艺人介绍

保加利亚女中音歌唱家。1965年7月18日，卡莎洛娃出生于保加利亚南部旧扎戈拉州首府旧扎戈拉，自幼喜欢音乐，4岁开始学钢琴，16岁首次登台演奏莫扎特的奏鸣曲。22岁当她取得钢琴演奏家文凭之后，转学声乐，在索非亚音乐学院声乐系师从雷莎·科莱娃(Ressa Koleva)。她首次登台演唱是18岁在旧扎戈拉，唱“哈巴涅拉”(比才《卡门》)，学生时期她就参与索非亚歌剧院的演出，饰唱威尔第《纳布科》中的费内娜；她曾将自己的演出录音寄给卡拉扬，得到大师的赏识，并邀她参与维也纳国家歌剧院的演出，可惜大师1989年谢世，卡莎洛娃1991年才与维也纳国家歌剧院签约二年。

1989年，卡莎洛娃以罗西娜一角(罗西尼《塞维利亚的理发师》)毕业于索非亚音乐学院，同年，她荣获德国居特斯洛国际歌唱新秀比赛一等奖之后，加盟苏黎世歌剧院，凡二年。初期，她只饰唱一些小角色，如瓦格纳《众神的黄昏》中的维尔根德、第二女神等。随后她饰唱的奥尔加(柴科夫斯基《叶甫根尼·奥涅金》)、安尼奥(莫扎特《蒂托的仁慈》)、海伦(奥芬巴赫《美丽的海伦》)、夏洛特(马斯内《维特》)、斯蒂法诺(古诺《罗密欧与茱丽叶》)、安娜(柏辽兹《特洛伊人在迦太基》)、等，她那醇厚的音质和精湛的演技，大受欢迎，广获好评。

她的声音条件非常优厚，音质美，音色浓，音域宽，音量强，幅度大，乐感好。她嗓音中含有的一种典型的斯拉夫热情，同细致到极点的动态音色变换相得益彰。

保加利亚籍的次女高音卡莎洛娃近年来在欧洲各大歌剧院非常的活跃，她演唱的《玫瑰骑士》女扮男装的奥克塔文一角，在演唱、扮相和演技上都让人惊艳。

其实卡莎洛娃是一位很晚才进入歌唱领域的音乐家。从四岁开始学钢琴的她，在音乐院主攻的是钢琴，在拿到钢琴演奏文凭后，因为经常为人伴奏而对歌唱产生兴趣，卡莎洛娃的生涯突破是在1988年，卡拉扬听到她录的试唱带，惊艳之余邀她到维也纳国家歌剧院演唱，可惜卡拉扬提出邀约一周后即过世，但她的歌声被大师相中的消息在欧洲乐坛迅速传开，卡莎洛娃成为明日之星。

她那一口东欧歌唱家才独有的唱腔，从最高音到最低音通透一色，没有因为音域变换而有间隙，以及超技的演唱技巧，都让她在90年代以来的乐坛独树一帜。也就是这时她开始加入SONYBMG团队进行录音。

在2004年以前平均每年会灌录一张个人演唱专辑的卡莎洛娃，近年来希望兼顾家庭，刻意限制自己一年演出场次不超过五十场，也因此过去四年都没有发行个人专辑。这张她以唱奥芬巴哈喜歌剧咏叹调的专辑，是她为自己即将尝试的新歌唱领域作的投石问路之作。

奥芬巴哈给次女高音许多华丽而俏皮的咏叹调，让历来的女高音爱不释手，卡莎洛娃当然不让这些前辈专美于前，她那口扎实如单簧管一般集中力极高的歌声，穿透了奥芬哈赫明快轻巧的管弦乐，和传统法国轻歌剧歌唱家的风格明显有着不同，但是却反而更能点出奥芬巴哈旋律中的乐天、喜感和浪漫之处。

专辑中卡莎洛娃选了七部轻歌剧中的十三首咏叹调，另加了两首管弦乐序曲。其中最有名的一曲就是被用在义大利电影《美丽人生》中的二重唱《船歌》，此曲中与她一同演唱的是女高音梅莉莎席本。全片里卡莎洛娃发挥她强烈的戏感，在每一曲中注入让人发噱的幽默感，让人既好笑又陶醉在她所编织的十九世纪中叶的巴黎金粉世界中。

Vesselina Kasarova (born 18 July 1965) is a Bulgarian mezzo-soprano opera singer.

Vesselina Kasarova was born in the central Bulgarian town of Stara Zagora. As a youngster, she studied Russian as a second language and had an early start in music education. She started taking piano lessons at the Pionerski Dom at age 4 (in 1970) and enrolled at Stara Zagora's Hristina Morfova School of Music and Performing Arts (normal studies in the morning, and music in the afternoon) in 1979. As she studied piano and worked as accompanist at recitals, Kasarova became so drawn to the voice as a musical instrument that upon earning her concert pianist diploma in 1987, she switched to study singing under Ressa Koleva at Sofia's Music Academy—focusing on the works of Mozart and Rossini. Kasarova gave her first singing performance in Stara Zagora singing &Habanera& from Bizet's Carmen. She performed at Sofia National Opera while still a student. She performed the part of Rosina in the Barber of Seville for her graduation exam.

