中國女高音和慧3月26、31與4月3日登台紐約大都會歌劇院，在本季最後三場的「阿伊達」領銜演出阿伊達。從以下簡介可以看到，不到40歲的和慧絕對已經稱得上國際第一線女高音，儘管在台灣知名度非常有限... Soprano Hui He was born in China, more precisely in Xi’An (西安). In September 2000 she won the 2nd prize at the International Competition “Placido Domingo Operalia” in Los Angeles, where she imposed herself to the international music audience. The prestigious copetition’s jury remarked her beautiful voice and her superb musicality. With Placido Domingo she has performed an important concert on January 5th 2001, in Shanghai.
Two years later, in April 2002, she imposed herself at the 42° International Copetition “Voci Verdiane” in Busseto (Parma, Italy), winning the 1st prize.
Two years later, in April 2002, she imposed herself at the 42° International Copetition “Voci Verdiane” in Busseto (Parma, Italy), winning the 1st prize.
The chairwoman of the jury was the famous soprano Leyla Gencer who spent a lot of enthusiastic words for Hui He.
Hui He is one of the most loved soloists by Chinese audience and mass media (recently, she sang at the New Year Concert, in the Big Room of Beijing Parliament in front of the Chinese Republic President, and the main chinese politics and cultural personalities). She also triumphed in Madama Butterfly, in Hong Kong, for the opening of the Philharmonic Ensamble season 2006/2007, where she gained a moving standing ovation.
In February 2002, she made her debut in Italy as Tosca at Teatro Regio in Parma (after an intense preparatory study for the role with the famous soprano Raina Kabaiwanska, one of the most important performers of Tosca), and she obtained a great personal success and instantaneous contract offers: for the role of Alzira ( Festival Verdi in Parma); for the role of Aida ( a production by Franco Zeffirelli for the theatres of Busseto, Lucca, Roma, Catanzaro, Napoli, Firenze and Piacenza); for the role of Amelia in Un Ballo in Maschera (Verona and Bolzano).
In February 2003 she made her French debut at Opéra de Bordeaux in the role of Madama Butterfly, with a true triumph of public and critics. After this great success, the Director of the theatre, Thierry Fouquet, immediately offered her to be back in Bordeaux on the following three years for a Recital, Tosca and Aida.
In 2003 she was at Festival Pucciniano in Torre del Lago (Lucca, Italy) to sing the role of Madama Butterfly. In this occasion, a documentary movie called “Madame Butterfly. L’empreinte du papillon” was made by french film director Marie-Blanc-Hermeline. The movie was distributed on satellite channels (France 5, Mezzo, CNC, Artè, etc).
In 2004 she made her debut at Volksoper in Wien, again with the role of Cio-cio-san in Madama Butterfly and again triumphally acclaimed by public and critics. This is how the critics described her performance:
“Hui He’s debut as Butterfly was sensational. She not only convinced with her great voice, magnificent technique and beautiful tone, but also moved with her intense and exciting interpretation. The best Butterfly one could desire. The ovation was truly deserved.” (Wiener Zeitung);
“From the very first sound, Hui He just spreads emotion. With a simple and effective mimic and inexhaustible strenght in the dramatic shades, favourite by her full tone, she transforms the theatrical tragedy in real tragedy, leaving everyone breathless.”(Der Standard);
“The protagonisti s extraordinary: Hui He i san excellent Butterfly! Dramatic in her vocal explosions, always steady and heart-warming. A true discover. Right applauses and ovations!” (Kurier) just to name a few.
After this, she was again Cio-cio-san in Madama Butterfly in the new production to celebrate the centenarian of first performance, produced by Teatro del Giglio of Lucca (Puccini’s city) and then hosted by eight more Italian theatres: Ravenna, Livorno, Pisa, Sassari, Bolzano, Trento, Rovigo and Parma.
