Happy Friday! I'm passing along information about a performance
coming up next Wednesday. Mark Doss is, by all accounts, a magnificent
bass-baritone who has yet to get the kind of attention in the U.S. that
he's garnered overseas. Here is a review of his Macbeth at the Dorset
Opera Festival:
Macbeth,
who in many performances seems less interesting than ‘Lady’, as Verdi
called her, and has far fewer exciting things to sing, was taken by Mark
S. Doss. I don’t know whether it’s more my fault or his, but he is new
to me, and clearly a major artist. Whatever charisma is, he has it to
spare, looks marvelous, acts powerfully and has the most impressive
bass-baritone voice I have come across in years. He was Dorset’s
Dutchman three years ago but I idiotically missed that. Since he is 59
and has sung everywhere, Dorset can congratulate itself on having him as
the riveting central figure in this great work.
If you could pass this along to colleagues who may be
interested, please do! I'm planning to be there myself, so I hope to see
some of you there.
Ticketing information:
Thanks all, and enjoy your weekends!
My best,
