Lucas Meachem “shines” in Fedora | Metropolitan Opera

It’s been 14 years since the Metropolitan Opera performed Giordano’s Fedora. This exquisite opera contains some of the most stunning music from its time and I was so privileged to step in and sing De Siriex. Dwayne Croft, one of my vocal heroes, performed it last and to humbly attempt to fill in the same shoes was an honor. The role was unknown to me — I had merely one week’s notice to learn and memorize it, yet when I entered rehearsals alongside a formidable cast and director in Sir David MacVicar, the character became clear to me and I was ready. Our Met HD broadcast was a musical triumph if I do say so myself. The orchestra under Maestro Marco Armiliato was superb in capturing the rich textures of the score. Sonya Yoncheva, Piotr Beczala, and Rosa Feola were a dream to sing with. Thank you for having me, New York.

 

“Meachem was a solid, dignified presence as De Siriex, a character who handles a fair amount of plot exposition, singing with handsome tone.” – Opera News

“In the midst of the dramatic turbulence, McVicar inserted some lighter, almost comic touches, all courtesy of Rosa Feola’s Olga and Lucas Meachem’s De Siriex.” “Physically and vocally commanding, Meachem sang of Russian women with aplomb in ”La donna russa è femmina due volte”. – Financial Times
