Michael Chioldi gave a Bayreuth-worthy performance in the title role of Der Fliegende Holländer. With his magnificent, well-focused and powerful Heldenbaritone of the Italian school, he drew a very impressive portrait of the role. The enormous intensity and brilliance of his entrance monologue produced tremendous applause. This awesome singer is in the early stages of a huge Wagnerian career.
With a burnished sound at the top and clearly-shaped middle register, Chioldi sang the title role in Der Fliegende Holländer with dramatic vigor. In this, his debut in the role. he offered a superb portrait of one who set himself against his fate, one who in spite of all disillusionments still believes in his redemption through the unconditional love of a woman.
Michael Chioldi [in the title role of Holländer] presented himself expressly for larger houses and for Bayreuth. This young singer has a profound and meaningful sound in all ranges. His is an exemplarily focused and expression-strong Heldenbaritone, and he conquered his demanding role with bravura. As occurred previously in the premiere, the overwhelming intensity and brilliance of his performance produced great applause after his monologue.
With beautiful and expressive singing, Michael Chioldi was the high point as the Holländer, with a meaningful, clearly articulated and accented interpretation of the character. He convincingly presents the suffering of the persecuted and condemned protagonist. With great use of his vocal range, particularly well executed in the lower range, he gets to the essence of the character. It is wonderfully achieved.
Chioldi's interpretation of the Dutchman was really exceptional. He was engaged as a guest artist at Pforzheim, and his sonorous, yet never obtrusive or exaggerated singing, together with his sensitive expression of desperation, set a precedent for the company.
