Mauro Peter sang the role of Don Ottavio with a gorgeous voice and beautiful style. His role was cut short with the omission of his second aria “Il mio Tesoro.” As a result, the role was reduced to some ensembles and a single aria, “Dalla sua pace.” “Dalla sua pace” might be one of the most difficult arias in the Mozart repertoire as it does not go higher than G. Not only is it written continuously in the passagio zone but demands a sweet timbre which is quite difficult to achieve in that tessitura. Peter sang the aria incredibly with a clean onset and showcased a great contrast between fortes and pianissimi. He also displayed an exquisite mezza voce and excellent breath control. It simply could not be better sung.
Das Ensemble profiliert sich mit untadeligen Rollendebüts, allen voran Mauro Peter. Er verleiht der Titelgestalt juveniles Ungestüm, gepaart mit tenoraler Strahlkraft. Mit trotzigem Furor begegnet er dem Rat seiner besorgten Mutter und dem göttlichen Urteil. Dieses erscheint übrigens nicht als Flammenschrift an der Wand, sondern als Brandmal auf seinem Unterarm - ein rarer überzeugender Regieeinfall!
Und auch der Luzerner Tenor Mauro Peter als Belshazzar geht aufs Ganze: Seine Stimme verrät die Lust am Exzess, seine Gestik jene an der Macht.
