mele o ka papa kiʻekiʻe loa, ma mua o ka repertoire Kelemania, akā ʻaʻole wale. Ua lawa ka haʻi ʻana i kāna mau kuleana ma Verdi's Don Carlos a i ʻole Bizet's Carmen. Akā, ua hōʻike maopopo ʻia kāna talena ma ka repertoire Wagnerian, aia nā ʻāpana me he mea lā i kākau ʻia no kona leo, no ka laʻana, Kundry ma Parsifal a i ʻole Sieglinde ma Valkyrie.

Waltraud e pili ana i ka pilikino

Noho ʻo Waltraud Maier ma Munich a manaʻo ʻo ia i kēia kūlanakauhale ʻo "kona". ʻAʻole ʻo ia i male a ʻaʻohe keiki.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka ʻoihana o ka mea mele opera iaʻu i hoʻomaopopo ʻia. ʻO nā huakaʻi hele mau e alakaʻi i ka mea paʻakikī loa ka mālama ʻana i nā pilina aloha. Akā ʻo ia paha ke kumu o koʻu noʻonoʻo nui ʻana i kēia, no ka mea, manaʻo nui nā hoaaloha iaʻu.

Ua ʻike nā mea a pau e pili ana i ke ola ʻoihana pōkole o nā mea mele Wagnerian. Ua wāwahi mua ʻo Waltraud i nā moʻolelo a pau e pili ana i kēia. Eia naʻe, e kamaʻilio ana no ka wā e hiki mai ana, ʻike ʻia kahi leka kaumaha ma kona leo:

Ke noʻonoʻo nei au i ka lōʻihi o koʻu koho ʻana e hīmeni, akā ʻaʻole kaumaha kēia manaʻo iaʻu. He mea nui ia'u e ike i ka'u mea e pono ai e hana i keia manawa, he aha ka'u hana i keia manawa, me ka manaolana a hiki mai ka la a koiia au e hooki - no na kumu like ole - e hoomanawanui au me ka malie.
