About

"Puccini In Love" is the first album by the award winning operatic tenor superstar Roberto Alagna and his wife, soprano Aleksandra Kurzak. Together they are the golden couple of the opera world. The album features some of Puccini’s greatest love duets including Madama Butterfly, La Bohème, Manon Lescaut as well as lesser known duets including Il Tabarro and La Rondine. Puccini in Love showcases some of Puccini’s most emotional and passionate operatic work. Puccini’s command of melody is truly unique to his time and combined with his orchestration creates cinematic and passionate compositions. Roberto Alagna has transcended genre’s through his music—not only is he an opera superstar but he has crossed over into other genre’s of music making his work easily accessible to many types of audiences. Aleksandra and Roberto have performed at some of the greatest opera houses across the world including The Royal Opera House in London, The Metropolitan Opera and La Scala.

Reviews

January 2019

There is a lot of pleasure to be had from this disc, which finds Alagna, now approaching his late fifties, in mainly excellent voice, though he tends to sing loudly throughout. He is, however, an intelligent artist making the most of his words. The same can be said of Kurzak, though she tends to be the nymph/seducer, both in her vocalising and in the accompanying pictures.

January 2019

[Alagna’s] Italianate timbre and open-hearted, open-throated sound is ideal…Characterisation is limited, although their singing is never less than lovely. Bohème’s ‘O soave fanciulla’ is ideal, though with a beautifully floated final note from Kurzak, and they save the very best until last: a glorious Butterfly love duet that is both tender and ardent.

January 2019

He and Kurzak are both on top form in a repertoire that has long been a strong suit for him and is increasingly becoming so for her, too; there’s no sense of push, just a natural development of her voice. Alagna is obviously the more mature singer of the two, but there’s still plenty of juice in his tone and his high notes ring out…Fans of either singer – or both, will not be disappointed.
