Tonight we will hear eight opera amateurs falter and wobble their way towards a usable result. After the technically strong vocalist Melis had to give up last Saturday, it is probably Mari Bella and Odd Ren\u00e9 Andersen that I have the most faith in tonight. Mia Gundersen has extensive experience with several different vocal genres, and can definitely be an outsider to the best performance, but tonight is primarily about breathing technique, power and, not least, communication. The evening’s performances in order: Odd Ren\u00e9 Andersen: “La donna \u00e8 mobile” from “Rigoletto” by Giuseppe Verdi (1851) CLASSICS: Odd Ren\u00e9 Andersen goes wild on “La Donna \u00e8 mobile” from Verdi’s “Rigoletto”. Picture from dress rehearsal. Odd Ren\u00e9 has made a smart choice here – La Donna \u00c9 Mobile is known to the vast majority of people, and that makes it easier for him to show viewers and judges that he hits what he needs to hit. As usual, there is little to complain about Odd Ren\u00e9’s understanding of tone, but of course you can hear the soul rock vocalist in the higher parts. Empathy and storytelling, on the other hand, are so-so. After all, opera often has to be as theatrical as possible, and here Odd Ren\u00e9 can advantageously go a little further. He is so loose in his own genre, so there is definitely something theatrical in him! Of course, Odd Ren\u00e9 does it flawlessly vocally, but it was never the big challenge either. One would only wish for a little more outspoken role interpretation.
