In Character: Opera Portraiture (Amadeus)

ÃŠIn Character: Opera PortraitureÃŠ memorably captures operatic performers away from the audience but fully inhabiting their roles. It showcases the work of John F. Martin who for years set up a portable studio in the basement of the San Francisco Opera and photographed the players Ã¤ in costume and full makeup Ã¤ right before or after they took the stage. The subjects range from nonsinging supernumeraries through chorus members and comprimarii to opera's greatest stars such as Anna Netrebko Natalie Dessay Deborah Voigt Juan Diego FlÃ¬rez and Dmitri Hvorostovsky. Their roles run the gamut of opera personalities: heroes and heroines villains and outcasts royalty and common folk Biblical figures and creatures of myth. Facing Martin's camera each artist projects the essence of his or her character however great or small the part.ÃžThe book also features a foreword by author Amy Tan; a preface by David Gockley general director of the San Francisco Opera; essays on opera behind the scenes the vital role of costumes and the transformation of singers into characters; and an interview with world-renowned soprano Danielle de Niese. A collection unlike any other ÃŠIn CharacterÃŠ will have broad appeal-to opera and theater buffs costume and fashion aficionados and anyone who appreciates fine art photography.
