Just another everyday opera emergency
mainFrom the Croatian bass, Goran Jurić:
Yesterday:
9:51 train STUTTGART – FRANKFURT
12:00 flight FRANKFURT – ZAGREB
Hello Zagreb, hello Croatia! What a well deserved mini vacation after my Lohengrin at the Staatsoper Stuttgart, yay!!!
But, as I was getting off the plane, I got a call from my agent:
17:55 flight ZAGREB – BRUXELLES
20:41 train BRUXELLES – ANTWERP
😂
Today: I learnt the staging of a 4-hour opera.
Tomorrow: I jump in Lohengrin as KÖNIG HEINRICH at the Opera Vlaanderen!!! 👑⚔️
And, yes, a glass of Cedevita and 2h spent at the Zračna luka Zagreb – Zagreb Airport count as a mini vacation! 😎🏖️
Afterthought:
It’s a great honor and inspiration to sing this piece in Antwerp, cause that’s where the plot of this opera happens!
Terrific bass, in demand, and young (35)….great combination and these emergencies can only increase his star-power…Keep up the great work and attitude, Goran!!!
Wonderful Sarastro at La Fenice in 2015!
Yes, but – KERCHING.
