Mezzo-soprano
Annaliisa
Pillak
and pianist Siim
Selis
will perform an unconventional concert performance "Diva"
which is written and staged by Paavo
Piik. "Diva"
introduces the peculiar mind set of prima donnas and the company of
opera stages through the most famous opera arias by Wagner, Bizet,
Rossini, etc. Performance "Diva" is about the ridiculous
yet emotive duet-duel of capricious singer and her accompanist who is
tired of her vagaries. This evening one can see everything that can
happen when opera diva's sense of reality is blinded by the spark
of fame.
The
duration of the concert is 1 hour.

"I
have to admit that i do not remember when was the last time i could
laugh so sanatively with the whole audience while enjoying high
standard singing which is accompanied by the sensitive pianist!...
You have to see and hear this!"
("Legerity
and contrasts"
/Tiiu Levald/ 31.05.2012)
"... Piik
and Pillak have managed to combine their talents in the best way and
diva clichés have been transformed into absurd in such a brave
manner that they are always one step ahead of audience's
expectations. ...
...Everything
that can happen with a diva, will happen there. But what happens on
stage is bigger than life - The scale of emotions is often out of
limits...
Viva
la ridicule!"
("One
foot in the metaphor, other in the woods"/Kairi Prints/Eesti
Ekspress 3.06.2012)
Since
the premier in 2012 in Estonia "Diva" has been performed
also in Finland, Russia, Brazil. All the performances have been very
popular, because it's not based on text but since the beginning the
goal has been to perform music in a high quality. It is complemented
with the story by Paavo Piik which is based on the main character
Annaliisa Pillak's notes on the life of the opera singers.
Enjoy
the style and elegance of former times and today's splendid
musicians!
