Tenor Kalle Virtanen is a producer’s dream – a true professional who learns his role quickly and does an excellent job on stage. Despite his youth, Kalle has performed in numerous operas. His instinctive stage presence and characteristic voice are well suited for comic roles such as Soldato II. In Poppea he will also sing the role of Famigliare II. The scene involving Seneca’s three followers is musically one of the most enjoyable in the whole opera. Monteverdi’s madrigal style flourishes in the three-part ensemble in which the Famigliari try to talk Seneca out of committing suicide. #orpheusmuses #lincoronazionedipoppea#poppeankruunaus #poppea #tenor #baroqueopera
