Fondazione Zucchelli Belcanto Singing Competition / 1st Prize Winner, Bologna/Italy (2016)

Das Programm enthält - wie auch das diesjährige Festival - dieses Mal viel mehr Rossini als "Co.". Eine relativ unbekannte Ausnahme bildet die Arie des Michel aus Le caïd von Ambroise Thomas, einer französischen Opéra bouffon, die 1849 zur Uraufführung gelangte. Wenn man überhaupt ein Stück aus dieser Oper kennt, ist es sicherlich die Arie des Tambourmajors Michel, die Gökmen Sahin mit beweglichem Bass und intensivem Spiel präsentiert. http://www.omm.de/veranstaltungen/festspiele2022/WILD-2022-rossini-und-co1.html (2022)

Sahin gibt den intriganten Basilio mit großem Spielwitz und lässt es sich natürlich nicht nehmen, nachdem alle schon denken, die Situation in den Griff bekommen zu haben, erneut mit "Buena sera" aufzutreten. http://www.omm.de/veranstaltungen/festspiele2022/WILD-2022-rossini-und-co1.html (2022)