In 1989, her final year at the Sofia Conservatory, she and 5 other students were sent to a month long concert tour of France. The artist agent Luisa Lasser-Petrov made a recording of one of her performances which she sent to Herbert von Karajan, who immediately requested to see her in Salzburg and then in Vienna. They met in Salzburg where she was asked to sing Agnus Dei from Bach’s B minor mass. Karajan wanted to engage her to sing Bach’s mass with him at the Salzburg Festival the following year, but died shortly after. The Impresario of the Vienna State Opera, Ioan Holender (then jointly directing with Eberhard Wächter) was persuaded by Lasser-Petrov to hear her auditions and immediately offered her a 2 yrs contract at that house to start in 1991-92 season. When she returned to Bulgaria, she took part in another audition at Stara Zagora Opera where she was heard by Christoph Groszer, the impresario of the Zurich Opera. He also immediately engaged her for his company.

After graduation, Kasarova joined the ensemble at Zurich Opera in 1989 and made her professional stage debut in Wagner’s Götterdämmerung as the 2nd Norn and Wellgunde. She soon became a local favorite there with the audience appreciative of her unique vocal timbres, expressive intensity, and virtuoso ability. She also entered and won that year's &Neue Stimmen (New Voices)& competition at Gütersloh (2nd and 3rd behind her were Rene Pape and Bernard Lombardo). The competition was sponsored by Bertelsmann, which ownes BMG Classics label, leading to her exclusive recording contract.

In 1991, she made her debut at the Salzburg Festival singing 2 concerts in commemoration of Mozart's 200th death anniversary and as Annio in Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito under Sir Colin Davis. In that same year she left Zurich to fulfill her contract at the Vienna State Opera debuting in the role of Rosina in Rossini's The Barber of Seville, and remained with the company for 2 years. There she married her Swiss husband.

Her international career took flight in Salzburg in 1992 when at short notice, she stood in for Marilyn Horne as Tancredi in two concert performances of the Rossini opera. Since then she has been a regular guest at that summer festival, performing in Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito, Idomeneo, Cosi fan tutte, Mitridate, the Mozart pastiche Ombra Felice, and Berlioz's La Damnation de Faust. She has also performed at other notable opera festivals such as Bregenz, St. Moritz, Glyndebourne, Munich and Pesaro.

Kasarova initially specialized in Mozart's operas and works by bel canto composers such as Rossini, Bellini, and Donizetti. By the mid 2000s she became much sought after in Baroque trouser roles such as Orphée in Gluck's &Orphée et Eurydice&, Ruggiero in Händel's &Alcina&, and Ariodante in &Ariodante&. After her first assumption of Bizet's &Carmen& in 2008, however, her voice has gained more warmth and size as she adds more dramatic roles to her repertoire. When asked about her repertory change in interviews the singer consistently states her intention to keep singing bel canto roles for as long as possible in order to maintain vocal health as she moves toward the heavier roles of French, Verdi & Wagnerian operas.

In 2003 Kasarova collaborated with the Bulgarian composer Krassimir Kyurkchiyski to produce the CD 'Bulgarian Soul'. She sings with the Cosmic Voices from Bulgaria and the Sofia Soloists Orchestra in this compilation of Bulgarian folk songs. &Many people don't know my native land. I would like them to discover the Bulgarian soul,& the singer commented. She won the 2003 German ECHO Award for &Singer of the Year&. In 2005 she won the Merkur Preis and was elected Bayerische Kammersängerin. She hosted Deutsche Welle’s Euromaxx television series Vesselina Kasarova: Bulgarian Encounters, introducing European audiences to her native Bulgaria. Kasarova was also named an Österreichische Kammersängerin in April 2010.

The versatile singer spends her time between performances giving master classes, and, in March 2012, published her first book, Ich singe mit Leib und Seele (I Sing With Heart And Soul), with music critic Dr. Mariane Zelger-Vogt.

Her recent roles include:

&Carmen& in Bizet's Carmen

&Charlotte& in Massenet's Werther

&Dalila& in Saint-Saëns's &Samson et Dalila&

&Eboli& in Verdi's Don Carlo

&Marina& in Modest Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov

&Montezuma& in Carl Heinrich Graun's Montezuma

&Romeo& in Bellini's I Capuleti e I Montecchi* (retired in Munich in 2012)

&Ruggiero& in Handel's Alcina

&Rosina& in Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia

&Venus& in Wagner's Tannhäuser
