Meet Rodolfo: The Poet

image

Tenor David Lomeli is a first-prize winner of the worldwide opera competition, Operalia, founded by Plácido Domingo for young singers. The Washington Post proclaimed him ”the vocal discovery of the season,” for his portrayal of Rodolfo in “La Bohème” at the Santa Fe Opera. The Classical Review called Lomeli’s performance “remarkable” and as a singer, “a lyric tenor with a rich, vibrant voice, ample squillo and that idiomatic ping on top.”

Lomeli participated in Los Angeles Opera’s Thornton Young Artist Program and is a graduate of both the Merola Opera Program and San Francisco Opera’s Adler Fellowship Program.

Hear David Lomeli sing the role of Rodolfo, the poet for Pacific Symphony’s production of “La Bohème,” April 19, 21 and 24, at 8 p.m. at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. www.PacificSymphony.org/Boheme

“Chris Botti is an extraordinary musician and a true creative artist. He takes the jazz idiom and brings well-known songs to life in a new and special way. His amazing trumpet virtuosity, combined with Pacific Symphony, is a unique and inspiring experience for both the audience and the musicians of the orchestra. And on top of all that, he’s a wonderful person. It’s going to be an exciting Pops weekend with Chris.” —Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman

“Melody has always been at the heart of [Chris] Botti’s music. Whether applying the lush sounds of his trumpet to the long, lyrical phrases of a familiar ballad or the arching, rhythmic lines of a jazz improvisation, his solos tell evocative stories, finding their way into the very heart of a song.” —

“The seven-member Shams Ensemble, which plays on traditional instruments, is a KNOCKOUT. The arrangements of the three pieces… were complex, all beginning with soulful solos and ending in ecstatic dance.” — Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times (Music review: Pacific Symphony celebrates Iranian New Year)

“It can be playful, can be shy. It is joyful. It makes you want to get up and dance. All of those things. It is saying that everybody falls in love with spring. All those cliches are there. But so wonderfully, genuinely and authentic.” — Iranian guest conductor Farhad Mechkat quoted in Los Angeles Times story on American Composers Festival, “Nowruz-Celebrating Spring” March 22-27.
