The illustrated book BEL CANTO, appearing at Edition Lammerhuber presents the greatest voices in opera history with u.a. Montserrat Caballé and Anna Netrebko as as a gift from the 2019 Vienna Opera Ball
For the 13th time, Edition Lammerhuber presented a book as a special gift to guests of the Vienna Opera Ball. This time, the book celebrates the 150th anniversary of the Vienna State Opera. The success story of the “Opera House on the Ring” is presented in portraits of the 150 most impressive singers from these 150 years: Agnes Baltsa, Montserrat Caballé, Maria Cebotari, Plácido Domingo, Ferruccio Furlanetto, Elīna Garanča, Thomas Hampson, Jonas Kaufmann, Simon Keenlyside, Anna Netrebko, Luciano Pavarotti, Leontyne Price, Richard Tauber…
BEL CANTO tells of great singers of the opera house on the ring. Some worked there all their lives, while others only made a few guest appearances – but they all share a great affection, devotion, and love of the Viennese audience. Of the thousands of performers throughout the 150-year history of the house, 150 have been selected. Not the 150 with the most performances, but simply 150 extraordinary artists, which mean something to the house, its history and audience. Edition Lammerhuber dedicated and presented the book BEL CANTO in a special edition as what is referred to as a men's donation, or gift to attendees, at the Vienna Opera Ball on 28 February 2019. After Metamorphoses, Creation, Celebration, Close Up, Passion, Emotion, Glamor, On Stage, Harmony, Genesis, Chorus and Repertoire, BEL CANTO is the 13th book of an encyclopedia on theater based on the example of the Vienna State Opera.
