Victoria Chorale Committee
Greetings and Good Wishes!
Warm greetings and good wishes to all our choristers and loyal supporters. We hope you are enjoying the gradual lifting of lockdown restrictions and that music is adding joy to your life.
We want to give heartfelt thanks to all who have donated recently, enabling Victoria Chorale to make goodwill payments to our conductor, accompanist, and the professional artists whose performances were cancelled when we were unable to present Carmen.
Victoria Chorale, like most choirs, is waiting for Government decisions and Peak Body advice before resuming rehearsals or performances, as the health of our choristers and audiences is paramount.
We have been keeping connected as a vibrant choral organisation through some wonderful Zoom interviews with the soloists, narrator and director of our planned Carmen concert. We plan to present it when the time is right. In the meantime, we are getting to know the wonderful artists we will be working with and learning more about what they will bring to the production.
We are sharing these interviews, hosted by our inimitable
conductor Mario Dobernig, on our website. We hope you’ll enjoy looking at some of them, meeting the delightful artists and enjoying Mario’s interesting and sometimes cheeky questions.
We greatly appreciate the loyalty of our friends and supporters and hope you are all keeping in excellent health and good spirits. We look forward to sharing beautiful music with you once again when this crisis is over.
Zoom interview with baritone José Carbó
Argentine-Australian baritone José Carbó was scheduled to perform the role of Escamillo in our production of Carmen. He is one of the most exciting operatic artists of his generation. Consistently praised for his smooth, rich, powerful voice, thrilling top notes and magnetic stage presence, José has performed in the leading houses of the world including Teatro alla Scala, Teatro Real Madrid, Los Angeles Opera, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, Seattle Opera and Opera Australia. In 2015, José joined the roster of principal artists at the Metropolitan Opera.
During this interview, the delightful José Carbó demonstrates several excellent singing tips, and tells the surprising story of how he went from being a builder to an opera star!
