MANAUS - O Teatro Amazonas hoje (30) será o palco para a última apresentação da ópera em formato de concerto "Pelléas e Mélisande", do compositor Claude Debussy (1862-1918). Nesta récita o grande destaque fica por conta do elenco composto por grandes nomes do cenário erudito nacional e francês, ambos de reconhecimento internacional. 

Dentre as estrelas francesas que compõem o elenco diferenciado do concerto estão a mezzo-soprano Nadine Denize, tida como uma das grandes damas da ópera da França, o barítono Jean-Philippe Lafont e o baixo Jérôme Varnier. Os três integraram o elenco das duas primeiras récitas de "Pelléas e Mélisande", ocorridas nos últimos dias 25 e 27 de abril.

Da esfera nacional, dois dos principais destaques são a soprano Carmen Monarcha, que interpretará a personagem "Mélisande" e o barítono Igor Vieira, que fará o papel de "Pelléas".

Carmen é uma das mais proeminentes artistas eruditas brasileiras no cenário internacional. O talento da soprano natural de Belém (PA) já foi aplaudido por platéias na França, Alemanha, Holanda, Japão, Bélgica e outros e ao longo de sua carreira.

Igor Vieira, assim como Carmen, também é um dos principais nomes brasileiros na cena operística internacional. De forma precoce, aos 17 anos, o barítono iniciava sua carreira profissional, em uma montagem de "Carmen", de Georges Bizet (1838-1875), no Teatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro.

A soprano Manuela Freua e os baixos Murilo Neves e Alexander De Paula completam o elenco estrelado da última récita de "Pelléas e Mélisande". A interpretação da importante música de Debussy, que é um grande marco do Expressionismo musical francês, ficará ao cargo dos músicos da Orquestra Amazonas Filarmônica e dos solistas do Coral do Amazonas, que serão regidos pelo maestro e diretor artístico do Festival, Luiz Fernando Malheiro.
