GATEWAY CLASSICAL MUSIC SOCIETY PRESENTS VERDI'S "AIDA"

A Review by Nino Pantano

As Aida's love and Amneris' fiancée, Eduardo Calcano used his tenor with intelligence and discretion. Calcano's musicality allowed him to conquer the hurdles of Radames with comparative ease. Calcano's instrument is a more lyric than dramatic but like Carlo Bergonzi, he knows how to sing. His "Celeste Aida" was well done and he was especially forceful in the act three "Nel Fiero anelito di nuove Guerra." In the final act "O terra Addio," Calcano and D'Imperio proved a golden age blend.
