FINDING THE RIGHT VOICE

-------------------------------

MARIA NOCKIN talks to
American composer Daniel Catán

 

'You want to frame the voice in such a way that it shines.' -- Daniel Catán

On 26 June 2010, I spoke with Daniel Catán, an American composer who writes operas with Spanish texts. He and his wife, Andrea, were at their lovely California home not too far from the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, where he teaches. His brand new opera, Il Postino, will receive its world première at Los Angeles Opera on 23 September 2010. The libretto is based on the 1994 film of the same name directed by Michael Radford...
