ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
“On Friday evening, Salle Wilfrid Pelletier was packed for a joint appearance by soprano Aprile Millo and baritone Louis Quilico, two artists well known for their aptitude for the music of Verdi. Quilico made clear that in his 70th year the baritone still owned a voice of great magnitude, range and even brilliance. Millo, is blessed with a lustrous instrument. Quilico, having established his Verdian authority in Eri tu from Un Ballo in Maschera, gave a strong and sympathetic excerpt from Giordano’s Andrea Chenier, a resolute Credo from Verdi’s Otello and an impressive Cortigiani from Rigoletto. Rusalka’s apostrophe to the moon from Dvorak’s opera found Millo in soft and lyric voice, as did the Willow Song from Verdi’s Otello – a solemn, captivating performance of dinely-spun pianissimos that brought the house down. Pianist Christina Petrowska, Quilico’s wife provided a nicely coloured accompaniment. The duet from Act IV, Scene I of Verdi’s Il Trovatore, vividly acted as well as sung, brought the formal program to a thrilling conclusion.”
