Kinga Dobay

MEZZOSOPRANO

"Last Night of the Proms" - Apollo Theater Siegen 2008

A storm of applause for Kinga Dobay!
In addition, Kinga Dobay, a mezzo-soprano from Transylvania, roused the audience to storms of enthusiasm: first with the aria of Sesto from Mozart's "Titus", then with the "Habanera" from Bizet's "Carmen" and then with the "Carceleras" by the Spaniard Ruperto Chapi from the end of the 19th century. Finally, the aria from Rossini's Cenerentola with adventurous virtuosity. An artist with a beautiful voice who mastered passages of the highest technical difficulty with ease and drew all the expressive nuances from the character of the composition alone. This was an artistic experience of a special kind, which catapulted the entertainment character of this Proms program to a high level. And the artist was also highly engaging in appearance.
