Interview, Bruno de Sá on Roma Travestita

6th October 2022

The Brazilian soprano discusses his debut album on Erato (exploring the period of operatic history when women were forbidden from performing on the Roman stage) and the process of 'finding his own path' as a high-voiced male singer...

Bruno de Sá’s Erato debut, Roma travestita, could hardly be more striking. The young Brazilian singer – a rare example of a male soprano – explores a period when women were banned from the public stages of Rome and men assumed female operatic roles. Moreover, eight of the 13 arias on the album are receiving their world premiere recording. Opera magazine has described Bruno de Sá as “astounding … with a high register of soprano purity. A true male soprano able to command thrillingly ringing tones …” In partnership with Il Pomo d’Oro and conductor Francesco Corti he performs arias from the 18th century: by Vivaldi, Alessandro Scarlatti, Vinci, Galuppi and Piccinni, and by the rarely heard Capua, Arena, Cocchi, Conforto and Garcìa Fajer. On stage, Bruno de Sá has already sung such roles as Sesto in both Handel’s Giulio Cesare and Mozart’s La clemenza di Tito, Barbarina in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro, and the Little Mermaid in a new Hans Christian Andersen opera by Jherek Bischoff. “My goal is to sing what my voice allows me to sing,” he says. “It doesn’t matter which boxes it ticks or which gender it is.”

November 2022

Bruno de Sá sings with immaculate legato, and has a gift for scintillating decoration, dramatic octave drops and stratospheric ascents above the stave...The dependable Il Pomo d’Oro conducted by Franceso Corti offer elegant support throughout...Sopranists may be the next big thing, but it’ll be a rare one indeed who can beat this.

January 2023

Technically de Sá has much to offer; his coloratura is agile and precise, with well-articulated passaggi and well turned, if not always tasteful, ornamentation, including a good trill. At his best, as in the charming arietta for Deidamia from Achille in Sciro (Rome, 1738) by the Maltese-born Giuseppe Arena, there is in fact much to enjoy…

September 2022

Extending up to an easy high D (and he has more in reserve above that!), the Brazilian male soprano's voice is an extraordinary instrument, with never a hint of strain up top and plenty of colour in the middle and lower regions. The flurries of stratospheric staccatos in arias by Vivaldi, Galuppi and Piccinni are executed with audacious ease, but de Sá is no mere canary: he has a real gift for declamatory drama and pathos as well as for pyrotechnics, and sounds fully inside every character in this recital of Italian baroque rarities.
