The Final Romance
Das Ende einer Romanze
José Carreras as Julián
Gayarré
"The
Final Romance" is a dramatic reconstruction of the life of the 19th century
Navarese tenor Julián Gayarre, who was considered the greatest tenor
of his age. It is a dramatic reconstruction of the most important events
of his artistic career linked by fictional episodes to form a biography
that is part fact, part fiction. The story centers on Gayarre's love for
his childhood sweetheart, Alicia. It is a passionate and tragically tender
tale highlighted with musical excerpts from operas by Donizetti, Verdi,
Bizet, Wagner and others. This production stars José Carreras as
Julián Gayarre in one of his greatest feature film roles. Also featured
are Sydney Rome, Antonio Ferrandis, Mario Pardo, Susana Campos and special
guest star Montserrat Caballé. The music is performed by the Orchestra
and Choir of The Teatre del Liceu under the direction of Romano Gandolfi.
Die
letzte Romanze" des spanischen Tenors (Gayarre) schildert zum Teil die
wichtigsten Stationen im Leben des spanischen Tenors Julián Gayarre,
der im 19. Jahrhundert lebte. Der Erfolg und der Ruf dieses spanischen
Sängers drangen weit über die Grenzen, und man darf ohne Übertreibung
sagen, daß er als wichtigster Tenor der Welt seiner Zeit angesehen
werden kann. Sein Ruhm und sein Name haben auch heute bei Musikliebhabern
einen hervorragenden Klang.
